Footnotes and Witness
Have you ever wondered if you are good enough to read the Bible? Does it feel like you aren't qualified? I grew up in church so I thought I knew how to read it; I didn't! With a few footnotes, I want to share the resources and tips that opened the Bible for me. The word finally started to feel like that "living" word I always hear about. If you follow Christ, you have the Holy Spirit and that means you are qualified to read God's word. If you want to be, this is a great place to dip your toes in the water and see what this whole Jesus thing is all about. I believe that when you read about God's true character, from His own words, you won't be able to stop telling people about how your life is saved and changed. Jesus wants us to tell our story because it is HIS story. See Jesus rightly in the Bible, and see Him in your story.

543 John Finale! Mary, Alisha, April
What an amazing season of walking through the entire book of John, one chapter at a time! I have had some amazing guests hosts with me this season and I asked 3 particular ones to join me in a conversation about what the book of John says about Jesus and how to apply that to our own lives. I even asked them a few random questions to help you get to know them a little better. April Whalen, Mary Austin, and Alisha Woodall are some of the most influential people in my own walk with Jesus and learning to read the Bible. I hope you enjoy our conversation and find something worth hanging on to!
