What exactly is the Torah? More than just the first five books of the Bible, the Torah is the foundation of everything that follows. In this episode, we explore what makes the Torah unique—not just as a set of laws or stories, but as a carefully designed narrative revealing who God is and what He desires for humanity. Understanding the Torah is key to understanding the rest of Scripture, including the gospel. If you've ever felt lost reading the Bible, this episode will help you see where it all begins—and why it matters.

Is the law a burden—or a blessing? In this episode, we unpack one of the biggest misunderstandings in the Bible: the purpose of God’s law. Many people believe the law was given to control or condemn, but what if it was actually meant to protect and preserve a relationship? We explore how the Torah presents the law, not as a list of restrictions, but as a gift rooted in love. Understanding this changes everything—including how we see Jesus. If you've ever wrestled with the Old Testament law, this episode is for you.

Before we dive into the rest of Scripture, we need to ask: Are we starting in the right place? In this episode, we take a step back and look at the first section of the Bible—the Torah—as a whole. Just like understanding the periodic table unlocks the entire field of chemistry, understanding the Torah unlocks the rest of the Bible. Without this foundation, we risk misinterpreting everything else, even the message of Jesus. This isn’t a deep dive into Genesis through Deuteronomy verse by verse. It’s about grasping the purpose and pattern of the Torah so that we can better understand where the Bible is going—and why it starts this way. If you’ve ever felt like the Bible doesn’t make sense or Jesus seems disconnected from the Old Testament, this episode will help you see how it all fits together.

Welcome to Season 2 of The How Do You Read It Podcast. I’m your host, Daniel, and this season we’re turning our attention to what many have overlooked—the Old Testament.

For many Christians, the Old Testament feels irrelevant, confusing, or even contradictory to the New. But what if that assumption is the very reason so many of us feel stuck in our faith?

In this premiere episode, we explore why the Old Testament has been neglected, how that affects our understanding of Jesus, and why reclaiming the first testament might be the key to true transformation. The Old Testament isn’t a separate story—it’s the foundation of everything.

This season is about rediscovering the power, beauty, and purpose of the “forgotten testament.” Because maybe the missing piece of your faith… was there all along.

Welcome to Season 2 of The How Do You Read It Podcast. In this episode, we explore one of the most important but overlooked aspects of Bible reading: defining biblical terms the way Scripture does.

What does the Bible actually mean when it says Scripture, the Word of God, or the Law? Is Paul referring to all 66 books when he says “All Scripture is inspired”? What did Jesus mean when He said the Scriptures testified of Him?

We often bring modern assumptions to ancient texts, but if we want to truly understand the Bible, we must read it on its own terms. In this episode, Daniel walks through how the Bible defines its core concepts, how Jesus used the Old Testament to explain Himself, and why understanding the structure and flow of Scripture changes everything.

If you’ve ever felt like the Old Testament is irrelevant or confusing, this episode will help you see why it’s not just background—it’s the foundation.

What if the law isn’t about your ability to obey—but about God’s ability to keep His promises? In this episode of The How Do You Read It Podcast, Daniel explores a radically different way to understand the law, not as a burden of performance but as a testimony of divine faithfulness. From the covenants made with Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Israel, to the praises of the law in Psalms and the fulfillment through Jesus, this episode unpacks how the Torah reveals a God who always keeps His word. Rather than judging your obedience, the law proves that God is consistent, trustworthy, and committed to redemption. If you've ever struggled with legalism or misunderstood the role of the law in Scripture, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and a renewed love for the Word. The law isn’t a test—it’s a promise. Let’s read it that way.

In this episode, we tackle one of the most important—and often ignored—questions in Bible reading: Why does the Old Testament matter? Many treat it like a background story, something to skim through on the way to Jesus. But the Bible doesn’t work that way. Today, we’re looking at “the argument” the Bible is making from the very beginning, and how the Old Testament builds a case that everything hinges on. This episode is not about abstract theology—it’s about understanding the core conflict introduced in the Torah and how it shapes everything that follows. If we miss this argument, we’ll misunderstand the solution. You’ll see why the Old Testament isn’t just relevant—it’s essential. The story of Jesus doesn’t erase it. It completes it.

Join me as we uncover the foundational argument of Scripture and why it still speaks to us today.
