The Bible isn't just a book—it's a library. In this episode, we look at what the Bible is, really, why it matters, and how it’s organized.

Spoiler: it’s way more interesting than you think! 😜

✅ Episode 1 Covers:

🧡 What is the Bible all about, really—and why it’s not just one book

🧡 Why it’s still the best-selling book of all time (5 billion+ copies and counting!)

🧡 How the Old Testament sets the stage and the New Testament shifts the focus

🧡 What biblical genres are and why they matter when you read

🧡 A peek into the history of the Bible—how scrolls became Scripture

🧡 Why this ancient book still stirs hearts, sparks questions, and shows up in hotel nightstands

✅ Listener Takeaway:

You don’t need to read the Bible cover to cover to get something out of it.

Whether you're curious, skeptical, or spiritually hungry, the Bible still speaks to the big questions—who we are, why we’re here, and whether there’s something bigger out there.

Welcome, friend! 🧡🖤🧡

Bible study for beginners has never been this fun—or this free from brimstone!

Welcome to Bible Basics Without the Brimstone—the Christian podcast where Sunday School nostalgia meets grown-up questions, and where understanding the Bible doesn’t require a theology degree.

I’m Catherine Sparrow, a writer and podcast host helping beginners learn about Christianity and the Bible.  

Each episode uses plain English and respectful Christian comedy to break down timeless Biblical topics like:

✔  What does the Bible say about Heaven?
✔  What is the Holy Spirit?
✔  What does it mean to Repent?
✔  Why does God let bad things happen?

We look at interesting facts about the Holy Bible, such as:

✔  Is the Bible true?
✔  Why was the Bible written?
✔  Who wrote the Bible and when was it written?
✔  What is the shortest verse in the Holy Bible?

We explore curious questions, big theological ideas, and real-life issues—always with biblical accuracy and a light-hearted twist.

Whether you’re a curious beginner, a disillusioned Christian struggling with faith, or someone who just wants to smile as you learn the Bible—you’re welcome here. 

✝︎ No brimstone. 

✝︎ Minimal jargon. 

Just honest questions, good theology, and maybe the occasional musing about how Noah managed to fit all the animals in the ark!

So, friend. Dust off your Bibles or download your favorite Bible app! 

Let's explore the Word together, one gentle question at a time.
