Episode 2: The Periodic Table of the Bible 

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.
