    EP 80: Special Episode: Bible Reading for Beginners

    This episode is a very special one. In September, I shared on my Instagram stories that if anyone would like to know Jesus and does not have a Bible, that I would like to send them one for free. The response was incredible and hundreds of people received Bibles. Once Bibles were received, many, many questions rolled in about how to start reading the Bible. Where do they start? Do you read it front to back? What version of the Bible is easier to understand? How much should I read? And many, many more questions. In an effort to answer these questions, I asked my Pastor, Pastor Patrick Allen, to come on the podcast and answer many of these questions for you all. If you have more questions, please ask them!
