On today’s episode of the Journeywomen podcast, I chatted with Amanda Bible Williams of She Reads Truth about all things Advent! We talked about everything from what Advent is, to what it means for us personally.⠀ ⠀ She said, “For me personally Advent serves kind of a dual purpose of remembering why I needed Jesus to come, why we need Jesus, and also, that he did, and how he did, and just to sort of take some time and spend some time in these Scriptures where we see that this was God’s plan. Since before the foundation of the earth this has been God’s plan. This was not an afterthought. This was God’s plan, and it is his love to us, to send his Son, to live the life we couldn’t live, to die the death that we deserve to die, and then to defeat death!” ⠀ ⠀ So you’ll know her a little better, Amanda likes words and books more than just about anything. As Chief Content Officer of She Reads Truth, Amanda spends her days happily rearranging sentences and explaining that her maiden name really is Bible. I can’t wait for you guys to hear from her today!⠀ ⠀ We also want to let you know Amanda and the @shereadstruth team are graciously gifting us 15% off any order of their Advent products by using the code JOURNEY15 at the checkout. Check out our highlighted stories for an inside peek! ⠀ ep. 78 | advent | @biblewilliams⠀
“The gospel frees us because it ushers us into an unhindered fellowship with the living God of all creation.” -Kelly Needham
“Jesus is living water. He is the bread of life. Only he satisfies my soul. We go to Christ and feast on him through the Word and through prayer and through fellowship with believers. Because if we’re doing that work in our own hearts, what will happen is you know, Jesus says to the woman at the well, ‘I give water to people,’ and it will become in them a fountain of water. That when we enjoy Christ, we actually end up with a wellspring, a fountain within ourselves. Now we can now not just go to friends for what they can give us, but we can go with what we have to offer them. We can come into friendships not to get something out of it, but to give something to it. Our concern then becomes not, ‘How can this person be a better friend to me?’ but we can begin asking, ‘How can I be a better friend to you?’” -Kelly Needham⠀ ⠀ ep. 77 | unhealthy friendships | @kellyneedham
A friendship cannot endure the weight of all our need to know and be known. God has placed that desire within us that we might be drawn to a deep knowing and being known relationship with him. When we rightly orient that desire around God, our friendships can breathe. We will no longer suffocate our friends with our neediness because our deepest needs have already been met in relationship with God.⠀ ⠀ ep. 77 | unhealthy friendships | @kellyneedham⠀
“The solution to all of our problems is what saints have been doing for thousands of years. We read the Bible and we pray and we meet with other believers in local churches. The answer is nothing profound.” -Kelly Needham⠀ ⠀ ep. 77 | unhealthy friendships | @kellyneedham⠀ ⠀ 📷: @laurenrund
