LOS ANGELES, Aug. 24, 2023 – Pray.com, the No. 1 app for prayer and faith-based audio and video streaming content, is thrilled to announce the launch of “Heroes in the Bible” with Dr. Tony Evans, focused on the life of King David. This new series is sponsored by America's Christian Credit Union (ACCU) which, since 1958, has provided banking services to churches, ministries, Christian schools and individuals who belong to these Gospel-centric organizations.
Not only does this podcast walk through the lives of impactful biblical characters, but it also inspires listeners to consider how the lessons from their stories can be applied to our present-day circumstances. The first episode of the series, “Chapter 1: A Rejected God,” lays the foundation for the series, beginning with Saul, the first king of Israel. Further episodes introduce David’s humble beginnings and follow through to his eventual ascension as king. New episodes release weekly beginning this month, with 30 episodes planned.
This series focuses on the extraordinary character hidden within ordinary people, reminding listeners that the same God who strengthened His people back then is the same God who exists and strengthens us today. Dr. Tony Evans shares these incredible experiences through cinematic storytelling that will captivate listeners with the transformative power of the Bible.
“When you understand that the greatness of God affects our ability to handle the ‘giants of life,’ it will encourage, inspire and challenge all of us to our faith in God and our growth in Jesus Christ,” said series host Dr. Evans. “David’s story is one that should, can and will equip every believer to understand that the giants we face don’t have to have the last word in our lives.”
Recognized as one of the country’s most respected leaders in evangelical circles, Dr. Evans is a pastor, teacher, author and speaker, serving the body of Christ through his unique ability to communicate complex theological truths using simple, yet profound, illustrations. New and veteran pastors alike regard him as a pastor of pastors and a father in the faith. “I’m excited to have [listeners] join me on this new podcast, ‘Heroes in the Bible,’” Dr. Evans added.
