A daily Bible podcast is continuing its strong performance on Apple Podcasts, underscoring what appears to be a sustained resurgence of interest in Scripture-based content.
The podcast, The Bible Recap, recently climbed into Apple’s top 10 Religion and Spirituality podcast rankings for the third consecutive year, as reported by Fox News. The program is created and hosted by Tara-Leigh Cobble, a Bible teacher and author who launched the project to help listeners better understand Scripture through brief, daily explanations.
According to the report, the podcast is structured around a chronological Bible reading plan and is designed to complement daily Scripture reading with episodes that typically run about 10 minutes. The goal is to provide clarity and context for readers who may struggle to understand what they have just read, rather than offering in-depth theological analysis.

Cobble’s platform extends beyond the podcast and includes a companion book and a YouTube channel, allowing audiences to engage with the material through multiple formats. The program follows the overarching storyline of the Bible and emphasizes understanding the character of God as revealed in each day’s reading.
Fox News reported that the podcast often experiences a surge in listenership at the beginning of the year, driven in part by New Year’s resolutions to read through the Bible. While participation naturally declines as the year progresses, many listeners continue through the reading plan at their own pace. The program allows flexibility, encouraging completion over time rather than adherence to a strict schedule.
The continued chart performance suggests that interest in daily Bible engagement is not limited to seasonal trends but reflects an ongoing demand for accessible faith-based content.
