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 is shaped, convicted, and encouraged by the teaching and sharing of God’s Word.

As you reflect on Scripture today, take time today to pray for brothers and sisters in Christ who are reading alongside you. Share what you are praying for the Church along with your response to the reading.

    I pray for the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace for our churches… that local church bodies would hold fast to the truth of the Word of God yet fight for unity through prayer, keeping the main thing (Christ Jesus & him crucified & resurrected) the main thing. I pray that our churches and the brothers and sisters within the churches would push Jesus as main thing, rather than pushing their political or social view on an issue of our day.

  2. Leslie Rios says:

    I pray to be faithful to attend church in person and that all believers who are able will too. I pray that I would say yes to the Holy Spirit when he prompts me to invite others to church.

  3. Emma Simmons says:

    I pray for the people who are going through this study but also for Christians that are surrounded by me and around the world that we can all lead more people to you and we can show your goodness to them!

    I echo Munchkin’s prayer, praying for the church to stand united. I also pray for courage and strength of conviction for all faithful followers, to stand for the truth of the Gospel at all costs. Too many people are turning away from the truth of God’s Word because they just don’t like what it says, and it’s true that the Bible is convicting of sin and sinful attitudes and behaviors. However, people too often give up on the Bible when they’re presented with something hard, casting it off as “Well, it’s just written by men,” instead of looking inside themselves at why they’re feeling convicted, and changing their ways. While yes, the Bible is written by men, 2 Timothy 3:16 tells us that it is inspired by God. I pray for all faithful followers of Christ to let that truth sink into their hearts daily and not give up on proclaiming the Word. Sola scriptura (not to discredit the other four solas, but we’re specifically talking about proclaiming the Word here.)

  5. Munchkin says:

    I pray that the Church stand united. We are so divided right now, and we need to stand together, and not let the things of the world distract us.

  6. Saicha Crawford says:

    Hello She’s! I prayed for you all and the Church today as we read this plan together. I pray that God reveals Himself to us daily as we read His Word.

  7. Cindy Hanna says:

    A wild jump of joy leaps in my heart every time I read the Luke passage of Jesus’s standing up and reading about himself from the scroll of Isaiah.

  8. Katie Fleming says:

    The verses from 2 Timothy really struck me this morning. With everything going on in the world right now, I find myself drawn much more to actually studying the word and learning more about the verses than taking them at face value. I am praying that others will do the same and continue to deepen their understanding of these words.
