In the Beginning
The History of Bible Book Club
Bible Book Club is a weekly, chapter-by-chapter Bible podcast. Join Heather Rubio and Susan Merrill as they read and explore every word of the Bible for you. From Genesis on, each season dives into a different book, offering insights and discussions on the only book that can change your life forever. A new episode drops every Monday.
The Team
Co-Host
Susan Merrill
If one word had to describe Susan, it'd be teacher. Bible Book Club exists because of her lifelong love of learning. What started as a small group of young professional women wanting to study a book of the Bible together turned into Susan reading Scripture aloud every morning at 7am, then teaching on it once a week, and eventually, at Heather and Hayley's urging, into a podcast. She's a wife to Mark, mom to five grown kids, grandmother to three, and a full-time marketing and programs officer at Family First (a full life, in other words). Give her any spare moment and she'll spend it pondering something; she's never met a question she didn't want to sit with a little longer.
I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it.
Co-Host
Heather Rubio
Wife, mom to two teenagers, and an advertising and marketing executive by day, Heather is the other half of the Bible Book Club conversation: the one asking the follow-up question, pushing a little deeper into whatever Susan just said. Long before it was a podcast, Bible Book Club was just Susan reading Scripture aloud to a small group every morning, until Heather looked at what she was doing and said, this is a podcast. That nudge is the reason the show exists today, and Heather's brought the same energy to it ever since. She shows up to record fully put-together, hair, makeup, the works, for a podcast nobody can actually see. And she's never met a stranger: that same warmth, the kind that turns a checkout line into a real conversation, is exactly what makes her such a compelling co-host.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Producer
Hayley Mowatt
Hayley is the quiet force keeping Bible Book Club running — nudging Susan back to her deadlines, cheering Reed on through a new graphic concept, or hyping Buck up for another round of editing Heather's attempts at a genealogy. She'll tell you she's just keeping the trains on schedule. Everyone else will tell you she's the reason there's a schedule at all. Wife and mom of two.
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Editor
Buck Buchanan
Seminary-trained with a voice made for radio, Buck is the reason Susan and Heather always sound their best — even when a tricky Old Testament name trips them up mid-recording. Equal parts detail-obsessed and fun-loving (ADHD keeps things interesting), he's the quiet craftsman making sure every episode sounds as good as the message inside it. Husband and dad of two.
For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.
Graphic Designer
Reed Richardson
A Nashville native who's been with Bible Book Club since episode one, Reed is the artist behind the show's entire visual identity. Hand her a book of the Bible and she'll hand you back a color and a texture that feels like it was always meant to go with it. If a season has a color and a face, it's because Reed gave it one.
My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.
From Listeners
What Listeners Are Saying
“Buy two of her books—one for you and your best friend...”
Dr. Dennis Rainey
“Like the Merrill’s, my wife, Debbie, and I have five children. We know what it is like to ask the question, “am I doing this right?” when it comes to raising your kids. Susan Merrill has a sincere passion to help mothers.”
Michael W. Smith
“As I have journeyed and fumbled my way through motherhood, there are few seasoned moms I have met along the way that I would love to sit for hours over coffee to engage in honest, authentic dialogue about the struggle to do what it takes to be passionate, loving moms. Susan Merrill is one of those rare and real women.”
