0:00.0	What if you love Jesus? But you're not really sure that you love the Bible. In fact, you're not even sure what you think of Jesus anymore because the Bible's become such a slog for you
0:21.6	because of what other people have said. Well, we have an amazing life-giving discussion with you today
0:27.5	on the Bear Marriage podcast. I'm Sheila Ray Gregor from Bearmarriage.com when we like to talk about
0:31.8	healthy evidence-based biblical advice for your sex life and your marriage. And today I am so excited
0:36.5	to be bringing a wonderful
0:38.1	interview to you by Zach Lambert, the author of a new book, Better Ways to Read the Bible.
0:43.7	And this one, you know, when I read this book, I cried. It really, really affected me
0:48.5	because I just needed to hear this. You know, for a couple of years, sometimes when I look at the Bible, I feel bogged down by it
0:56.7	because of how so many people have distorted it. And I've had to fight through that. And I knew a lot of
1:02.8	the stuff, Zach saying, but he just said it in such a beautiful way. And I know this book is going to help you. So get
1:07.2	ready for that interview. But before we turn to it, like and subscribe, wherever
1:11.9	you are listening to this, whether it is on Spotify, whether it's on YouTube, wherever you are
1:18.0	listening to this, please like and subscribe to this podcast. Because when you do that, you tell the
1:22.1	algorithm, hey, this is good stuff. And then other people see it. It helps us immensely. And now,
1:27.4	without further ado,
1:28.7	here's my interview with Zach. I am so excited to talk about this book. I am being joined today by
1:35.0	Zach Lambert, who I have followed for a long time on social media. And this is our first time
1:38.9	meeting, kind of. That's true. Yes. And I have also followed you for a long time on social media
1:43.6	and have benefited so much from your work, your writing, bear marriage, all the things. So it's an honor to be with you, Sheila.
1:50.0	Yeah. I like doing interviews and actually meeting people, but it makes me feel like, oh, maybe this social media thing is actually real in a way.
1:57.3	That's right. And not all bad, some bad, mostly bad, but not all bad. No, I've met some amazing people. And it all bad, some bad, mostly bad even, but not all bad. No, I've met some
2:02.8	amazing people. And it's honestly, it's, it's open my eyes to so many things. And I've made
