Pastor Jim also gives us a helpful framework for understanding hard-to-read verses—the ones you’d think twice about embroidering on a pillow!Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 2 of the She Reads Truth Joshua reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com. Shop the Joshua Reading Plan collection at ShopSheReadsTruth.com. Show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/secret-sins-and-the-sun-that-stood-still

Join Raechel and Amanda as they kick off the Lenten season in the book of Joshua with activist, author, and speaker, Christine Caine. Why is Joshua one of Christine’s favorite books of the Bible?

Jump into this week’s encouraging and convicting conversation as we answer these questions and more in the action-packed, life-giving book of Joshua.Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 1 of the She Reads Truth Joshua reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com. Shop the Joshua Reading Plan collection at ShopSheReadsTruth.com. Show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/blue-check-marks-and-biblical-success

On today’s episode of the She Reads Truth podcast, Raechel and Amanda welcome author and Bible teacher Lydia Brownback to wrap up our two-week series on the book of Esther.

It’s the first week in our Esther series! Raechel and Amanda sit down with speaker, author, and Bible teacher, Vivian Mabuni. Calling in from the West coast, Vivian wakes up extra early to dive into one of her favorite books of the Bible: Esther, a book about the young Jewish queen who fights for her people. The three women discuss royal banquets and beauty pageants, fasting and lamenting, and what it looks like to serve without seeing a reward or outcome. This week’s reading ends with a cliffhanger, challenging us to follow God while remembering what’s true—even when we can’t see the end of the story.  Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 1 of the She Reads Truth Esther reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com. Shop the Esther collection at ShopSheReadsTruth.com. Show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/esther-week-1-with-vivian-mabuni/

For the final episode of our Faith in Practice series, join us for a conversation among friends with author, speaker, and songwriter Kelly Minter. This week, Raechel, Amanda, and Kelly engage in an honest and vulnerable conversation about their difficult, yet freeing personal experiences with the disciplines of solitude, silence, simplicity, chastity, and remembrance. Connecting the practice of these disciplines to everything from the rhythms of Peloton workouts to Portuguese lessons, they help us tackle the often unasked yet wrestled with question, Can freedom and discipline co-exist?  Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 4 of the She Reads Truth Faith in Practice reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com. Shop the Faith in Practice Reading Plan collection at ShopSheReadsTruth.com. Show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/faith-in-practice-week-4-with-kelly-minter/

For the third week of our Faith in Practice series, bestselling author and speaker Rebekah Lyons returns to the podcast, just over a year to the date! She talks with Raechel and Amanda about the surprising spiritual discipline of celebration, which can include some fierce dancing (we see you King David). The three also discuss connections between the disciplines of worship, submission, and confession and how remembrance of God’s goodness shows up in each one. As they dive deep into their discussion, the common takeaway is this—the goal of these spiritual disciplines is not about checking boxes, but growing in our relationship with God.Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 3 of the She Reads Truth Faith in Practice reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.comShop the Faith in Practice collection at ShopSheReadsTruth.com. Show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/faith-in-practice-week-3-with-rebekah-lyons/

On the second episode of our Faith in Practice series, Raechel and Amanda explore six spiritual practices with good friend, author, and fellow podcaster Annie F. Downs. The three talk about serving, using Instagram carousels to memorize Scripture, and how spiritual disciplines train the heart toward Jesus. Annie tells us why she recites the Apostles’ Creed while making tea in the morning, and we learn that spiritual practices and the Body of Christ cannot exist independently from one another. Together, we can let ourselves be beginners, invite each other into the process, and pursue spiritual practices “imperfectly and with conviction.” Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 2 of the She Reads Truth Faith in Practice reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com. Shop the Faith in Practice collection at ShopSheReadsTruth.com. Show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/faith-in-practice-week-2-with-annie-f-downs/

On the heels of an unexpected 2020, and with the hope of a brand new year ahead, they explore what it really means to live like Jesus. How do we create everyday rhythms that bring fulfillment instead of emptiness and exhaustion? Touching on topics from marathon training and New Years de-resolutions to prayer and peppermint mochas, their conversation keeps coming back to one key question: what would Jesus do if He were me?Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 1 of the She Reads Truth Faith in Practice reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com.Shop the Faith in Practice: A Biblical Study of Spiritual Disciplines reading plan collection at ShopSheReadsTruth.com. Show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/faith-in-practice-week-1-with-john-mark-comer/

The three discuss all things SRT, from how it all started to their continued passion for reading the Word every day.

