On this episode of the She Reads Truth podcast, founders Reachel Myers and Amanda Bible Williams, and She Reads Truth content director, John Greco, go in-depth about the tension of the “already and not yet” of the gospel. How do we find beauty in brokenness? How does God enter into our trials? How do we give thanks when we are suffering? Amanda, Raechel, and John talk about the first Thanksgiving and how the holiday has been a delicate dance of celebration and sorrow from the start. Amanda remembers what it felt like to give thanks while her 4-year-old son was on life support. And the group discusses the right-now and future hope we have in Jesus. Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 2 of the She Reads Truth Mourning & Dancing reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com. Mourning & Dancing Study Book Open Your Bibles: (passages referenced in this episode) Matthew 9:14–17John 14:18Ecclesiastes 3:1–8John 56:8Acts 16:25Revelation 21:3–5Psalm 56:8Colossians 1:13John 6:68Genesis 50:201 Thessalonians 5:16–18John 16:20Other Links: Who Was at the First Thanksgiving?
