Hello I am Marcus Onate and I am the host of the Legacy Bible Podcast. This podcast is a project that I have Wanted to do for a long time, but I did not have content to use for a podcast, so when the pastor came to me and asked if I could help them with their tape archive the first thing that came to mind was how about use them for a podcast. even tho pastor Rains did not know what a podcast was he said yes and the Legacy Bible Podcast was born.
It is my goal to use the tapes that have been recorded at the Fellowship Bible Church to reach the world with the message of the Bible.
I hope you get something from these lessons and share them with the people you know so that the legacy of the Bible will be something that you can pass down to your family and friends.
