The conversation lands with excitement about upcoming reading plans and encountering God through His Word in the new year.This episode corresponds to the free, one-week Open Your Bibles reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com. Shop the Open Your Bibles Reading Plan collection at ShopSheReadsTruth.com. Show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/qa-with-raechel-and-amanda

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. Bonding over their love of pajama-themed Christmas gifts and holiday hymns, the three discuss the longing of that first Advent—about Jesus's perfect love, His power to heal, and His role as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Jillian’s ethereal voice mesmerizes the room as she plays her own song, Mary’s Lullaby, and the classic Away in a Manger. Join us as we lean into the longing of the first Advent and the promise of the next. Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 3 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-3-with-jillian-edwards/

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.

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/

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/

Philippians - Week 1 |Raechel, Amanda, and John are back together to dive into the first week of the SRT Philippians reading plan.

On this episode of the She Reads Truth podcast, founders Raechel Myers and Amanda Bible Williams try to stump She Reads Truth content director, John Greco, with all their Christmas questions. 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/