For the final week of our Advent 2020 series, Raechel and Amanda talk with the very neighborly singer-songwriters, Drew and Ellie Holcomb. As the couple shares about the time they took cover from a tornado in the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, they also marvel at the audacity of God wrapping Himself in flesh to become one of us. Together, our musical guests play two carols and remind us that no matter where we find ourselves—whether the rim of the Grand Canyon or the stage of an empty auditorium—we can keep singing hope into the darkness. During a time when it feels like we’ve been “adventing” all year, we find comfort in the never-changing heart of the Christmas story: God is with us, always. Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 4 of the She Reads Truth Advent 2020 reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com. Shop the Advent 2020 collection at ShopSheReadsTruth.com. Show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/advent-2020-week-4-with-drew-and-ellie-holcomb/

It’s the third week of our Advent 2020 series, and Raechel and Amanda welcome singer-songwriter, long-time She, and new friend Jillian Edwards to the podcast.

Jillian’s ethereal voice mesmerizes the room as she plays her own song, Mary’s Lullaby, and the classic Away in a Manger.

In between singing Angels We Have Heard on High and Silent Night, the four friends talk about everything from the ideal time to decorate for Christmas and German Christmas traditions, to their shared desperation for celebration at the end of 2020. As they read Scripture together and rejoice in its power and authority, they consistently encourage one another to live out the radical love of Jesus.Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 2 of the She Reads Truth Advent 2020: Jesus Christ Is Born reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com. Shop the Advent Reading Plan collection at ShopSheReadsTruth.com. Show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/advent-2020-week-2-with-natalie-grant-and-bernie-herms/

For the first week of our Advent 2020 series, Amanda and Raechel spend time with songwriter, podcast host, and comedian, Dave Barnes. During the episode, they explain how Advent is Latin for “arrival,” and talk about the importance of waiting as we prepare for Christmas Day. Dave compares this year to playing an accordion and shares two of his Christmas songs (but not his funky new version of Go, Tell It on the Mountain—we have to wait for that too!). Together, the three laugh about everything from mowing lawns to Instagram characters, and they offer some comforting answers to the profoundly multilayered and hope-filled question of why Jesus came.Show notes: shereadstruth.com/podcast/advent-2020-week-1-with-dave-barnes/

For the second and final week of The Fruit of the Spirit series, Raechel and Amanda are joined by Nathan Tasker, fellow Nashvillian and Director of Music, Liturgy, and Creative Arts at Christ Presbyterian Church. The three dig into what it looks like for the Holy Spirit to dwell in believers, wondering aloud at the richness of God’s character and the way Scripture continues to surprise and challenge us. The conversation begins at kindness, touches on youth group skits and laying bricks, and lands with a beautiful story from Nate that illustrates the importance of the Spirit’s presence in our daily lives.Show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/the-fruit-of-the-spirit-week-2-with-nathan-tasker/

For the final week of our Proverbs series, Amanda and Raechel sit down with author, speaker, and fellow lover of God’s Word, Angie Smith. As the three talk about the wisdom that concerns our material world, they also touch on self-woven bedspreads and why you probably shouldn’t holler at strangers. Together, they explore the dangers of wealth, the surprising relationship between gluttony and generosity, and why even though walking in God’s wisdom looks different depending on the times and seasons, His Word will always be a faithful guide. Bonus points if you catch how many times they mention the word “tacos” or “self-governance”!Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 4 of the She Reads Truth Proverbs reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com. Shop the Proverbs collection at ShopSheReadsTruth.com. Show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/proverbs-week-4-with-angie-smith/

It’s Week 3 of our Proverbs series, and Amanda and Raechel welcome author, poet, Bible teacher, and expectant mother Jackie Hill Perry to the podcast. They reminisce on grandmothers, sigh over the beauty of clean sheets, and Jackie even briefly sings a few bars of a popular tune to our hosts’ delight. The three dig into this week’s readings, tackling hard sayings and tough topics: what it really means to be a Proverbs 31 woman, adultery, and delighting in correction. No matter how challenging the passages may seem, they take comfort in this: all of God’s Word is good and profitable because it all helps us to know Him better. Show notes can be found here: shereadstruth.com/podcast/proverbs-week-3-with-jackie-hill-perry/

