Relationship Built Through Reading Scripture


Listen Later

Zach teaches on how to read the Bible and, more importantly, how to ask the right questions when engaging with it. He explains that the Bible was written by around 40–44 authors over a span of roughly 1,500 years, and that each author intentionally chose what to include and what to leave out.

Using the story of Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, Zach highlights how to focus on what the author is actually trying to communicate. Rather than getting caught up in secondary questions—like why the serpent was talking, where Adam was, or whether the fault lies more with Eve or Adam—he emphasizes the central message: the promise of an offspring who will ultimately triumph over Satan.

While the Bible is rich and multilayered, Zach stresses the importance of placing emphasis on the right themes throughout Scripture. Doing so helps build a right understanding of God, leading to deeper trust and intimacy with Him, as He desires for us to truly know Him and live in unity with Him.
