Why does the Catholic Bible have more books than the Protestant one? What are the Deuterocanonical books, and how did we get our Old Testament? In this episode of Seeds of Grace Reflections, we explore the history, debate, and faith behind the Apocrypha—and how God’s Spirit has guided His Church through it all.

What's the Deal with the Apocrypha?

Seeds of Grace Reflections is a place to wrestle with deep questions of theology, faith, and the mysteries of God’s Word. I’m not a scholar—but I am a student of Scripture, deeply in love with Jesus, and convinced He’s worth devoting my entire life to. This space was born out of a desire to linger longer in the truths that stir our hearts and challenge our minds—to ask the hard questions, search the Scriptures, and discover the beauty of what God reveals along the way.
Here, we’ll explore the layers of theology that shape our faith: the nature of God, how to interpret Scripture faithfully, and we will seek His truth and wisdom together. My hope is not to have all the answers, but to grow together with others who desire to think deeply, love richly, and walk faithfully with Christ.
If you want to dive into more practical applications of our faith, I encourage you to listen to another podcast I co-host called The Well with Brittney and Kate. There, we focus on the everyday walk of faith—how the truths we explore here shape our relationships, our habits, and our hope. While Seeds of Grace Reflections leans into theology, doctrine, and the “why” behind what we believe, The Well explores the “how”—how to live it out with authenticity, grace, and courage in a world that needs Jesus.
