Summary

In this week’s episode, Krystal and Shelby chat with Kristen Wetherell about what to do when you don’t have a desire to read and study the Bible. A lack of a desire to be in the Bible is something we all experience from time to time. In this episode, Kristen shares some encouragement and tips on handling these difficult seasons from her new book, Help for the Hungry Soul: Eight Encouragements to Grow Your Appetite for God’s Word. She talks us through quiet time shame, creative ways to be in God’s Word, the miracle of loving Scripture, and more! The opinions of guests on the Daily Grace podcast do not represent the opinions of The Daily Grace Co., and we do not necessarily endorse the resources that they recommend or mention on the show. We believe it is valuable to hear from a variety of guests, even if we do not agree in all areas. As always, the statements made by hosts and guests on the show should be tested against God’s Word, the only authority on truth.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Grace Podcast. I'm Shelby. And I'm Crystal. We are a part of the content team here at the Daily Grace Co. And our mission is to equip disciples in the Word.
0:10.5	And every Tuesday, we share what we're learning from Scripture with you right here on the podcast, because we believe that deep Bible study, sound doctrine, and rich theology are not just for the seminary student or pastor,
0:21.6	but are accessible for all believers.
0:23.6	So whether you listen on the go or sitting down with pen and paper in hand, we hope
0:28.6	these conversations will teach you something new about God and His Word, and to remind you that the gospel changes everything.
0:40.2	We are so excited for the brand new Bible study that released at the beginning of January
0:42.1	from the Daily Grace Co.
0:43.3	It's titled, I Am, Who Jesus is Changes Everything.
0:48.3	I am is a four-week in-depth study
0:50.7	on the seven I am statements of Jesus.
0:53.9	Through this study, you will explore specific
0:55.9	Old Testament passages that connect to Jesus's statements before diving deep into what each
1:01.8	statement means. And that's really what sets this I am study apart from any other that you've
1:07.1	probably done before. As you study Jesus' words, you will grow in the knowledge of
1:11.6	who Jesus is and learn how who he is truly changes everything. You can do this study on your own
1:18.3	or will also be selling the group leader kit with it that comes with a group leader guide,
1:23.0	weekly videos, and weekly discussion guides as well. You can find out more about the IAM study on our website.
1:29.9	Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the Daily Grace podcast. This is Shelby and I'm here as always with
1:34.6	my friend and co-host Crystal. Hey Crystal. Hey, Shelby. And we have an amazing guest with us today
1:40.0	that we're really excited to introduce you to. We have Wetherill here. Hey, Kristen. We're so glad
1:45.7	to having us. Hello. It's so fun to be back with you. This is great. I know. Yes. We had a
1:51.7	brief conversation. Gosh, it might have been a year and a half ago-ish on Instagram live, but this is so much
