Summary
This week, Jess Connolly joins the podcast to chat about the stories in our FINAL week reading People in the New Testament. We’re diving into big themes like eternity, conflict resolution, and the unsurprising messiness of Jesus’s own family. These stories will show us how to be people who hope in darkness, who consider the legacies we leave, and who are committed to extending generous grace to one another.
Open your Bibles with us this week! This episode corresponds to Week 5 of She Reads Truth’s People in the New Testament reading plan. You can read with the She Reads Truth community on our site, in our app, or with our People in the New Testament printed or digital Daily Reading Guide.
