Jessica Setnick is a Registered Dietician and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist whose mission is to educate primary care professionals about eating disorders and dysfunctional eating behavior.

After struggling with doubt for years, Zach Windahl committed to an intensive Bible study program in Australia that completely transformed his life and changed his thoughts on the Bible. Since then, Zach has written The Bible Study and launched The Brand Sunday, a company that creates resources that help people engage with God’s Word. Zach’s mission is to simplify the Bible so anyone – no matter their background – can understand it, apply it, and grow in their faith. 

In today’s conversation with Zach, we dive into his new book, The Bible Simplified and discuss why and how the Bible is relevant to and transformational for modern readers, what the Bible teaches us about authentic beauty, and how Zach maintains belief in a good and beautiful God in a world so full of struggle and suffering.
