This episode of Fed by the Fruit is your ultimate beginner’s guide to understanding and reading the Bible. We explore what the Bible actually is — a collection of 66 books written by 40 authors over 1,500 years — and how it tells the story of God’s relationship with humanity. You’ll learn about the Old Testament and New Testament, the historical context of their writings, and how the books are organized into law, history, poetry, prophecy, and letters. We also talk about the Bible’s three main literary styles — narrative, poetry, and discourse — and why context is critical when you read.

It also gives you practical, actionable tips to make Bible study approachable and life-giving. From praying before you open Scripture, to reading in context, to using tools like the Bible Recap to follow a chronological reading plan, you’ll discover how to develop a daily habit of engaging with God’s Word. If you’ve ever felt intimidated, confused, or overwhelmed by the Bible, this episode will help you grow from a believer into a follower — deepening your faith and understanding of God’s story and your place in it.
