Maybe you've heard someone say something like, yeah, I like the God of the New Testament.

He's loving, he's kind, he's gracious, but I don't know about the God of the Old Testament.

He seems pretty harsh and judgmental.

Maybe you've even had some of those thoughts, and as a result, you don't have any great interest in reading all of the Bible.

Well, if that's true, or if you know someone like that, I want to implore you, set aside the next half hour and listen to the story of Jennifer Smith.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgermouth, author of A Place of Quiet Rest.

For December 1st, 2025, I'm Dana Gresh.

Right now, I'm in the middle of a huge undertaking.

It actually is something that I've wanted to do

for a very long time, and that is to teach through the entire Bible. I'm doing it in 260 half-hour

programs. And Lord willing, you'll be able to hear those programs in 2027 and join many women who are

all studying the Bible together in many different languages.

That year-long series will be called Wonder of the Word.

We don't have a big audience for these recording sessions, mostly just a handful of our production

staff.

But there's one woman who has been in almost every recording session.

Her name is Jennifer Smith.

And it took a lot of courage for her to even begin attending the recording sessions when we started with the book of Genesis.

That's because when Jennifer heard portions of the Old Testament, it was a trigger that reminded her of painful memories.

But when Jennifer committed to study the Bible, beginning with the Old Testament, the Lord met her in her pain and began a healing process that has been beautiful to behold.

And it continues to this day.

Here's Jennifer's story.