For the second week of our Proverbs series, Raechel and Amanda talk with author, SRT devotional writer, and upstate New York’s newest resident, Lore Ferguson Wilbert. While studying proverbs focusing on the inner life, they talk about everything from Proverbs’ unique ability to be equally convicting, painful, and sweet, to the ideal temperature for a dark chocolate peanut butter cup. Together, they celebrate the truth that these proverbs repeatedly reveal: we serve a God whose work and power are far beyond our ability or understanding. When we recognize this, we too can live out the Wilbert family mantra—“fidelity to the Word of God and not to an outcome.” Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 2 of the She Reads Truth Proverbs: Walking in Wisdom reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com. Shop the Proverbs: Walking in Wisdom Reading Plan collection at ShopSheReadsTruth.com. Show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/proverbs-week-2-with-lore-wilbert/

For the first week of our Proverbs series, Raechel and Amanda open their Bibles alongside pastor, author, and former SRT teammate, Russ Ramsey. As they explore the genre of wisdom literature, Russ explains how Proverbs is not a book of laws but a collection of wise sayings that are “generally true, always wise.” They chat about the significance of the Hebrew word for “happy,” how reading the Bible means the Bible reads us, and the loveliness of Nashville in autumn. The three friends celebrate these tiny morsels of portable theology and how the book of Proverbs teaches us to walk in God’s wisdom.  Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 1 of the She Reads Truth Proverbs reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com. Shop the Proverbs Reading Plan collection at ShopSheReadsTruth.com. Show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/proverbs-week-1-with-russ-ramsey/

It’s the final week of our Daniel series, and Raechel and Amanda speak with author and Biblical Studies professor, Dr. J. Daniel Hays. Dr. Hays’s enthusiasm captivates our hosts, from his Babylon-themed virtual background to his fondness for the word schmutz. They discuss the bizarre visions of chapters 8–12, along with apocalyptic imagery and names that could double as tongue twisters (try saying Antiochus Epiphanes a few times). However perplexing these passages are, the three continue to identify this clear truth: God’s plans are unstoppable, and one day, we will see all prophecy from His Word fulfilled.Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 3 of the She Reads Truth Daniel reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com.Shop the Daniel Reading Plan collection at ShopSheReadsTruth.com. Show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/daniel-week-3-with-dr-j-daniel-hays/

For the third and final episode in our Ecclesiastes series, Raechel and Amanda are joined by author, singer-songwriter, and friend of the SRT podcast, Kelly Minter. Chatting about everything from quarantine dogs to pink peonies, they wrestle with the book’s call to invest in this temporary life.

Kelly tells how one verse from Ecclesiastes changed her life, Raechel talks expiration dates, and Amanda tries out some new slang. And they all breathe a sigh of relief at Solomon’s hard-won conclusion. Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 3 of the She Reads Truth Ecclesiastes reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com. Shop the Ecclesiastes collection at ShopSheReadsTruth.com. Save 25% on the Women & Men in the Word: New Testament collection with the code WORD25.Show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/ecclesiastes-week-3-with-kelly-minter/

When exactly was Jesus born? Was the “inn” really an inn? Were animals present? What about the wise men? How could Joseph and Mary afford to flee to Egypt? Why do we still have so many questions about a story we’ve known since we were kids? Armed with neon ski caps and cups of coffee, the trio ventures down these and other rabbit trails related to the Christmas story, asking, “What does Scripture actually say?” They find some answers and oddities along the way, and find, once again, that God’s Word only grows richer under the microscope of our honest questions. Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 3 of the She Reads Truth A Thrill of Hope: Advent 2019 reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com. Advent 2019 Collection at ShopSheReadsTruth.com Additional show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/advent-2019-week-3/

It’s okay to feel stuck—but you don’t have to stay stuck. We can help you develop daily Bible reading habits in your right-now, everyday life. Simply show up, read today’s scriptures with us, and do it again tomorrow. You’ll be amazed what a difference regular Bible reading makes. Our hope for this podcast is that it will serve as a complement to our reading plans, to encourage you on your commute to work, while you’re out for a walk, or at home making dinner. God’s Word is for you and for now. That's why our community is here and always open to you.
