Emphasizing the importance of community, consistency, and grace, the panel encourages listeners to trust God's work through his Word even when it feels difficult or dry.

We're kicking off our annual Advent series with Amanda Bible Williams, co-founder of She Reads Truth! Amanda shares about keeping Scripture central, holding the tension of joy and longing, and how her family celebrates the season together. She Reads Truth | He Reads Truth “We exist to help women and men and families to open their Bibles every day.” “The Advent season is the season of preparation to celebrate the birth of Jesus and to understand why we're celebrating.” “When Christmas day comes around, we're not taken by surprise or struggling to remember what this day is really about, but we're ready and we've been spending weeks pondering the manger.” Isaiah 9:2 John 1:14 “Though the story is the same, we can approach it from different angles in different seasons of life.” “Aren't we all longing for something, for someone? As Christians, we believe that our longings at their deepest are only met in Jesus.” She Reads Truth Podcast Check out the Advent collection at shopshereadstruth.com and use the code AMANDA15 for 15% off!

Amanda Williams is back and we're thankful to have her to discuss chapter 4. As we processed the lingering and waiting of imminent loss, she shared about her late father, Rex, and how his legacy lives on while we miss him on this side of eternity. This chapter was heavy, but we're certain Jesus is still present, even in the waiting. 

“It's not just the head knowledge, in this case, that the work of God is to believe in the one he has sent, to believe in Jesus—but to actually know it to the point that that's how I'm operating. That that's the belief that I'm not just knowing with my head but that I'm living out of.” — Amanda Bible WilliamsThis month's memory verse: “Jesus answered, ‘The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.'” — John 6:29Today's podcast: Have you ever wondered how good works and faith relate to each other? We often are looking for boxes to check and ways to justify ourselves, but following Jesus is a true following—step by step. Join Natalie Abbott and Amanda Bible Williams today as they dig into what this verse means, discuss barriers to belief, and encourage us to truly do the work of God: to believe in the one he has sent, Jesus. Our July Dwell guest: Amanda Bible Williams is co-founder and chief content officer of She Reads Truth.

The live version of FAITHFUL's “Go and Speak” album just released last week. To celebrate we thought we'd share some unreleased conversations captured during the live recording. Today we grab a seat next to She Reads Truth's Amanda Bible Williams and singer/songwriter Tamar Chipp as they discuss the idea of “Solidarity”. What does it mean that God stands in solidarity with us? How has the pandemic exposed our needs and weaknesses? And could that be a good thing!? In the end, we'll learn a bit more about what it actually means to remember the goodness and faithfulness of God. This is a good one!

In this episode, we sit down with the founder of She Reads Truth, Amanda Bible Williams, the founder of GraceLaced, Ruth Chou Simons, and singer-songwriter, Taylor Leonhardt, to discuss the story of Mary and Martha from Luke 10. The three of them discuss how many of us find ourselves in the role of Martha, anxiously looking to our responsibilities rather than Jesus for fulfilment. Coming out of an anxious year, Amanda, Rachel, and Taylor remind us, like Jesus taught, what it looks like to choose the better portion. Let's dive in. Affordable, private therapy with BetterHelp.

