*** About Magnified ***

Magnified is a series of quick, fun, and educational videos on biblical concepts. We want this show to be a tool for carefully examining the Bible and revealing the truth inside. We also want to "magnify God with thanksgiving” (Psalm 69:30), because when we magnify our understanding of God, we magnify God Himself. Everybody wins!
