Welcome to the Coram Deo Podcast
New here? You've found your people. Coram Deo is where serious believers come to go deeper — into Scripture, into history, into the presence of God.
Coram Deo
What Does It Mean to Live Coram Deo?
David Lamanna has traveled the world, stood at the sites where Scripture unfolded, read the accounts of Christians who paid with their lives, and studied the ancient texts that scholars spend careers trying to understand. He is a passionate student of biblical archaeology, a reader of church history, and a co-host of the Thriving in the Word podcast. On Coram Deo, he brings all of it together — not to impress you with knowledge, but to hand you a faith you can actually stand on. This isn't a podcast about comfortable Christianity. It's about the real God, the real story, and the real cost of following Jesus. If you're ready to go deeper, you're in the right place.
Scripture Depth
Every episode is built on the text — not commentary about the text. David brings a deep Bible teaching approach that holds the Word up to its original language, its historical setting, and its claim on your life right now. This is the Bible study podcast that doesn't cut corners.
Biblical Archeology
From archaeological digs that confirm the biblical record to the stories of martyrs who refused to recant, Coram Deo connects you to 2,000 years of faith. History isn't background noise here, it's evidence. It's proof that the story is real, and you're part of it. Join us as we dig deep into Scripture.
Real-World Faith
Scholarship without application is just academia. Every Coram Deo episode lands somewhere you can take home — a conviction to act on, a question worth sitting with, a truth worth defending. This is a Christian podcast for people who want their faith to change how they actually live.
You’re always welcome here.

What does "Coram Deo" mean?
Coram Deo is a Latin phrase meaning “in the presence of God.”It’s a theological concept rooted in the idea that all of life — every question, every discovery,every moment of doubt or faith — is lived before the face of a God who is present, attentive, andactive. That’s not just the name of this podcast. It’s the conviction behind every episode.
Who is David Lamanna?
David Lamanna is a Bible scholar, world traveler, and lifelong student of Christian history and biblical archaeology. He’s read the accounts of martyrs, stood at sites where Scripture unfolded, studied ancient texts, and wrestled with the hard questions of faith for decades. He also co-hosts the Thriving in the Word podcast. On Coram Deo, he brings all of that experience into focused, in-depth conversations about the Bible, history, and what it means to follow Jesus in the real world.
What topics does Coram Deo cover?
Every episode digs into one or more of three core areas: deep Bible teaching rooted in the original languages and historical context, biblical archaeology and the physical evidence that confirms the scriptural record, and church history — including the stories of believers who suffered, endured, and passed the faith on to us. Expect references to thinkers like C.S. Lewis, books like Tortured for Christ, publications like Bible and Spade, and organizations like Voice of the Martyrs.
Is this podcast for beginners or experienced believers?
Both — but it’s built for people who are hungry. If you’re new to deep Bible study, Coram Deo will give you a foundation that most Sunday sermons never get to. If you’ve been walking with God for decades, you’ll find content that still challenges and stretches you. The goal is never to show off knowledge — it’s to hand you a faith you can actually stand on.
