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.
Jesus’s love for the Church is expressed through the imagery of a perfect shepherd and his flock. Unlike the negligent shepherds who previously led God’s people, Jesus delights to search for, gather, and tend to His flock, even laying down His life for His sheep.
Discussion Question: How does the image of Jesus as the perfect shepherd caring for His flock, the Church, shape your understanding of the Church?
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.

The church is His flock and all are welcome. I think it’s so timely that we’re talking about the church right now with everything going on in our country. We all have differing opinions, values, and morals, but at the end of the day, we are one body, one flock, and one church.

We are in need of a shepherd, someone to lead us and guide us and keep us safe. Jesus is the only One who will show us the way as we walk together.

I feel convicted as a parent to be a better shepherd to my children.

We are so fortunate to be cared for by the Good Shepard! All of us with our strengths and weaknesses God will come and protect us. Together we will see an eternity of beauty, love and peace. Today’s readings are great reminders to remember and pray for the church of believers.

This reading shapes my understanding of the church by showing how Jesus is the Shepard of us all. Even though we may feel like our pastors are our shepards or earthly authority figures are our shepards, the only true Shepard is Jesus Christ. Amen.

I loved reading about one flock and one shepherd. What a beautiful reminder we are one flock!! Sometimes you can get caught up in what’s going on in the world and between Christians, that you can forget we are one flock! Also, love being reminder of Jesus, our shepherd going after the lost. This is very comforting as a parent with kids that have fallen away from God and church. Praying for God to rescue them and bring them back to their faith!
