This week on The Collected Podcast, Jes welcomes Amanda Hope Haley—archaeologist, theologian, and author of Stones Still Speak—for a rich conversation that bridges ancient history with modern faith. With warmth and insight, Amanda invites us to explore the layers of meaning behind the biblical text and discover how historical context can illuminate timeless truths. She explains how archaeology doesn’t aim to prove the Bible, but to illuminate it—revealing God’s tender-hearted nature, His desire to be known, and His preparation of ordinary people for extraordinary callings. It’s a rich, thoughtful dialogue that encourages us to hold Scripture higher than our interpretations and to embrace the questions that lead us deeper into truth.
