What Does the Word Tell Us About God? (Part 2)

Show Notes: Episode 4 What Does the Word Tell Us About God? Part 2 In part 2 of Episode 4, Traci and Krysta share how focusing only on what the Word says about ourselves can leave us vulnerable to self-made religion and the enemy's attacks. A simple, yet profound shift in how one seeks God in His Word brings light to the darkest hours. Krysta shares a personal story of how God brought her out of a dark season into the light and encourages sisters everywhere to understand that God can and will overcome any darkness they might encounter. Lastly, our hosts encourage listeners to share their burdens with trusted others who will pray for and encourage them through tough times. Topics covered in this episode: • Why it is important to cultivate relationships with other Godly women and to seek the support and prayers of those we trust. • Thought-provoking questions about the patterns of our daily life and study of God's Word. • The challenges and pitfalls of looking only to what the Bible says about "me." • Lessons learned from dark seasons and the hope God provides through prayer, scripture, and community. • How asking "What Does the Word Tell Me about God?" is the key to sound interpretation, application, and hope.
