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, Amanda Bible Williams.

And I'm your other host, Rachel Myers,

and this is week four of five weeks of people in the New Testament, loving this series,

loving it as a follow-up to the people in the Old Testament series. We are almost done. And this

week is such a good week. You'll see why in a minute. We are joined today in the studio by Tim Waldsmith.

This is his third time in the studio with us.

He is an ordained pastor and writer who is best known for his popular YouTube channel that he created to help people find a Bible that's right for them and apply it to their lives.

Tim is smart.

And that is just this beautiful mix that we have found in this friend of ours. His first book,

Bible Translations for Everyone, was released in 2024. And he has a new book coming out this fall

through the Bible. Y'all, this episode is such a fun one. It went really fast for us, and I hope

But last time you were here. We talked about Genesis. And it was Genesis Week 4. And then before that, you were with us for Galatians and Ephesians. So this is just kind of a different, we've been in books of the Bible. Now we're looking at character studies. I would love to know as a guy who loves scripture, studies it, works in it, works with it, writes about it. When you come across stories of people in the Bible, do you have any, like,

best practices or learns through your life of, like, how you interact with those stories or

how you even teach those stories? Yeah, I think the way that you guys have structured the book

with these questions for each person. Actually, I just started reading

for this week with Thomas. And then I got to the three questions. I was like, oh, this is really good.

It's not exactly what I do. Yeah. But it is definitely part of my process when, particularly for
