| 0:00.0 | 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. |
| 0:17.8 | And I'm your other host, Rachel Myers, and y'all, we are in the |
| 0:20.9 | prophets now. This is week five of This is the Old Testament. We are joined today in the studio by our |
| 0:26.6 | friend Matt Smallbone. Matt is the lead pastor at Church of the City in downtown Nashville, |
| 0:31.1 | and happens to have a great book that just released back in April called The Prayer Experiment. |
| 0:35.8 | We'll talk a little bit about that this episode, |
| 0:37.7 | but primarily we're going to talk about some major and minor prophets this week. I love this |
