Summary

In today’s episode, Aaron chats with author and Bible teacher Zach Windahl about faith, family, and biblical literacy. They dive into Zach’s personal journey—from wrestling with doubt during college to embracing a deeper understanding of Scripture. The conversation explores the power of homeschooling, the value of entrepreneurship in raising kids, and how reading the Bible in context transforms lives. Zach shares insights from his new book The Bible Simplified and offers encouragement for families to make God’s Word central in their homes.

Key Takeaways:

  • Zach’s early faith was shaped by his mom’s perseverance through health challenges.
  • College brought doubts, revealing how environment can influence belief.
  • Homeschooling provides freedom to blend education with faith.
  • Teaching kids to think critically—and entrepreneurially—is essential.
  • Reading the Bible aloud can deepen both understanding and belief.
  • Context is key: knowing the Bible’s background brings clarity and meaning.
  • Many Christians haven’t read the entire Bible—and they’re missing out.
  • Families are encouraged to grow together in Scripture and prayer.
