Yes — Les Feldick's informal, conversational teaching style is specifically designed to help people understand the Bible.
Les describes his program as an informal Bible study, not a formal theological lecture, and he continually invites viewers to open their Bibles and compare Scripture with Scripture. He says his goal is to help people who have read the Bible without understanding it to finally grasp what it is really talking about (Clips 1, 7).
Les's teaching style is anchored in the Bible text. He consistently tells viewers to open their Bibles, follow along, and compare Scripture with Scripture (Clip 1). The evidence clips do not quote specific verses, but they show that Les treats the Bible as the authority and points people directly to it so they can understand it for themselves.
Les describes his program as an informal Bible study, not a formal theological lecture (Clips 1, 4, 5). He explains that he could not simply teach to a camera; the studio audience makes it conversational and helps keep the atmosphere relaxed, to the point that he sometimes forgets the cameras are rolling (Clips 0, 5). He also stresses that he is not associated with any particular group and does not try to promote any organization, so he is free to teach as he believes the Holy Spirit leads (Clips 1, 4). Les's method is to have viewers open their Bibles and follow the references. He encourages people to 'compare Scripture with Scripture' (Clip 1) and to take notes so they can become Bible students on their own (Clip 6). His stated goal is to help people get interested in the Book, see how exciting it is, and above all understand it — especially those who have read the Bible through and still 'didn't understand a thing' (Clip 7). He says he is not building an empire (Clip 3).

He explains that they are not associated with any particular group and are not trying to promote an organization (Clips 1, 4). Instead, they simply open the Scriptures in a way that anyone can understand (Clip 7).
Les says many people tell him, 'I've read it through five times and didn't understand a thing I read.' His approach is to change that by opening the Scriptures so anyone can understand what the Bible is really talking about (Clip 7). He invites television viewers to sit down with their Bibles and chase down the references, acting as if they were part of the studio class (Clips 1, 3). He also tells people to take pencil and paper, write down the things they hear, and go back and study them (Clip 6).
Les says he could never simply teach to a camera; the studio audience makes the program conversational and enjoyable. He often forgets the cameras are rolling, and he speaks to the audience as he would in a home class (Clips 0, 5). The audience represents various denominations, and Les likes the fact that he is free to teach as he believes the Holy Spirit leads (Clip 4).
