HarperChristian Resources Announces Bible Engagement Podcast for Church Leaders

Author and pastor Randy Frazee to serve as host of The Bible Roots Podcast

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- HarperChristian Resources announced today the release of a new Bible-engagement-centered podcast hosted by author and pastor Randy Frazee. The Bible Roots Podcast is for pastors and church leadership who want to help their congregation or ministries actively and effectively engage with the Bible.

"We have designed this podcast for anyone who longs to see people engage with God's Word. Everyone is welcome, but our crosshairs are on pastors and church leaders," said Frazee.

Learn from Randy and other experienced leaders in their respective branches of church ministry, as they bring a rich and valuable perspective that makes this podcast a practical and useful resource for anyone in church and ministry leadership.

"Bible engagement continually comes up in research as the number one thing that helps people grow in their walk with Christ, and church leaders are looking for fresh ideas on how to help people read, understand, and apply the Bible in a culture that is increasingly skeptical of the Bible's relevance," added John Raymond VP and Publisher of HarperChristian Resources. "Randy Frazee and his guests on this podcast dig into real challenges church leaders are facing, and discuss methods of Bible engagement that work in the real world."

The first two episodes of Season One of The Bible Roots Podcast are now available wherever podcasts are streamed, while the next eight release each Wednesday beginning September 14th through November 2nd, totaling 10 episodes.