Having faith often looks different in different seasons of life. And sometimes I have this pattern in my life where I might go a season—a few weeks, a month, maybe even a few months—without going to church. This is embarrassing to admit, but life gets hard. You have babies . . . You get sick . . . Sometimes it's just tough to get there. But every single time I go back to church after one of these seasons, I notice something: I have this mindset that I'm doing it for God. I'm going to be a good Christian. I'm going to go to church. I'm going to get my brownie points. I'm going make God so happy with me because I'm showing up. And every single time I go back, I experience the same feeling: I was there for me. God invites me to church. God invites me into His story and into His plans. Not because He needs me, but for me—because I benefit from it. I don't know if you’ve ever experienced something similar, but I think it's really common to believe that about anything we do. Whether it’s going to church, reading our Bible, praying, or even giving our time, we start to believe the lie that we’re doing it for God. But the truth is that it’s for us. God is all powerful. He doesn’t need you or me. He doesn’t need our money, time or talents. He doesn’t need anything. He’s God! He can move mountains, raise the dead, heal the blind, and part red seas. He can do anything. But He chooses to invite us into His story, and it’s for our benefit. I want to give you three things that you can do to live out your faith in different seasons. And as you step into God's plan and God's calling and God's purpose for you, you’ll experience the ripple effect in the kingdom and in yourself. You'll be amazed at how He peels away these layers of pride and wounds and selfishness and sin we didn't even know were there. But as long as we have faith and live it out, we're growing to become more like Him. 3 Ways to Live Out Your Faith for Yourself and Others: So, let's talk about three really simple things that you can do to live out your faith for yourself and others. 1. Show up. Matthew 18:20 (NIV) says “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” Sometimes the best gift you can give someone is your presence. When God is in you, you can show up and show Him to people just by being present. Your presence is a gift and a ministry to the people in your life. So, just show up. Show up at church. Show up for your friends and family. Show up when someone needs help with their kids. Show up when someone needs a meal. Show up when someone just wants to sit and talk. Just be there for people. 2. Give When you give, God is inviting you to open your hands and hold your life, your time, your talents, your money, your energy, your plans, and your agendas with open hands. I believe God calls us to live a life with this posture with open hands where we can freely give and also freely receive. So, what does that look like for you? Here’s what I know: Every time I give, I think I'm doing it for God and others. And every time, it changes me more than it changes them. 3. Pray Did you know that God actually moves on your behalf when you pray? I don't know about you, but sometimes when I pray, it can feel like I’m just going through the motions. But that’s not true! When you pray, it actually changes things! If you're feeling stuck, helpless or stagnant in your faith, you might feel like prayer is the last thing you want to do. But I want to remind you that Scripture is full of examples of how God moves in response to His children. God changes things on behalf of his people when they pray. He can't wait to hear from you and hear your heart as you talk to Him with boldness with confidence. These simple things are easy ways for you to live out your faith no matter the season: show up, give and pray. When you do these things, you live out your faith as a light to a dark world for other people to see with Jesus helping, leading and guiding you every step of the way. Having Faith When Life Gets Hard with Amanda Bible Williams Y’all, I cannot wait for you to listen to my conversation with Amanda Bible Williams today as we talk about faith. Amanda is the co-founder and Chief Content Officer of She Reads Truth. She Reads Truth is a worldwide community of women who are on mission to read God’s Word together every single day. On this episode, Amanda and I talk about: How She Reads Truth began, and how it’s grown into what it is today The questions you should ask yourself when you’re faced with a big decision How to read the Bible—especially when you don’t know where to start How to understand Scripture without being a Bible teacher How to know that God is good, especially when life is hard Encouragement: God Can Use Your Crumbs I don't know about you all, but I’ve gone through seasons of my life where I’ve just felt like I don't have anything to give. I want to give. I want to help people. I want to make a difference. I want to show up. I want to do all these things that I feel God calling me to do. But sometimes, I’m just empty, exhausted, burnt out or going through a tough wilderness in my own faith walk. So, how in the world can God use me when I’m struggling to have faith on my own? About six years ago, I was going through one of these wilderness seasons in my own life. I had been serving as a leader with Young Life on top of working all the time for a nonprofit. It was my last year serving, and I just felt like my heart wasn’t in it. I felt like a hypocrite. I was leading and teaching these high school students, and I didn’t even have it together myself. All I had to offer were crumbs for these kids. And I remember God saying, I can use crumbs. I can use what you have. Friend: God can use you—even when you feel like you don't have much to give. God can use what you have right now. You might be going through a tough season just like I was. You might feel like you have nothing to offer. He can use you with what you have right now. Today. Don't discount yourself. You don't have to have it all together. My friend Christine Caine always says, “God does not call the qualified. He qualifies the called.” If God's calling you, it’s because He wants to use you—even if all you have to offer are crumbs.

