As we wrap up 2025, we’re celebrating two big milestones: 10 years and 500 episodes of exploring the Bible together! To mark the occasion, we’re strolling down memory lane to see how it all began. How does a side project recorded in a closet turn into a decade-long global conversation? In this episode, producer Lindsey Ponder interviews Jon, Tim, and other team members about how the show came to be, its growth over time, and how it continues to shape us, even as it helps hundreds of thousands of listeners experience the Bible as a unified story that leads to Jesus. FULL SHOW NOTESFor detailed, chapter-by-chapter summaries and referenced resources, <a href="https://bibleproject.com/podcast/10-years-and-500-episodes/">check out the full show notes for this episode</a>.CHAPTERS<ol><li>Intro (0:00-2:22)</li><li>Before the Mic (2:22-11:17)</li><li>The Closet Under the Stairs (11:17-19:35)</li><li>A Growing Audience and Team (19:35-22:29)</li><li>The Podcast in Other Languages (22:29-30:03)</li><li>Hearing From Listeners, Plus Jon and Tim on What Motivates Them (30:03-44:15)</li></ol>OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPT<a href="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/tbp-web/media/500th%20Episode%20Special%20Feature%20Transcript.pdf">View this episode’s official transcript</a>.REFERENCED RESOURCES<ul><li><a href="https://bibleproject.com/videos/heaven-and-earth/">Heaven & Earth video</a></li><li><a href="https://bibleproject.com/videos/torah-genesis-1/">Genesis 1-11 video</a></li><li><a href="https://bibleproject.com/videos/torah-genesis-2/">Genesis 12-50 video</a></li><li><a href="https://bibleproject.com/videos/messiah/">The Messiah video</a></li><li><a href="https://bibleproject.com/podcasts/series/the-law-series/">The Law podcast series</a></li><li><a href="https://bibleproject.com/podcasts/god-and-money-re-release/">God and Money podcast episode</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/1YD__DCKb7o?si=nuDdxxyQuU_QGrNs">Revelation Premiere live event</a></li><li><a href="https://proyectobiblia.com/podcasts/bibleproject-espanol/">Proyecto Biblia Pódcast (Spanish localized podcast)</a></li><li>Japanese localized podcast (<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/%E8%81%96%E6%9B%B8%E3%83%97%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B8%E3%82%A7%E3%82%AF%E3%83%88-bibleproject/id1739444319">Apple</a> | <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2ae5Lc9z0Uvo0uEIYNEICT">Spotify</a>)</li></ul>SHOW MUSIC<ul><li>“The Way Forward” by Richie Kohan</li><li>“Selah ft.
