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 this is week

one of our four week series on the Book of Judges. And we are pumped to start this series with you

all. And we have one of our favorite guests back with us today. Lydia Brownback is a Bible study

author and just student of the word. She is just a fun person to talk about God's Word with. She's

so curious about God's Word. She leans in to the hard parts or the questions. And she is so quick

to find Jesus in any part of Scripture. And it's just really fun to have her as our study buddy

for this first episode of Judges. Lydia is the author of the Flourish Bible study series with

Crossway. There are like a dozen of these books. I think at this point Ephesians was released not

long ago. And Jonah is going to be released in December. And she does have one on the Book of Judges.

So if at the end of our four weeks together, you want an even deeper dive into the Book of Judges.

Lydia is your girl. So without further ado, let's get right to the episode.

Lydia, welcome back to the She Reads Truth Podcast. This is your third visit or third

appearance as the wrong word. Visit works. Visit is good. Welcome back. It's so great to be back with

both of you. We were realizing before we hit record that so far, you have only been invited to be a

guest for Old Testament episodes. And so we owe you a New Testament episode after this.

Well, now I look forward to that. In the meantime, we've hit some challenging passages along the way

and had a great time talking about that. That's the truth. When I saw that your name was on the

list for today, I was so excited because I remember talking about Esther with you. And I remember

talking about Ezekiel with you and Lent last year. And so I mean, here we go. Let's go to Judges.
