Hello and welcome to the She Reads Truth podcast. She reads Truth creates beautiful, accessible Bible reading plans and resources to help you get into God's Word every day.

Each week here on the podcast, we talk about what we're going to read together as a community this week.

I'm your host, Amanda Bible Williams. And I'm your other host, Rachel Myers, and this is

week five of our six-week study of the Book of Acts. I am loving this study. This week we are

joined in the podcast studio by our friend and yours, Tim Wildsmith. Tim is a pastor, a writer,

a content creator whose videos on YouTube have generated millions of views helping countless people around the

world make informed, meaningful decisions about the Bibles they buy and the way they engage with

Scripture. We love this. Including me. I'm one of the millions. That's exactly correct. Tim just

released a book back in November, the Daily Scripture Guidebook. Y'all are going to want that. We'll

link to it in our show notes. It's such a helpful approach to reading scripture. And you know that aligns perfectly with everything that we love. He also just started this month a companion podcast that you can find anywhere you can find podcasts. Y'all, this episode is great. No one is surprised. Let's get right to it. Welcome back to the podcast, Tim Wildsmith. So happy to

have you. Glad to be here. Y'all, here's why I like having Tim on the podcast, because, I mean,

we were just praying. And we were just like, Amanda was saying, like, thank you for our brother.

And that is just how you feel to me and Amanda. It really is. Like we feel so aligned with you in just like our passion, not just for God's word for ourselves,

but like that first and foremost, but just how can we winsomely invite others to engage God's

word, to love God's word, to be changed by God's word.

And it feels like in meeting you, maybe in the last two years, it feels like we have another person that we're just link in arms with. And that just, it feels so good. Yeah. Thank you very much. We're grateful for you. It's really, really sweet of you to say that. It means a lot. Well, and I mean, I look at, you know, we always get our little piece of paper before a guest comes of like, here's all the times that they've been with you before. We had dimmed twice in 25. Let's go. And then once at the end of 2024. But I was also looking at, so you were with us most recently last summer. And it was for like people in the New Testament, I think. And then I was like thinking, well, shoot, did we actually inadvertently overlap? Like, who did we talk about? Do you have any memory of who we actually talked about? I remember we talked about doubting Thomas. Okay. We talked about. Oh, yeah, we did. I had a moment on that podcast where I was like, I'm going to break the fourth wall and speak to the people listening about doubt and stuff like that. And I listened to it back because you guys record these in advance. So like it came out. I was listening to it. And I started crying at my own self. Really? I was like, oh, because in the moment I was like something hit me. Yeah. And I was being pretty vulnerable. Yeah. And yeah, it was. And the spirit was

ministering to others through you and to you. That happens. That's cool. I just think that is yet

another proof of the reality of the Holy Spirit and his presence with us. And because I'm just,

we're not that good, right?

Yeah.

Like, yes, we have gifts and I'm not trying to be self-deprecating.

I'm just saying that only God.
