Sweet Sycamore
Sometimes all it takes is a fresh perspective to experience Jesus in a new way. Zacchaeus thought he was the one searching when he climbed up the sycamore tree—but it was really Jesus who was seeking him.
Welcome to Sweet Sycamore, hosted by me, Nicole Dickey. With a master’s in theology and a passion for uncovering the historical context of Scripture, I love helping the Bible come alive in a fresh and meaningful way. Rather than opinions and guest conversations, this podcast offers a devotional space to dive deep into God’s Word. So come along—as we climb a little higher, shift our perspective, and encounter the timeless truth of Scripture in a new way.
