Written and Read is a Bible teaching podcast built around one simple conviction: God wrote His Word to be read, understood, and applied. Every episode, co-host McKenzie Fleming brings the questions, the kind real people actually ask, and pastor, teacher, and author Dr. Robert C. Crowder opens the King James Bible and lets the text speak for itself. No opinion pieces. No cultural commentary. No celebrity guests. Just an honest question and a straight answer from the Word of God. Dr. Crowder's conviction is straightforward: the Bible is the Word of God, given to be understood, not just read. Every episode is built to help you do exactly that. Written and Read is for the lifelong Bible student and the brand-new believer alike, anyone who has ever wanted to sit down with their Bible and ask questions they have always wanted to ask as a means of understanding what they're reading.

  1. Episode 1

    S3E1 - Aaron

    God called Aaron to serve beside Moses and later entrusted him with Israel’s priesthood. His life demonstrates that God can accomplish His purposes through an imperfect servant while still taking both holiness and failure seriously. Episode Aim: To help listeners see Aaron as more than Moses’ brother or the man associated with the golden calf. Scripture presents him as a man specifically called by God, gifted for service, entrusted with sacred responsibility, capable of serious failure, subject to divine discipline, and nevertheless used within God’s purposes for Israel. Primary Scriptures: Exodus 4:10–16, 27–31; Exodus 28:1–3; Numbers 16:46–48 Supporting Scriptures: Exodus 7:1–2; Exodus 17:8–13; Exodus 24:1–14; Exodus 32:1–6, 21–24; Leviticus 8:1–12; Leviticus 10:1–3; Numbers 12:1–11; Numbers 20:7–12, 22–29; Deuteronomy 9:20

  2. Episode 2

    S3E2 - Caleb

    Central Biblical Idea: Caleb believed that God was able to do what He had promised when nearly everyone around him saw only the obstacles. Scripture repeatedly describes him as a man who “wholly followed the LORD,” demonstrating a faith that trusted God in the face of opposition and continued trusting Him across decades of waiting. Episode Aim: To help listeners see Caleb not simply as one of the two faithful spies, but as a man whose confidence in God remained consistent from Kadesh-barnea to Hebron. Caleb trusted God when the majority opposed him, lived through the consequences of their unbelief without abandoning his own confidence in God, waited decades for the inheritance God had promised him, and at approximately eighty-five years of age was still prepared to possess what God had given him. Primary Scriptures: Numbers 13:1–3, 17–33; Numbers 14:1–10, 20–24; Joshua 14:6–14 Supporting Scriptures: Numbers 14:26–38; Numbers 26:63–65; Numbers 32:10–12; Deuteronomy 1:19–40; Joshua 15:13–14

  3. Episode 3

    S3, E3 - Rahab

    Central Biblical Idea: Rahab heard what the LORD had done for Israel, believed that He alone was God, and acted upon that belief. Her story demonstrates that faith takes God at His word and that His grace can reach a person whose background and circumstances might seem to place her beyond hope. Episode Aim: To help listeners see Rahab as Scripture presents her: a Canaanite woman living in Jericho, a woman identified honestly by her sinful past, yet one who heard of the works of Israel’s God, confessed who He was, protected the Israelite spies, and trusted His promise of deliverance. Her story moves from a city awaiting judgment to a place among the people of God and ultimately into the genealogy of Jesus Christ. Primary Scriptures: Joshua 2:1–24; Joshua 6:15–25 Supporting Scriptures: Exodus 15:13–16; Deuteronomy 7:1–6; Joshua 1:1–9; Hebrews 11:31; James 2:25; Matthew 1:5

  4. Episode 4

    S3, E4 - Deborah

    Central Biblical Idea: During a period of oppression and spiritual disorder in Israel, God used Deborah as a prophetess and judge to communicate His word, summon Barak to obedience, and help lead Israel toward deliverance. The victory, however, belonged to the LORD, who worked through Deborah, Barak, Jael, and those who willingly offered themselves for His purpose. Episode Aim: To allow Judges 4 and 5 to define Deborah rather than making her a symbol for questions the passage was not written to answer. Scripture presents her as a prophetess, a judge in Israel, a woman through whom God communicated His command to Barak, and one who willingly served during troubled days. Her story demonstrates that God was still at work in Israel even during the recurring failure that characterized the period of the judges. Primary Scriptures: Judges 4:1–24; Judges 5:1–9, 24–31 Supporting Scriptures: Judges 2:11–23; Judges 3:7–11; Hebrews 11:32–34

  5. Episode 5

    S3, E5 - Gideon

    Central Biblical Idea: God called Gideon during a time of national oppression, patiently confirmed His word to him, deliberately reduced Israel’s army so that the victory could not be credited to human strength, and used Gideon to defeat Midian. Yet Gideon’s later choices remind us that being used by God does not remove the need for continued faithfulness. Episode Aim: To help listeners see Gideon as Scripture presents him: a fearful and questioning man called by God, strengthened through divine assurance, used in a victory designed to magnify the LORD rather than human ability, and later capable of decisions that complicated the legacy of his leadership. Gideon’s life demonstrates both the patience of God with a hesitant servant and the danger of assuming that past usefulness guarantees future faithfulness. Primary Scriptures: Judges 6:1–40; Judges 7:1–25; Judges 8:22–35 Supporting Scriptures: Judges 2:11–23; Judges 5:31; Judges 8:1–21; Hebrews 11:32–34
