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.

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalm 119:105
Central Biblical Idea: God called Gideon during a time of national oppression, patiently confirmed His word to him, deliberately reduced Israel’s army so that the victory could not be credited to human strength, and used Gideon to defeat Midian. Yet Gideon’s later choices remind us that being used by God does not remove the need for continued faithfulness.
Episode Aim: To help listeners see Gideon as Scripture presents him: a fearful and questioning man called by God, strengthened through divine assurance, used in a victory designed to magnify the LORD rather than human ability, and later capable of decisions that complicated the legacy of his leadership. Gideon’s life demonstrates both the patience of God with a hesitant servant and the danger of assuming that past usefulness guarantees future faithfulness.
Primary Scriptures: Judges 6:1–40; Judges 7:1–25; Judges 8:22–35
Supporting Scriptures: Judges 2:11–23; Judges 5:31; Judges 8:1–21; Hebrews 11:32–34

S3E19 BONUS - When Tomorrow Isn't Promised - A Conversation with Greg Davis
What would you do differently if you knew tomorrow might never come?
For Greg Davis, that question became more than something to think about.
After surviving a life-threatening medical emergency, Greg found himself reflecting on the uncertainty of life, the importance of faith, and the time God gives us.
In this special Written and Read Guest Conversation, Greg joins McKenzie Fleming and Dr. Robert C. Crowder to share his experience and discuss what it means to live with eternity in view.
The Bible reminds us:
“Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” James 4:14 (KJV)
We cannot be certain of tomorrow. But through Jesus Christ, we can have the assurance of eternal life.
Join us for this personal conversation about life, faith, and the hope found in Jesus Christ.
Anchor Scripture: James 4:14 (KJV)
“Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”
Supporting Scriptures:
Psalm 90:12: Learning to number our days and apply our hearts unto wisdom.
Proverbs 27:1: The uncertainty of tomorrow and the danger of presuming upon the future.
Hebrews 9:27: The certainty of death and the judgment that follows.
John 11:25–26: Jesus Christ as the resurrection and the life, and the promise of eternal life to those who believe in Him.

S3, E4 - Deborah
Central Biblical Idea: During a period of oppression and spiritual disorder in Israel, God used Deborah as a prophetess and judge to communicate His word, summon Barak to obedience, and help lead Israel toward deliverance. The victory, however, belonged to the LORD, who worked through Deborah, Barak, Jael, and those who willingly offered themselves for His purpose.
Episode Aim: To allow Judges 4 and 5 to define Deborah rather than making her a symbol for questions the passage was not written to answer. Scripture presents her as a prophetess, a judge in Israel, a woman through whom God communicated His command to Barak, and one who willingly served during troubled days. Her story demonstrates that God was still at work in Israel even during the recurring failure that characterized the period of the judges.
Primary Scriptures: Judges 4:1–24; Judges 5:1–9, 24–31
Supporting Scriptures: Judges 2:11–23; Judges 3:7–11; Hebrews 11:32–34