He doesn't need you or me. He doesn't need our money, time or talents. He doesn't need anything. He's God! He can move mountains, raise the dead, heal the blind, and part red seas. He can do anything. But He chooses to invite us into His story, and it's for our benefit. I want to give you three things that you can do to live out your faith in different seasons. And as you step into God's plan and God's calling and God's purpose for you, you'll experience the ripple effect in the kingdom and in yourself. You'll be amazed at how He peels away these layers of pride and wounds and selfishness and sin we didn't even know were there. But as long as we have faith and live it out, we're growing to become more like Him. 3 Ways to Live Out Your Faith for Yourself and Others: So, let's talk about three really simple things that you can do to live out your faith for yourself and others. 1. Show up. Matthew 18:20 (NIV) says "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." Sometimes the best gift you can give someone is your presence. When God is in you, you can show up and show Him to people just by being present. Your presence is a gift and a ministry to the people in your life. So, just show up. Show up at church. Show up for your friends and family. Show up when someone needs help with their kids. Show up when someone needs a meal. Show up when someone just wants to sit and talk. Just be there for people. 2. Give When you give, God is inviting you to open your hands and hold your life, your time, your talents, your money, your energy, your plans, and your agendas with open hands. I believe God calls us to live a life with this posture with open hands where we can freely give and also freely receive. So, what does that look like for you? Here's what I know: Every time I give, I think I'm doing it for God and others. And every time, it changes me more than it changes them. 3. Pray Did you know that God actually moves on your behalf when you pray? I...

In Episode 5 of Life with Lisa Harper , Lisa is joined by Raechel Myers and Amanda Bible Williams, the co-founders of She Reads Truth. During their conversation, they walk through their fondest Easter memories and discuss moments in Scripture that point to the Easter season. Raechel and Amanda discuss what Jesus saved them from at Easter, and what it means to stay in the cognizance that that we need Jesus to save us, yet we're forgiven.

I love having Amanda Bible Williams and Raechel Myers on the podcast- especially when we get to celebrate couples (co-workers definitely count!) and with the season of Lent approaching, we have A LOT to discuss. I just love love love having Amanda and Raechel on the show. I think this is our best one yet. (And just to note, towards the beginning of this one, we talk about the loss of a child and how to parent the other children when there is a tragedy or loss. Was reminded by a listener friend that some of y'all may want a heads up about that.

My guest for The Happy Hour # 280 is Raechel Myers. Raechel is founder and CEO of She Reads Truth - an organization that, for more than 7 years, has been helping women (and men, and kids!) to be in the Word of God every day. Raechel lives outside of Nashville with her husband and two kids, and just loves the beauty, goodness, and truth of God and His world. My friend Raechel is a woman who loves the Word of God, and we start off the show talking about the different barriers we may see to being in the word every day and even about starting or joining a Bible study! Raechel shares with us about one of her proudest accomplishments at He Reads Truth, and the difficult road she and co-founder Amanda Bible Williams walked this past year as Amanda's son Toby was critically ill throughout 2019. Raechel shares openly how she and Amanda navigated tragedy, friendship, business, and the need for rest by walking humbly in truth and love. In the last part of the show, Raechel reminds us how so important it is to listen for the truth in a world filled with so many sound bites and messages that are almost true. You guys, I told you that Raechel is a woman who loves God's word, and I hope you're inspired to try out a plan and dig into the word every day!

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.

On this episode of the She Reads Truth podcast, founders Reachel Myers and Amanda Bible Williams, and She Reads Truth content director, John Greco, go in-depth about the tension of the “already and not yet” of the gospel. How do we find beauty in brokenness? How does God enter into our trials? How do we give thanks when we are suffering? Amanda, Raechel, and John talk about the first Thanksgiving and how the holiday has been a delicate dance of celebration and sorrow from the start. Amanda remembers what it felt like to give thanks while her 4-year-old son was on life support. And the group discusses the right-now and future hope we have in Jesus.

(History.com article)“You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you. It is easy to say you believe a rope to be strong and sound as long as you are merely using it to cord a box. But suppose you had to hang by that rope over a precipice. Wouldn’t you then first discover how much you really trusted it?” ―C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed “No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.” —C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed“Fidelity to the Word of God and not to an outcome.” —Lore Ferguson WilbertSquanto and the Miracle of Thanksgiving by Eric Metaxas

On this first-ever episode of the She Reads Truth podcast, founders Raechel Myers and Amanda Bible Williams go deep fast on topics of loss, grief, joy, and hope. How do celebration and sorrow coexist in the life of a believer? Does one cancel out the other? What does Scripture have to say about suffering? What does it mean to lament? Amanda reflects on her youngest son’s 11-month hospital stay, and Raechel shares about the role the Bible played in one of the darkest days of her life. The conversation isn’t light, but it’s good, honest, and hopeful.

Lent is the next season on the church calendar- starting February 14 until Easter on April 1. SheReadsTruth and HeReadsTruth have created an incredible reading plan- going through the book of Exodus- to help us celebrate and understand the season.
