Description

Word for Word: The Bible is a simple invitation to read the Bible from beginning to end — carefully, faithfully, and without shortcuts. For the first time, I’m reading the Bible cover to cover, in canonical order from Genesis to Revelation, and inviting others to join me in the journey. This podcast isn’t a sermon, a debate, or a commentary. It’s a daily practice of slowing down, paying attention, and allowing Scripture to speak for itself. Each episode follows a steady, consistent rhythm. We begin with a brief introduction and a prayer for understanding, then read the Scripture itself. After the reading, there’s a short reflection and a closing prayer. There’s no pressure to keep up and no expectation of expertise. Some days will be clear. Some days will be difficult. The goal isn’t mastery — it’s faithfulness. Whether you’ve never read the Bible before, have tried and stopped, or simply want a structured way to read alongside someone else, this is an invitation to read the text as it is — word for word.
