Most people don’t struggle with believing the Bible, they struggle with knowing which one to read.

Because not all Bibles read the same, and that’s not an accident.

In this episode of Beneath The Ink, we walk through how Bible translations actually work, why there are so many of them, and how to choose one that is faithful, readable, and trustworthy.

If you’ve ever wondered why your Bible reads differently than someone else’s, felt unsure which translation to use, or worried about picking the “wrong” one, you’re not alone. The issue isn’t access, it’s understanding.

This episode will help you slow down, think clearly, and approach Bible translations with confidence instead of confusion.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why there are so many Bible translations • What “word-for-word” vs “thought-for-thought” really means • Why no translation is perfect, and why that’s okay • The difference between translation and interpretation • How some “Bibles” actually change meaning • How study Bibles and themed Bibles can shape your reading • What to look for in a faithful Bible translation • A simple approach to choosing your primary and secondary Bible

Beneath The Ink Podcast Hosted by Robert & Kellee Gentry

Helping you go beyond surface-level Bible reading into deeper understanding, context, and application.

Because how you read the Bible shapes how you live it.

Most Christians don’t struggle with believing the gospel, they struggle with seeing how the whole Bible points to it.

Because when you don’t understand Passover, you miss one of the clearest pictures of what Jesus came to do.

In this bonus episode of Beneath The Ink, we walk through the story of Passover and uncover how it all points to Christ, from the lamb in Exodus to the cross, the Last Supper, and the promise of what’s still to come.

If you’ve ever read the Old Testament and felt disconnected, wondered how it all fits together, or wanted to understand the deeper meaning behind what Jesus did, you’re not alone. The issue isn’t the story, it’s how we see it.

This episode will help you slow down, connect the dots, and see the Bible as one unified story of redemption centered on Jesus.

In this episode, we cover:

• What Passover is and why it matters
• How Exodus 12 points directly to Jesus
• Why the lamb, the blood, and the rescue all matter
• How the Last Supper reframes Passover around Christ
• The meaning behind the four cups
• Which cup Jesus drank at the cross
• Why the final cup has not been fulfilled yet
• What it means to live “between the cups”

Most people don’t struggle with believing the Bible, they struggle with how to read it.

Because how you read the Bible shapes how you live it.

In this first episode of Beneath The Ink, we explore what it really means to read Scripture with the grain, instead of forcing it to say what we want.

If you’ve ever opened your Bible and felt confused, grabbed random verses for encouragement, or struggled to understand what you’re reading, you’re not alone. The issue isn’t belief, it’s approach.

This episode will help you slow down, ask better questions, and begin reading the Bible in a way that actually forms your life.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why most people struggle to read the Bible

• What the Bible is, and what it is not

• What it means to “read with the grain”

• The danger of taking verses out of context

• The difference between devotional reading and study reading

• The key question that changes how you read Scripture

• A simple framework: Observe, Interpret, Apply
