Have you ever wondered, “How do I really know the Bible is true?”
In today’s episode, we’re stepping into that honest, sacred space together.

I’m joined by biblical archaeologist and author Amanda Hope Haley, whose newest book, Stones Still Speak, reveals how ancient discoveries actually deepen our confidence in Scripture. These aren’t dusty relics, they’re reminders that God’s Word is rooted in real history, real places, real promises.

We talk about:

  • Why archaeology doesn’t challenge our faith, but strengthens it
  • Surprising discoveries that illuminate familiar Bible stories
  • How historical context can anchor us in seasons of doubt or waiting
  • Practical ways to read Scripture with curiosity and confidence

If you’ve ever felt the tension between faith and questions, this conversation is for you. Grab your coffee and settle in. Today is the day to get real and get rooted a little more deeply in God’s truth.
