About this podcast
Biblical Reflections is a Christ-centered Bible teaching podcast that journeys through Scripture with host Andrew — a storyteller at heart who happens to know his Greek.
Andrew came up in a working-class home, and it shows in the best way: he'll take you into the depth of the text, then explain it plainly and clearly, the way a good storyteller does. The result is teaching that's thought-provoking and genuinely engaging — his passion for God's Word comes through in every episode.
Each season takes on a new focus. Season 1 traced the gospel across Scripture — every place the good news of Jesus breaks through. The current season walks through the Psalms, one at a time, with Proverbs up next.
Wherever you're joining from — deep in study or just along for the journey — there's a place for you here. New episodes weekly.
A podcast from Cogworks Media, an independent, interdenominational media ministry amplifying faithful voices for the Great Commission. Find all our shows at cogworksmedia.org.
