Episode 185
If you’ve ever wanted to read the Bible more consistently but struggled to stay focused — or if you have a child who gets frustrated, distracted, or overwhelmed by reading — today’s episode is especially for you.
In our last conversation, we talked about dyslexia for the first time on the show. And one of the questions that came up again and again was, What does support actually look like in everyday life? Not just in schoolwork — but in faith, too.
Today, we’re continuing that conversation in an interview with Laura Bartlett, Associate Publisher for Zondervan Bibles, about a Bible designed specifically for readers with dyslexia and ADHD: the Clear Focus Bible.
This Bible uses Bionic Reading typography — a research-based layout that highlights parts of words to help the brain recognize them more easily, guiding the eyes across the page and improving focus and comprehension. For many readers, this removes the constant friction that makes reading feel exhausting or discouraging.
The Clear Focus Bible is being released through Zondervan, and it represents something really important to me: the idea that struggling to read doesn’t mean someone is less spiritual, less disciplined, or less capable of connecting with God’s Word.
This isn’t about shortcuts. It’s about accessibility. It’s about removing unnecessary barriers so more people — kids and adults alike — can engage with Scripture with confidence instead of frustration.
This episode is part of an ongoing commitment on this podcast to talk honestly about learning differences, faith, and motherhood — and while this conversation started with dyslexia, it certainly won’t end there.
