Episode 1: Introductions & What is Bible Literacy
Welcome to This Reading Mama’s podcast! This has been a long time coming, and I’m so excited to finally be launching this podcast.

Today, I’m sharing the direction and vision of this podcast, Bible literacy as well as introducing you to my dear friend, Amy, who will co-host this podcast with me. Amy and I have studied God’s Word together for several years now. It’s one of our favorite topics to discuss in real life, so I’m excited that you get to sit in on those discussions!

While I (Becky) have been blogging at This Reading Mama for nearly 15 years and sharing literacy and educational resources for homeschoolers and teachers, I wanted to take the direction of the podcast into a different space: Biblical literacy.
At first, I (Becky) didn’t think that literacy and the Bible really went together all that much…until I realized that throughout church history, men and women of the faith worked hard and even gave their lives so that God’s Word be read by the people.
This is why we see translations such as The Septuagint, The Vulgate, and The Bishop’s Bible. These translators and scholars desired that the Bible be in the language of the people, so the people could read it for themselves!
Today, we’ll share the three components of Bible literacy. There may be more, but these are the ones we brainstormed together. I’m so excited to begin this journey with you!
