Why do so many people disengage from the Old Testament - especially books like Leviticus?

In this episode, Brianna Tittel shares her journey from a struggling faith to a deeper understanding of Scripture as a unified story. What began as frustration turned into discovery when she realized Jesus was reading the Bible very differently than she was.

Through that lens, even Leviticus begins to open up - not as an outdated law code, but as a central part of the Gospel story.

This conversation invites listeners to rethink assumptions, reconnect the story, and rediscover the Jewish foundation of faith.

• The Bible is one unified story, not two disconnected parts
• Jesus read the Hebrew Scriptures differently than most modern readers
• Leviticus is central, not optional, to understanding the Gospel
• The Torah is God’s instruction, not an outdated system
• Replacing or erasing leads to theological confusion
• The Church has often lost connection to its Jewish roots
• Rediscovery begins with humility and curiosity
