# About BEMA Podcast Explorer

BEMA Podcast Explorer is an independent, noncommercial search and discovery project maintained in Austin, Texas by [John Philip Morgan](https://github.com/jpamorgan). It is not an official BEMA Discipleship product and does not claim ownership of the podcast, episode audio, show notes, or transcripts.

The explorer builds a deterministic catalog from the public BEMA RSS and JSON feeds. It helps listeners find episodes by number, title, description, topic, guest, biblical text, session, and show-note content while preserving links to official BEMA pages, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and transcript sources. Developers and agents can use the same data through the [free public API and MCP server](https://bema.jpamorgan.com/developers).

Visit [BEMA Discipleship](https://www.bemadiscipleship.com/) for the official podcast, community, resources, and ministry information. The explorer's canonical source repository is private and requires repository access; public integration guidance and deployed machine-readable artifacts are available through the [BEMA developer portal](https://bema.jpamorgan.com/developers).
