The number 40 is a significant Bible thread. We think of the Israelites' 40 years in the desert and the 40 days of fasting for Elijah and Jesus. But there is more to the number than just recording time.Dr. Bruce Becker takes us on a deep dive of the number 40, showing us how it represents testing, trials, tragedy and triumph—and how we are drawn closer to God.If you like "Bible Threads," check out our other podcasts and content at timeofgrace.org!About our podcast "Bible Threads With Dr. Bruce Becker": The Bible can be intimidating, right? There are 66 different books, more than 700,000 words, and all of it was written over a period of 1,600 years by dozens of different authors. How do we make sense of it all, and what does it mean for our lives? Amazingly, the Bible is incredibly interconnected with “threads” that run through it from beginning to end. In this podcast, Bible scholar and author Dr. Bruce Becker will uncover these threads, help you dig deeper into God’s truth, and inspire you to live your life with greater confidence and joy. Dr. Becker brings his vast experience to share with you through this podcast. He has served as the pastor of a mission start in New York State; lead pastor of a church in Brillion, Wisconsin; and a ministry coach to churches and schools.
