| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the She Reads Truth podcast. She Reeds 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, Amanda Bible Williams. And I'm your other host, Rachel Myers, and you guys, it is |
| 0:21.1 | Lent Week 1. Here we are. Here we are. You may or may not know, you're about to find out, |
| 0:26.7 | we are going to be opening the book of Isaiah for Lent. And so today we open the book of Isaiah. |
| 0:32.5 | I'm so excited to be studying Isaiah for Lent. And just for any of you who's kind of raising your |
| 0:37.2 | little church calendar question, yes, Lent. And just for any of you who's kind of raising your little, |
| 0:42.0 | like, church calendar question, yes, Lent doesn't actually begin until Wednesday, Ash Wednesday, this week, but you know we release our podcast on Monday. So for us, Lent starts today. |
| 0:46.6 | Today. Hey, y'all, we are joined today in the studio by Christine McClelland. And I am just |
| 0:53.2 | beside myself with gratitude that she was our week one guest because |
| 0:57.4 | she is so good at the Bible. Can I just say good at the Bible? I think that's a great way to say. |
| 1:03.2 | Christy is, and here's kind of bio-information, Christy is a professor at Williamson College, best-selling |
| 1:08.1 | author of Rediscovering Israel, Jesus and Women, the Gospel on |
| 1:12.3 | the Ground, and Luke in the Land, and a bunch of other things. Also, she studied in Egypt and |
| 1:17.6 | Israel back in 2007, and since then has been leading trips to Israel. And so this girl knows |
| 1:23.6 | not just her Bible, but her Bible in the context of the land. And so that's going to play into |
| 1:28.3 | this conversation in a really neat way. She has a new book that just came out in January |
| 1:32.9 | called Feasting on God's Word. We'll link to that in the show notes along with a couple |
| 1:36.9 | other things of hers, but that actually plays into the conversation as well. And so really, |
| 1:42.2 | all I have to say is, let's get right to it. |
| 1:46.5 | Okay, so, Christy, I love it that you came into the office this morning and you were like, |
| 1:51.3 | and you said a phrase that I've never actually heard before. You said, Isaiah is my huckleberry. |
| 1:56.2 | Oh, that's from Tombstone, my friend. I don't know what that means. That's a line from the movie Tombstone. |
| 2:01.2 | I'm going to need to unpack that line and then tell me why Isaiah is your Huckleberry. |
