The rise of influencer marketing has exposed both authenticity and hypocrisy within social media, even among Christian leaders. Many high-profile women project an image of godliness while living contrary to Biblical teachings. As a result, the article urges discernment, advising individuals to carefully assess the lives and doctrines of influencers they follow.

In this episode, dig deep into Week 2 of our study of Romans with Raechel Myers and She Reads Truth's CCO, Jessica Lamb! While the SRT community has read Romans together before, Jessica unpacks how we can read Romans with a fresh lens and with new insights while still uncovering timeless truth. Jessica and Raechel discuss their treasured truths of Romans and how God continues to show Himself in new ways as they reread a familiar book.Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 2 of the She Reads Truth Romans reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com. Shop the Romans collection at ShopSheReadsTruth.com. Show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/romans-week-2-with-jessica-lamb

Welcome to week 3 of our Genealogy of Jesus reading plan with special guest Angie Smith, Raechel Myers, and Amanda Bible Williams! In this week's episode, we talk about both the most infamous and the often untold stories of people in Jesus's genealogy. Regardless of if you've never focused on these stories before or if you're reading them for the one-hundredth time, they all share the beauty of having hardship and real life woven into the bigger God's story of redemption. Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 3 of the She Reads Truth Genealogy of Jesus reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com. Shop The Genealogy of Jesus collection at ShopSheReadsTruth.com. Show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/the-genealogy-of-jesus-week-3-with-angie-smith

We've got our very own Raechel Myers and Amanda Bible Williams on this episode for Week 2 of our Genealogy of Jesus reading plan. This week, Raechel and Amanda talk about why reading through the stories of the people in Jesus's genealogy is so important and how reading has impacted their faith. They'll challenge us to see more of who God is, His faithfulness and steadfastness, by reading about the generations of people who trusted in Him.Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 2 of the She Reads Truth Genealogy of Jesus reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com. Shop The Genealogy of Jesus collection at ShopSheReadsTruth.com. Show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/the-genealogy-of-jesus-week-2-with-raechel-and-amanda

A recent study found that 50% of US adults read the Bible less than twice a year. In my conversation today with Raechel Myers we talk about this spiritual famine many Christians are facing, especially after the last few years. As the CEO/Founder of She Reads Truth, He Reads Truth, and Kids Read Truth, Raechel is passionate about helping people personally connect with the living Word of God. Raechel's passion for the Bible is evident but you will also appreciate her honesty in discussing the struggles and the pressures people sometimes face when it comes to diving into Scripture. I hope you get to the end of this episode feeling encouraged about your next step. As we wrap up season 2 of the podcast, I couldn't think of a better episode to keep ringing in our ears over the summer. PS. Join us in wishing She Reads Truth a happy 10th year anniversary! *** Stay connected with Greg on social @gregholder_ and check out today's show notes!

“We're the already-reached, but not reaching for our Bibles.” What powerful and convicting words. I always love chatting with the ladies at She Reads Truth and hearing about what they're doing to develop a community of women who are committed to reading their Bibles together every day. Raechel Myers joined me on this episode and breaks down elements of the church calendar, such as Lent and Advent! SRT has so many incredible resources to dive into the Word and take time to remember and worship. We also talk about how there's a lot of scripture-adjacent things that feel like you've spent time with God, but you've really just heard someone else's experience of spending time with God. While these things are helpful resources, we never want to use them as a replacement for our own quiet time with the Lord. Thankful for all that She Reads Truth is doing to build a community of bible-reading believers!

During their conversation, they walk through their fondest Easter memories and discuss moments in Scripture that point to the Easter season.

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 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.

She has an incredible awareness for the big picture at work and at home.""Be slow to speak and quick to gather information.""From the start, She Reads Truth has always been about biblical literacy.""22% of church attending Christians in the United States read their Bible regularly during the week.""One of our goals this year has been to partner with churches and provide them with tools and resources that can easily integrate into their congregation."

Raechel Myers is the CEO of SheReadsTruth, HeReadsTruth, and KidsReadTruth - she's also a mom, a wife, and a lover of beautiful design. During this episode, she turns the tables on Jess a little in a beautiful way as they discuss starting SheReadsTruth together, why Jess left, and how God has done beautiful things through that departure. She then goes on to share so much wisdom about how God has equipped her for this season. You'll love this episode! You can also follow along with Raechel and SheReadsTruth on Instagram.

