She Reads Truth Podcast

For the third and final week of our Kingdom of God series, we hear from Amanda and Raechel’s guest Lysa TerKeurst—an author, speaker, and Bible teacher. Together, they untangle topics like pursuing holiness and how to think biblically about the inclusive and exclusive nature of the gospel. Lysa shares her personal journey with forgiveness and how the act of forgiving those who’ve hurt us is “one of the most beautiful evidences of being a citizen of the kingdom of heaven.” During this hour, we learn about the true meaning of the gospel: it is an invitation into a new way of being and a new God-given identity.

Join Raechel and Amanda for the second week of The Kingdom of God reading plan with singer, songwriter, and author, Ellie Holcomb. As they explore the ever surprising realities of the upside down nature of the kingdom of God, they talk about everything from edible flower arrangements to seeing the beauty of the present and coming kingdom through childlike eyes. Along the way, they challenge us to consider the kingdom through the perspective of others, leaving us with a question to faithfully approach conversation with those who are different from us—Will you help me see Jesus through your eyes?

It’s our second week in 1 Thessalonians! Raechel and Amanda read the rest of the apostle Paul’s letter with Jonathan Pitts, a pastor, author, and father of four. Having walked through his own season of grief recently, Jonathan speaks to the believer’s hope that death is not final and every loss will find its resurrection in Jesus. From Paul’s instructions (or “four-word sermons”) on practical holiness, to his beautiful benediction, the three friends discuss how we are called to live lives of daily faithfulness that ring out for Christ until the day we are united with Him. They also celebrate the reality that He who calls us is faithful—He will do what He has promised!

As we also wait for Jesus’s second coming, the apostle’s message of perseverance motivates us to continue living out the gospel with one another, faithfully serving the Lord with love and enduring hope.

As they follow Jesus’s journey from Galilee to Jerusalem, they share insights about His interactions with the people He encountered; how He was moved by their pain and eager to show them compassion.

Join us for a running start into the book of Mark as Raechel and Amanda study the first six chapters with Lauren Chandler, an author, worship leader, pastor’s wife, and mom of three. As they read this fast-paced Gospel, they share in the amazement and wonder we can experience as we see the authority of Jesus on display. From beginning to end, this episode reminds us that when we bring our deepest desires to Jesus, He makes us intimately aware of what our greatest need truly is—a need only satisfied in His life, death, and resurrection.
