A Shepherded Flock

John 21:15-17, Matthew 20:20-28, Ephesians 4:11-14, 1 Peter 5:1-5, Acts 6:1-6, Acts 20:28-31, 1 Timothy 3:1-13, Proverbs 11:14, Titus 1:5-9, Hebrews 13:7, Hebrews 13:17, 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13

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.


Christ calls believers to tend, care for, guide, and serve the Church. Leaders are called to a high standard of character and behavior as undershepherds responsible to Christ for how they care for His sheep. 

As you reflect on Scripture today, take time today to pray for both the character and the endurance of your brothers and sisters in Christ who are serving your local church. Share what you are praying along with your response to the reading.

    That our Church leaders stay true to spening and acting on God’s Word, lead by the Holy Spirit and with Grace and Mercy always modeled.

    This is such a challenging reading as we see the fallen humanity on display in many large churches. May we grieve with the hurt, pray for repentance, offer forgiveness, and apply Biblical standards in raising up leaders and discerning who to follow. I feel a burden to pray for our church leaders more than ever.

    I’m praying for you MICHELLE PATIRE. I definitely can relate to how you are feeling and I know, as I know you know, that our God is greater than these chains. God is our ever present help in times of trouble.

    So much packed into todays reading…..Peter will demonstrate his love for Jesus by loving God’s people and feeding them his word. Jesus himself will give his life for ransom, the price of release for many. “In place of” signifies the exchange of Jesus’ life on the cross for all those who accept his payment for their sins. “You will indeed drink my cup” ones divinely determined destiny, whether blessing, disaster, salvation, or wrath. Here it refers to the fore coming suffering on the cross. Stephen became the first Martyr
    Paul labors to see people saved, coming to faith, and knowledge of truth. Godliness is the true gospel. Brotherly love= relationships in the church, marked by love are the fruit of faith. Appreciate and respecting our Leaders, Elders of the church. God had promised eternal life and God never lies. Life, Hope, and Faith.

    I’m asking for the protection and uplifting of the people who attend church, who lead in the church, and provide the next generation with much needed knowledge and guidance.
