Summary

Do you long to go deeper in your faith and help your children fall in love with Scripture — not just the stories, but the whole story?

Today Zach Windahl shares what led him to dedicate years to studying scripture. He emphasizes the importance of simplifying the Bible for others, particularly for those who feel overwhelmed or confused. After moving to Australia and enrolling in a transformative Bible study program, everything changed. He discovered how the entire Bible connects — from Genesis to Revelation — and how understanding Scripture through a Hebrew lens opens up a whole new depth of meaning. The Bible isn’t random. Every story, every verse, every command points to Jesus. Here is some of what we cover:

Why modeling your faith matters more than preaching to your kids
The difference between a Greek vs. Hebrew mindset when reading Scripture
What to do when Christian culture and actual Jesus living don’t align

0:00.0	Hey, y'all, welcome back to the Don't Mom Alone podcast.
0:10.2	I'm your host, Heather McFadion, and this is the place where I get to walk alongside you
0:14.6	and connect you with people and resources so you know that you don't mom alone.
0:19.7	And in this episode number 530, I'm welcoming to the show, my new friend, Zach Windall.
0:26.4	To be a disciple, you would get the dust of your rabbi on you.
0:30.4	And so it just meant that the disciples would follow so close behind their rabbi
0:35.1	that they would like live and work and eat and sleep and listen to
0:40.8	and talk and try to mimic and become who their rabbi is. And for us today, discipleship is like,
0:47.7	you can go to three classes and learn about our church. And it's like, no, that's not what
0:53.3	discipleship is supposed to be. It's supposed to be
0:55.2	like fully submerged. Like, okay, if Jesus is your rabbi, you need to change the way that you
1:01.0	are to become a reflection of him, and which is beautiful and it's amazing. I first met Zach

1:32.6	read through the Bible for yourself. He even has a great resource, The Bible Study, and then

1:42.3	He's basically taken his passion for entrepreneurship
1:44.8	and making faith simple. You notice in all his titles, very simple. And it's put him in this
1:50.7	unique place where he's reaching hundreds of thousands of followers on social media every day.
