Hello everyone and welcome to the Graceology with Gwen Smith podcast.

I'm Gwen Smith and I am so glad you've joined me today.

Around here we have fun, faith-focused, grace-filled conversations, all to help you know and trust God more.

Our discussions are honest, often humorous, and always practical, and they're

going to encourage you in meaningful ways to live out and lean on the grace of Jesus in the

midst of cluttered, messy days. You got any of those? I know I do, and I can't wait to get to

today's conversation, which is all about finding

hope in God through His Word.

My guest today is author, speaker, and longtime friend Pam Farrell.

Pam has recently collaborated in a series of comprehensive Bible studies, and in today's

episode, she shares a few stories and unpacks some ways that reading

and studying the Bible can calm feelings of overwhelm and carry us through times of doubt

and seasons of strain. Because without question, you guys, there are times in life when we face

one challenge after another. Times of stress and struggle that leave us wondering how we can know the hope and joy of Jesus.

And maybe that's even you right now.

In our conversation today, Pam talks openly about some of her personal struggles,

and she gives us some practical strategies that are going to help you to hear the voice of God

over all those other voices that are vying for your attention.

And she also shares how the power of praise can lead you to the steadfast love and strength of God that you need

so that you can face whatever comes your way.

Thank you. ever comes your way. Pam Farrell, I am so excited to have you on the Graceology show today.

Hey, I'm one of your fans. I love listening to Graceology. You have some wonderful guests.
