Why bother reading the Bible? Reading it with fascination and humor

Send us Fan MailSometime in your life, you give up on just believing what your parents told you. You discover God or not for yourself. Usually in your teens, you start taking it seriously. Some teens really want to get involved in faith and other don't. I started this podcast to help you discover the Bible for yourself. I am fascinated with the Bible. Some stories are terrible. Some stories are comforting. Most stories are just weird. In this episode, I introduce myself "Real Bible Rob" and why I think a fresh new way to look at faith can help you to be fascinated with the stories like I am. The most important thing to know is that a lot of people teach the Bible in a fearful way. This almost always comes from people who don't know what the Bible really says. They think the Bible is magical and frightening, especially if you disagree with it or you don't believe everything it says. Instead, smart people know that's not the way it works. I hope I can help you see this in a fresh new way. To show you how this works, I tell you about the story about Jesus healing the Blind Man. Even if you've heard it before, it's much more fun that most people realize. I also recommend the best Study Bible for teens to own.
