Better Ways to Read the Bible: (Engaging with Scripture in a Healthy, Accurate Way to Help You Raise Kids in a Faith They Don’t Have to Heal From) with Pastor Zach Lambert
Fresh Start Family ShowShow Notes
In this powerful episode, Wendy welcomes Pastor Zach Lambert, author of Better Ways to Read the Bible, for a hopeful and honest conversation about engaging with scripture in ways that bring life, not fear.
Zach shares how many people have experienced harm through rigid or fear-based interpretations of the Bible, and how a healthier, more Christ-centered approach can help families rebuild trust, deepen faith, and raise kids in a faith they don’t have to heal from later.
Together, Wendy and Zach explore why questions and doubts aren’t threats to faith, how harmful biblical interpretations often reveal themselves through bad fruit, and why parents can feel empowered to read scripture with humility, courage, and compassion.
This conversation is a beautiful invitation for parents who want their homes, churches, and faith communities to reflect the way of Jesus, rooted in love, justice, gentleness, and flourishing for all people.
