Welcome to the Journey Women Podcast. I'm your host, Hunter Beelis. Life's a journey we were never meant to walk alone. We all need friends along the way.

On the Journey Women Podcast, we'll chat with mentors about gracefully navigating the seasons and challenges we'll face on our journeys to glorify God.

Today, we're continuing our series, Knowing and Loving God with Greg Gilbert, the senior pastor at Third Avenue Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky.

He's the author of many books, but as you'll hear, I'm a faithful reader of the story of redemption Bible, which contains Greg's helpful commentary that explains how every part of Scripture fits together and is ultimately centered on Christ.

As we continue talking about Knowing and Loving God, it's so important that we lay a foundation for how we come to know Him through His Word.

We are so excited to talk with Greg about that very topic today, which if you've been around here for a while, you know is one of our favorites.

Before we go there, I want to share about the sponsors who helped make this episode possible. Moody Publishers, and dwell.

Hopefully by now, you've heard us talking about Dwell, an audio Bible app that we have fallen in love with here at Journey Women.

Their goal is to help you get in the Word and stay in the Word. They do this by offering several different inspiring voices, various Bible translations, and original background music, making it so easy and delightful to listen to Scripture.

Dwell makes it so easy to establish a daily habit of engaging with God through one of their many Bible listening plans.

For instance, with their straight through plan, you can actually listen to the entire Bible in a year at an average of 14 minutes a day.

Greg, welcome to the Journey Women podcast. Thanks, Henry. Great to be with you.

I got to tell you how I interfaced with you for the very first time. I actually picked up the story of redemption Bible by the ESV read every single one of your footnotes.

And then I realize that we have a mutual connection that tray and Kristen Richardson. Those are some of my dear friends from college and he actually worked at your church in Louisville.

Oh my goodness. Yeah, that's right. He did some stuff with our youth and college students and all kinds of volunteer work too. But yeah, that's cool.

He spoke so highly of you and actually I got a text from him today because I was saying I'm going to talk to Pastor Greg and he said that sitting under your faithful expository preaching for five years changed his life that he learned more about the Bible and God than ever in his life simply by being a part of your church.

Oh, that is he also went to seminarian as a pastor himself. So that is a high compliment.

That's amazing. It's amazing how small the world it is. It's totally well, I am super duper excited to talk about God's word with you today, especially because I learned so much from you via the story of redemption Bible, which is now tattered and torn.
