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?

    Thank you Lord for the Holy Spirit that gives me guidance, strength, and comfort. It is so hard being in a world so full of evil. I don’t know what I would do without His spirit in me ❤️

    Being intentional to listen and be still. I don’t do this enough but when I do, He meets me. Every time ❤️

    By using your spiritual gifts instead of keeping them hidden

  5. Georgia Frimpong says:

    I want to learn to call on the Holy Spirit minute by minute, to treat others with the grace and kindness shown to me, and to share the miracle of Jesus with others.

  6. Anna Pearce says:

    Follow your dreams, and the calling God has for your life. Always with a faith that others can see.

  7. Caitlin Bieniek says:

    I think it would be interesting to seek him out during the mundane tasks of the day to day. To look for him in those moments

  8. Rachel Austin says:

    Individually, by immediately obeying the nudges from the Holy Spirit. In community, by celebrating and letting the spiritual gifts of others encourage and strengthen me, and seeking to use my gifts for the growth and encouragement of the body. Yes, the spiritual gifts can and should help us individually. But they are given for the growth of the church. Not for me to use for myself only.
