A Conversation with Biblical Archaeologist, Amanda Hope Haley

Have you ever heard something about the Bible your whole life… only to find out it may not actually be what Scripture says? Friend, today's episode is unlike anything we've ever done before. I'm joined by Amanda Hope Haley — a Harvard-trained biblical archaeologist ( yes, you read that right!) — and our conversation will stretch your thinking in the very best way.
