About

Written and Read is a Bible teaching podcast built around one simple conviction: God wrote His Word to be read, understood, and applied. Every episode, co-host McKenzie Fleming brings the questions, the kind real people actually ask, and pastor, teacher, and author Dr. Robert C. Crowder opens the King James Bible and lets the text speak for itself. No opinion pieces. No cultural commentary. No celebrity guests. Just an honest question and a straight answer from the Word of God. Dr. Crowder's conviction is straightforward: the Bible is the Word of God, given to be understood, not just read. Every episode is built to help you do exactly that. Written and Read is for the lifelong Bible student and the brand-new believer alike, anyone who has ever wanted to sit down with their Bible and ask questions they have always wanted to ask as a means of understanding what they're reading.
