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.

Amanda shares how archaeology helps us understand Scripture more clearly, not less. We talk about David and Goliath (and why the “giant” might not be what you think), Mary Magdalene’s misunderstood reputation, and how years of human interpretation sometimes overshadow the actual text.

But here’s the beautiful part: leaning into the hard questions doesn’t weaken faith — it strengthens it.

This episode will challenge you, inspire you, and deepen your confidence in God’s Word.

And remember, I'd love to connect more on Instagram, where you'll find me at @donnaajones. And don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss a single episode!

Xo,

Donna