In a time when biblical truth is often narrowed down to a greeting card slogan or a small subset of feel-good encouragements, the She Reads Truth community takes a different approach. The bible studies and reading plans from She Reads Truth take a deep dive into scripture with the goal to understand the big picture of who God is throughout history and our need for his grace. SRT co-founder and CEO Raechel Myers shares the community’s origin and her personal story of encountering God’s goodness amidst the loss of her daughter. Jump in to hear Raechel share her heart for studying scripture and relying on the Holy Spirit in the difficult places of parenting. I can base my understanding of God on the 36 years that I’ve experienced with him, but that is a mistake. God’s story is so far back before I ever existed. And so one of the important reasons that we read the Bible is to understand the broader story of who God is and how I fit into his story, not how he fits into mine. What we chat about: Raechel’s writing background and the purpose behind her first blog How God trained and equipped Raechel through various experiences before She Reads Truth began The origin of the She Reads Truth community Taking God’s word for what it is and not relying too heavily on devotionals or feel-good scriptures alone She Reads Truth has options for everything from free reading plans to beautiful, bound books A new children’s story book they’ve produced called This Is the Gospel Addressing faith and trusting that God is who he says he is with your older kids Why scripture plays such a key role in our understanding of who God is beyond our own experience with him The importance of modeling Christian life for our children’s spiritual formation

In this week’s episode we had the amazing privilege of facilitating a round table discussion with three incredible ladies in three different seasons of life. We talked with Debbie Riley (Erin’s mamma), Ashley Hartgrove, and Abigail Slape about how Biblical literacy, Theology, and The Gospel is important in each of their individual life stages. This was such a sweet conversation full of so much wisdom and encouragement. They also provide some practical resources for growing in these areas as a woman of God. Resources: The King in His Beauty by Thomas R. Schreiner Celebration of Discipline: The Path to Spiritual Growth, by Richard J. Foster Open Your Bible by Raechel Myers and Amanda Bible Williams Quotes: “Am I doing this to GET an identity… OR am I doing this OUT OF my identity in Christ.” - Ashley “The Gospel is the most beautiful and the best story that proves heart transformation and that never fails and is constant throughout every season of life” - Abigail “Theology is really important today because our culture is basically trying to change God’s word and it’s unchangeable, it doesn’t change, it’s the truth.” - Debbie “I would say my generation needs the Gospel because we need something constant and never changing in our ever changing world.” - Abigail *The beautiful music heard on today’s episode is by Katie Cobbs*

The church has had rhythms since the start, and no one helps me learn and love the church calendar (and the Bible!) more than Raechel Myers, Amanda Bible Williams, and Russ Ramsey from SheReadsTruth and HeReadsTruth. 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. This episode is inspiring and moving and brought me to tears.  http://shereadstruth.com http://hereadstruth.com http://100daystobrave.com http://anniefdowns.com #thatsoundsfunpodcast ... join in the conversation wherever hashtags are welcome. :)  Thanks to our friends at ThirdLove for sponsoring this episode!

Raechel Myers is my guest for The Happy Hour #158. Raechel is the co-founder and CEO of She Reads Truth, and leads the She Reads Truth community and staff out of her deep love of God’s Word and the firm conviction that all of Scripture is good news. She is the co-author of Open Your Bible: God’s Word Is for You and for Now and She Reads Truth: Holding Tight to Permanent in a Word That’s Passing Away. Raechel lives south of Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband and their two children. In our conversation today, Raechel and I chat about how she's leading a Bible study for the first time with the ladies in her neighborhood. We also talk all about She Reads Truth - about how quickly it's grown and how one of their employees is now Raechel's husband, making her his boss (which would never work in the Ivey household, but Raechel makes it sound like a dream). And finally, we talk about God's faithfulness through good times and hard times and how to be a friend to someone walking through the trenches.  In the show, Raechel and I talk briefly about the She Reads Truth Bible. Y'all, I can't recommend this Bible enough. It's so beautifully put together. Because of it's crazy popularity, the Bible sold out very quickly, but the reprint has recently been released and you can grab your copy here. I promise, you will LOVE it.  {You can listen to the showHERE. And of course, I would love if you would share with your friends.

In this week's episode, Rachel Dawson talks with the She Reads Truth founders Raechel Myers and Amanda Bible Williams about their new Bible, what She Reads Truth is all about, and how different translations differ. The editors talk about the Bible versions they prefer and how they use them in their own Bible study, too. Then, the team talks about Facebook sales-- how our friends are trying to sell us products, what bugs us about it, why we think it's a growing trend, and what crosses the line. We would love to hear what Bible versions you love and if Facebook sales bother you or not -- join us over on https://www.facebook.com/crosswalkpodcast to share your feedback!All topics discussed can be found in our show notes at: http://www.crosswalk.com/podcasts/inside-the-editors-room/episode-6-on-bible-versions-and-facebook-sales.htmlThanks for listening to Inside the Editors' Room from Crosswalk.com!

