The following three websites are great sources of Christian, biblical teaching. They vary in technical depth, so I’ve included a brief description of each below that will let you know what you are in for. The two requirements for the websites to be included on this list were: a large majority of the content on the website is free to access and the content is based on the Bible.

1. BibleProject

Formally The Bible Project and now known as just BibleProject, this website is a non-profit animation studio that produces Short animated videos that quickly and clearly explain the key concepts and themes in the Bible. My favourite series is where they create a drawn animation for each book of the Bible that explains what the book is about called Read Scripture. They are handy when you need to get a quick overview of the context of a book. These videos are highly accessible and could be watched by people of any age. They also put out a podcast which is a long-form conversation through which they plan the shorter videos and discuss the content in much more depth.

Some of the BibleProject’s newest content is videos which are much more academic and structured like a university/college curriculum called Classroom by BibleProject. At the moment they have two courses ‘Introduction to the Hebrew Bible’ and ‘Heaven and Earth’. To complete each course requires a commitment of just under 20 hours, but they can be completed at one’s own pace. These are quite academic and do require a level of thinking that may not be required for lighter, devotional and or pastoral content, but content that gets you thinking might be just what you need.

2. Desiring God

Led by John Piper, Desiring God is a treasure trove of free content. It has videos and podcasts that start from being quite devotional and application focused, all the way to more in-depth bible passage and word studies. The podcast ‘Ask Pastor John‘ has over 1600 episodes, where John Piper answers questions that are submitted by listeners. The questions range from controversial biblical topics to difficult pastoral needs. Another interesting thing produced by desiring God is the ‘Look at the Book’ video series. In each of these episodes, John Piper goes through a passage in the Bible, explaining connections to other parts of the Bible, and helping the viewer to understand difficult or unfamiliar concepts.

Another great thing desiring God has to offer is a wide selection of e-books written by John Piper and other well-known Christian authors. Nearly all of the books on the website are free to download and read in DRM free format.

3. The Naked Bible

If you are looking for content that goes really deep into the Bible, theology and the Bible’s context in the ancient Middle East, check out The Naked Bible podcast. The topics that have been covered in the over 350 episodes range from baptism to the Old Testament in Revelation. Dr Michael Heiser is a Bible scholar who specialises in the study of the supernatural in the Bible. Each topic is thoroughly researched but presented in an easy to understand and approachable manner. Some of the things he discusses and the arguments he puts forth sounds quite shocking if you grew up with more naturalistic teachings of the Bible, but everything he discusses is based firmly in scripture.
