In this episode of Bad Catholic, Trisha shares how she started reading the Bible on a whim after an unexpected moment at a bookstore—right where God placed it, front and center. Now she’s wondering, “Am I doing this right?” She brings these questions to her dad, Deacon David, and together they explore how Catholics can approach scripture with curiosity and faith. 

David dives into the Bible’s rich, layered history and what it means to read scripture as a Catholic—not just as a literal story, but as a guide to discovering God’s presence in every chapter and in everyday life. They tackle questions about which books to start with, how to interpret confusing passages, and the meaning behind some memorable Bible stories (why did Pharaoh wait to get rid of those frogs, anyway?).

With humor and heart, Trish and David invite you into a relatable conversation that captures the journey of finding God in both scripture and life’s little moments. Whether you're a seasoned reader or just starting out, this episode encourages you to see the Bible—and the world—through eyes wide open to grace.
