Why in the Word? | A Behind the Scenes Recap of Season 1

Why in the Word, the title of this episode of What in the Word, a behind the scenes interview with Kirk E. Miller and Matt Barrios.

What in the Word? wraps up a rich and thought-provoking first season. In this special finale, host Kirk E. Miller turns the mic on himself, as Matt Barrios, the show’s producer, leads a reflective interview covering lessons learned, favorite passages, surprising insights, and behind-the-scenes moments.

From tackling tough texts like Genesis 6, 1 Corinthians 15, and the Canaanite conquest to unforgettable interviews with scholars like Carmen Joy Imes, Lynn Cohick, and Mike Horton, this recap offers a meaningful look back—and a peek forward at what’s to come in Season 2.
