Unscrolled | Episode 44: Bringing the Bible to Life: The Story Behind the Logos Theater Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

Some stories are bigger than the stage they're told on. Before they had any children, Nicole Stratton’s parents started a ministry. In her words, it was their first baby. More than 50 years later, that ministry is bringing the Bible to life onstage.

In this very special episode of “Unscrolled,” we’re coming to you from the World Stage Theater at Museum of the Bible. Noah and Nicole Stratton share the story behind the Logos Theater: a ministry begun in 1971 on faith alone, and the family that grew it into full-scale productions of C. S. Lewis's Narnia classics.

Unscrolled | Episode 42: A Look Back: Revival, Reason, and the Megiddo Mosaic Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

This week, we’re featuring a special recap episode highlighting some of our most memorable conversations. Andy Steiger and Wes Huff of Apologetics Canada discuss why many people, especially younger generations, are becoming increasingly open to spirituality as they search for deeper answers about meaning, purpose, and human value. They explore how the Bible provides both a historical foundation and a framework for understanding ethics, identity, and truth.

Next, host Matthias sits down with Dr. Bobby Duke, chief curatorial officer of Museum of the Bible, to examine the significance of the Megiddo Mosaic, an archaeological discovery from one of the earliest known Christian worship spaces. Together, they unpack what this remarkable find reveals about the beliefs, practices, and community life of some of Christianity’s earliest followers.

Finally, Pastors Tim Timberlake and Philip Anthony Mitchell of the Street Preachers podcast share their perspective on a growing global revival movement, arguing that genuine spiritual renewal is being fueled not by church-growth strategies or personalities, but by prayer, biblical proclamation, authentic worship, and discipleship.
