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 Church was established by Jesus, is sustained by Jesus, and rests on Him as its foundation.

Discussion Question: In light of today’s reading, how can you live out the truth that we are the people of God? 

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 can live out the truth that I belong to Christ by being peaceful. When the world is in turmoil and everyone else is full of anxious worries, I can show the Peace of God the transcends all understanding. I can use peaceful language and ask that the Lord help His peace shone through me like a light to others.

  2. Emily Wilson says:

    I came up with a couple of points! Show love, grace and patience. Treat people equally. Ask myself what Jesus would do in a situation that I need help with.

  3. Georgia Frimpong says:

    We can live out the truth that we are the church by dying daily to our sins and asking Christ to work through us each day.

  4. Iman Bolden says:

    I can rest assured that he has a plan for his people and move confidently in what he calls us to! He hasn’t just called me but all of his people.

  5. Cindy Hodges says:

    I am so thankful for God’s Grace! I try to love others and show grace the way God loves me and shows me grace. It can be hard for sure, but I keep working at it each day.

  6. Brandy Deruso says:

    Let Jesus be your rock your foundation!

  7. Leoleen Peduche says:

    We can live out the truth that if we are the people of God if we, like Peter, confess that Jesus is the Son of the Living God, the rock on which our foundations were laid.

  8. Melinda Capaldi says:

    “I will make you a light…that my salvation will reach the ends of the earth.” He has given us the message of reconciliation to take to the earth in his name. This is encouraging, convicting, and challenging for me! I long to bring this message of reconciliation on his behalf and in a world so divided, I struggle to do that well. He’s been teaching me that I don’t need to CONVINCE others that he is good, I need live out his love towards others while allowing His love for me and my love for him to be known.
