Hey friends, welcome to Girls Night. I'm Stephanie May Wilson and I am so happy that you're

here. Each week I have a girlfriend over and we talk through one of the biggest questions

we have about our lives as women. We're talking about friendships and faith and relationships

and self-confidence. About our calling in life and how to live every bit of our lives to

the absolute full. Life is so much better and easier and absolutely more fun when we navigate

it together as girlfriends and I cannot wait to get started. Today we're talking about

how to fall in love with reading the Bible. Now I'm so excited about this episode because

if you're anything like me, sometimes the reading the Bible feels more like it should

do than they get to. Do you ever feel that way? You know, we're told about the power and

the beauty of God's word which kind of puts this pressure on it to where we feel like

every time we pick up our Bible, we should immediately feel our lives changing or our

hearts transforming and we should enjoy every single minute we spend reading it. But I

think for a lot of us, sometimes the reality feels a little bit more like slogging through

a really long book with absolutely zero pictures and really thin pages, a book with a bunch

of names we can't pronounce, dates we can't remember and laws we can't make sense of.

Sometimes it feels more like a really hard history class than a chance to connect with

the God that loves us, right? I mean, okay, maybe that's just me but I have a feeling I'm

not alone here. But that's why I'm so excited about today's guest. Our guest for today

is Angie Smith. Now I've wanted to have Angie on the show for years now, partially because

she's hilarious and fun and the kind of person you just know you want to be friends with.

But mostly because she is the author of my all time favorite Bible study. It's called

seamless and in it Angie somehow finds a way to take us all the way through the Bible
