That's Just What I Needed Podcast
Donna JonesHow to Simplify the Bible and Actually Enjoy Reading It with Zach Windahl
June 25, 2025 ● 31 minShare this episode
What if reading the Bible felt less like a chore and more like a conversation with God?
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Zach Windahl, author of The Bible Simplified. His passion for Scripture was shaped after he fell away from his faith while attending a Christian college. (Yes, you read that right.) Zach was influenced by the deconstruction movement, but when he hit bottom, he decided to study the Bible for himself like never before. His life was forever changed.
Motivated by his desire to help others understand the Bible, Zack founded the brand Sunday, which became the #4 best-selling consumer product in the US!!
Zach helps us see the Bible not as a rulebook, but as one beautiful, life-giving story.
Together, we talk about how understanding the Bible’s context can deepen our relationship with Jesus. If you’ve ever wanted to make Bible reading feel approachable and meaningful, this conversation is just what you needed!
And remember, I'd love to connect more on Instagram, where you'll find me at @donnaajones.

Today's Devotional
A Prayer to Receive the Father’s Discipline - Your Daily Prayer - May 16
Conviction, repentance, and discipline are all great gifts from our Father in heaven. He wants us to be honest with Him so that we can see real transformation happen in our lives, as He conforms us into the image of His Son.
