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, Rachel Myers.

And I'm your other host, Amanda Bible Williams. And friends,

this is the last podcast of 2024. We have been Women in the Word of God for a year together.

For a year. On the podcast. 52 episodes this year. Yes.

And lots of reading, lots of scripture.

In fact, we're going to talk some more about that a little bit later.

We have stats. We have data.

If you have been reading with us and you want to know how many verses of scripture you've read this year with She Reads Truth, we're going to be able to tell you.

It's exciting.

I love getting this. Our team is cool that they were like, we thought you might enjoy some data. And boy, do they know us.

Yes. We love some data. So we have great things ahead in store for this episode. And starting with,

I almost said but first, but really the great things start with week Week 5 of Advent. It is, it's Joy Week. It's Rejoice Week. We're in Christmas

Tide. If you're a church calendar gal, Christmas Day begins Christmas Tide. This is the first,

well, yesterday was the first Sunday of Christmas Tide. And we are rejoicing. We're looking, so we have

been in this Advent reading plan.

Since December 1, which is incredibly tidy.

So beautiful.

We have been reminding ourselves from Scripture.

We have been letting Scripture remind us that Jesus came to bring us hope, to bring us peace, to bring us joy, and to bring love. And to not only bring these things,

but to be these things. Yeah. And to show us how to be these things like him.
