How reimagining biblical translation can open the door to healing, spiritual restoration, and a deeper understanding of God’s inclusive nature. As co-host Bonnie Lewis steps away from Voxology to launch the new Timshal Podcast, she shares her journey of authoring the groundbreaking idiomatic Bible translation "Timshal," releasing a new series diving into biblical stories with theological, literary, and psychological depth.

In this episode, Mike, Tim, and Bonnie celebrate a season of growth while sharing reflections on how creative reinterpretation of sacred texts—especially through the lens of the marginalized and the divine feminine—restores power, voice, and belonging to those long omitted from the evangelical tradition.

Key Takeaways: • A New Way to Engage Scripture – How “Timshal” blends historical context, psychological insight, and narrative storytelling to revitalize familiar Bible stories and elevate voices often left out. • The Power of Calling It a Translation – Why naming the project a “translation” affirms the text is for everyone, reclaiming access to Scripture for those excluded by religious gatekeeping. • God Beyond Gender – Exploring how feminine metaphors for God found in Ezekiel 37 and other texts restore balance to the deeply masculine-dominated theological narrative. • The Birth of the Timshal Podcast – Behind-the-scenes insights into Bonnie’s new show featuring conversations around each chapter of the book, exploring translation choices, creativity, and emotional impact. • Radical Wellness and Embodiment – How Bonnie’s work with Radical Wellness interweaves emotional healing and spiritual reconstruction, especially for women exploring the divine feminine.

Guest Highlights: Bonnie Lewis – Author of “Timshal: An Idiomatic Bible Translation,” spiritual coach, and departing Voxology co-host. Bonnie opens up about tackling criticism, staying true to the Spirit of Scripture, and empowering others to rediscover faith through a lens of empathy and inclusion.
