The Bible has been a bestseller for millennia, yet learning about Christianity can feel daunting. I felt the same way. So, as I asked questions, I hit "Record."

Each episode unpacks Scripture with theologians, breaking down passages, parables, and prophecies to make the Bible relatable and easy to understand. If you're looking to grow in faith with real insights and a fresh perspective, this podcast is your guide to understanding God's Word simply and meaningfully.

Dr. Robert Holmstedt—professor of Hebrew Bible and Semitic

Languages at the University of Toronto. He holds a PhD in Hebrew and Semitic Studies

from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, with a minor in generative linguistics. Before

that, he earned his BA in biblical studies from Wheaton College.”

“He’s taught everything from ancient Hebrew to general linguistics, and his passion is

bringing theoretical and linguistic clarity to how we read the Hebrew Bible—especially

texts we tend to overlook or misunderstand.”

“And when he’s not decoding ancient Hebrew texts, he’s a father of nine and likes to

build things in his shop.
