I'm Hey friends, welcome back to Truth Talks with Tara, a weekly podcast where we dive into all of your questions about scripture and how we can actually know love and live God's word practically in our day-to-day lives,

whether we're moms, wives, 9-to-fivers, entrepreneurs, all of the things.

And today, I know I say I'm excited every day and every episode, but like this is really fun

because this is not only a friend that's already been on the podcast, but it's a friend

that I have had the pleasure

of getting to be with in person and hang out and laugh with and eat snacks in our pajamas

and all of the things. It's my friend McKella, and we are here to celebrate her newest book,

but also just talk about all the things about Bible study and ways to study scripture

when life is busy and Bible translations and all the things, all the things about Bible study and ways to study scripture when life is busy and Bible

translations and all the things, all the practical goodness that you guys are going to need

to have that time with Jesus. So before we get into it, Michaela, thanks for being back on

the show. Can you introduce yourself and share a little bit about who you are, what you do,

and I want to hear a favorite

thing that you're loving in this season.

I am so excited to be here.

Tara and I have been friends for a while, and I'm just super excited because I love everything

Tara does.

I love you.

Yeah, so my name is McKella.

I'm actually a mom of five kids, wife to Jamie. We live in New Hampshire. And I actually run a ministry called Chasing Sacred, which teaches women how to study the Bible using specifically the inductive Bible study method. I went off to get my master's in theology. And when I did, I just took this class called Hermannutics, which is about how to study the Bible.

And I was blown away by what I learned.

So basically, through that class, I started to be super passionate about teaching others how to study the Bible.