Let's talk about the SheReadsTruth and HeReadsTurth summer reading plan- the book of Romans! Y'all know I'm not the world's biggest fan of Paul :), so I brought Amanda, Raechel Myers, and Russ Ramsey onto the show to tell me why I should love the book of Romans and why we should spend our summer reading it. (Spoiler alert: they convinced me. :) ) We also talked about cheese and New Kids on the Block, and toilets. So. A real well rounded episode for you.

In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast Todd Adkins and Barnabas are joined by Raechel Myers and Amanda Williams of She Reads Truth. She Reads Truth is an enormously popular website for women – a community really – built around reading God’s word. It features reading plans and devotionals and so much more. They have also co-authored a She Reads Truth book and put together a She Reads Truth Bible featuring studies and devotionals throughout. You will love this lively conversation, and for those wondering, yes, “Bible” really is Amanda’s maiden name. BEST QUOTES “Kids don’t care about pretty sentences. They keep coming back to ‘Why?’” “We need a heresy net.” “Refinement is getting all the dross away, the stuff that doesn’t need to be done.” “The best way I can be a leader to my team is to crystalize what I am here for – why do they need me as a leader?” “The responsible thing as a good leader is to be brave enough to step away from the things I know I can do well and stretch myself into learning.” “What is it that only I can do?” “Leadership doesn’t come naturally to me.” “We’re learning to listen to our team.” “When you start something it is so much easier to default to doing rather than developing others to do.” “When we’re leading well in the home it looks like quiet confidence.” “Being in charge doesn’t mean bing the loudest or controlling.” “Leadership is so much about what you do that no one sees.” RECOMMENDED RESOURCES SheReadsTruth.com HeReadsTruth.com She Reads Truth: Holding Tight to Permanent in a World That's Passing Away She Reads Truth Bible

My guest for Happy Hour #121 is Erin Loechner. Erin is the founder of Design for Mankind, and has been speaking and blogging for more than a decade. Her heartfelt writing and design work has been showcased in The New York Times, Lucky, Parenting, Dwell, Marie Claire, Elle Decor, Huffington Post, and a two-season HGTV.com web special, garnering more than one million fans worldwide. She has spoken for and appeared in renowned international events for clients such as Walt Disney World, IKEA, Martha Stewart and Home Depot. Now nestled in a Midwestern town, Erin, her husband, and their children strive for less in most areas except three: joy, grace, and goat cheese. If our conversation sounds like a personal counseling session, that's probably because it was. God has been doing a lot in my heart about where I find my approval, and my conversation with Erin was so timely and therapeutic. We talk about social media - the benefits, but also the pitfalls and dangers. We also chat about her upcoming book, Chasing Slow, and her thoughts and pursuits of a slower lifestyle. I read her book earlier this fall and highly recommend it. You can pre-order today for it's January 10 release. Y'all, let me just take a quick minute to say thank you so much for an incredible year. 2016 was a great year for The Happy Hour with more than 3 million downloads! I'm so thankful for you listening to the show, loving it and sharing it with your girlfriends. You make this show possible and I am so grateful.

Amanda Bible Williams and Raechel Myers from SheReadsTruth join us for our second week of our That Sounds Fun Christmas party and we talk all about what Advent is, what it looks like in our families and lives, and how it can change us to really celebrate the season, not just December 25th. Pretty much, we go to church in this episode. It brought tears to my eyes when we recorded and when I listened again.  So welcome to the longest Christmas party you've ever attended! :) The episode with Landyn was for your home, this one is for your heart. http://anniefdowns.com http://shereadstruth.com #thatsoundsfunpodcast

She holds bachelor’s degrees in English and psychology, nearly a master’s in religion, and a deep love for a farmhouse east of Nashville, Tennessee, where she lives with her husband and their three children. Chief Content Officer of She Reads Truth, Amanda spends her days happily rearranging sentences and explaining that her maiden name really is Bible. Amanda was such a delight to chat with on today's episode. She and Raechel Myers have something really special going on over at She Reads Truth, where they're making Bible study approachable and accessible for everyday women. Her love for the Bible is seriously contagious. If you're anything like me, after listening to our conversation, you'll want to make yourself a fresh cup of coffee, grab your Bible and a journal and spend some time in God's word. She and Raechel have just published their first "book book". I cried all the way through Chapter 7, and was so encouraged at the same time. She Reads Truth is on shelves now, so make sure to grab a copy. You know we try to keep things real around the Happy Hour, so pardon my weepiness in this episode. We'll be back with lots of giggles in the shows to come. {You can listen to the showHERE.
