Since 2012, She Reads Truth has maintained a singular mission: to be women in the Word of God every day. Ten years later, our community includes “Shes” from across the globe, but our mission hasn’t changed.
Reading Scripture together is the centerpiece of what we do at She Reads Truth. As we spend time as a community reading This Is The Church, we encourage you to start by reading the daily Scripture on your own. Then join us here to engage and encourage one another as we respond to what we’ve read. Each day for this series, we’ll include a brief summary of the reading along with a prompt for conversation.
As a community of people shaped by the gospel, the Church is called to love and serve one another, meeting each other’s needs and encouraging one another in godliness.
Discussion Question: How have you experienced God’s goodness through other believers?
Take time to reflect on your Scripture reading and today’s question. Share what you are learning with others in the community in the comments.
I have experienced God’s goodness through other believers in the form of being challenged to grow. I draw nearer to God and get to know Him and love Him better through deep discussions with other believers.
I’ve experienced God’s goodness through other believers by seeing how they walk in faith by the Spirit and not through the desires of their flesh.
I have experienced God’s goodness by the people he placed in my life that have supported, encouraged, and lived me along the way. They have given me the hard truths I’ve needed to hear and extended patience as I’ve navigated obstacles. I prayed for those people at the beginning of college and he far exceeded all of those prayers!
I have felt much love from my fellow Christians by being able to be honest and be myself. I often stay quite and hold my cards close to my chest. Yet, these women made me feel loved and as if I could share with them without being judged.
Rather than preaching to me.
I’ve experienced God’s love through others throughout my entire life, what comes to mind most is my brother and sister in law. Even during the period where I drifted from my faith, they chose to keep loving me and treating me with open hearts and with kindness. Showing am example rather than le to me.
We moved a little over a year ago. I just remember though it was difficult that the church we were coming to just showed us the goodness of God. From helping us move everything down, to helping us find housing, and at that point loving on our newborn.
My husband and I joined a small group at our church last year. Our church really encourages participation in small groups and I know it’s a good way to foster relationships with other believers, but I’m an introvert and really do not like meeting new people. But one day in church they played a video of one of the couples in a group and I told my husband that I recognized the hat the man was wearing. The logo was the same as one we saw on a van around the corner when we walked our dog (it turned out to be an organization he runs). For some reason that was the final nudge I needed to reach out and ask about joining a group. Our group is all couples, most of whom have small children. I was pregnant with our daughter when we joined, and several other couples have also had babies in the last year. They are amazing resources for parenting and life lessons as well as discussing scripture and Biblical topics. Our meal train game is also on point now after serving each other by providing dinners after people had a baby. We also feel more rooted in church with the friendships we’ve made. If your church organizes small groups and you haven’t joined one, pray about whether it is something to look into. It’s been a great experience for us.
