BY She Reads Truth

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.


The Holy Spirit fills and fuels the Church with God’s power to preach the gospel, serve others, repent from sin, and increasingly live in freedom.  

Discussion Question: In light of today’s Scripture reading, how can you live out the truth that we are empowered by the Holy Spirit?

    I am hung up on Acts 2, if it was the “last days” then…. I start to have doubt creep in.

    This message shows me that God has all of the answers to your questions. He might not answer them but he will lead you in the right direction. He is for us not against us and that is why he is such an awesome God!

    I can listen to it! So often I can feel nudges and it’s sometimes too easy to ignore them and do what I will instead. I can listen for those and respond!

  7. Leslie Rios says:

    When i feel like i am not enough, or don’t have what it takes, ask God if it is His will. If yes, trust the Holy Spirit to provide all that i need.

    I can live out the truth that we are empowered by the Holy Spirit by calling on Him to guide me throughout my day. I can ask Him to help me understand the Word and ask Him to help me pray.
