New'Brew Episodes
Join our guides, Tony and Charmaine Chvala-Smith — along with host Karin Peter (the self-proclaimed snarky one) — for an adventure through the provocative, complex, ancient, humorous, and sometimes uncomfortable yet revelatory texts of the early Christian church.
In New’Brew, we explain, explore, and experience the New Testament — its stories, teachings, tensions, and transformational moments — all through honest conversation, theological insight, and just the right amount of wit.
Looking for more?
· He’Brew dives into the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) with the same lively curiosity.
· She’Brew explores the voices and presence of women across both the Old and New Testaments.
Whether you're a longtime Bible reader or just beginning to engage with scripture, pull up a chair — there's always room at the table.
