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, Rachel Myers. And I'm your other host, Amanda Bible Williams, and this is week six of seven in our series.

This is the Old Testament.

We are surveying the Old Testament books and having a great time.

What do you think, Rachel?

I'm loving this.

I love this episode.

It was so fun.

Our friend Terry Parkman is here.

Terry is a friend of the podcast. He's the global

ministries pastor at River Valley Church in Minneapolis. He also serves globally with one hope

and with empowered 21 next gen. And I'll tell you what, he is the kind of guy that you can read the

Bible with and say, hey, Terry, what do you think of Obadiah? Yeah. And he'll tell you. Yeah. And he has an answer to that. And we did that a few times this episode, just tossed him. And he just hit a triple, double, home run every time. He is, Terry is a faithful handler of the Word of Truth. That's what it feels like. And so having that conversation with him, I can't wait for y'all to hear it. Let's get right to it.

Listen, I left my headphones at home and so I asked my staff, which is pretty much all female, if they had any over-the-head headphones, I know they have some black ones and gray ones, but they chose to bring me the pink ones. Yeah, they did. So here am I fully secured in my masculinity. That's right. Here we go. It is the Sherey Truth podcast, and we appreciate your effort to just blend right in.

That's right. That's right. I'm on. I'm on Friday. You are. You are. Okay. Well, hey, you are here to talk

minor prophets with us. Last week, Matt Smallbone was with us and we just like toe dipped. Like we just

talked about Jose and Joel, which was, like, toe-dipped. Like, we just talked about Hosea and Joel,

which was, I love both of those books. This week, we're going to get to dig into Amos Obadiah,

Jonah, Micah, and Nahum. We'll probably just go in order because that just makes, that's so orderly of us.

And I'm just curious, Terry, like, when you saw that lineup, like, was there one that made you, like, excited to talk about? Honestly, I love the Jonah and Nahum duality. You know, you have, like, it's the same city, but very different outcomes. I also love Amos because he's kind of gangster. He's like, I'm a shepherd. I'm not trying

to be anybody's prophet, but here's the word of God. And he just kind of lets it rip. And honestly,
