For the third and final week of our Kingdom of God series, we hear from Amanda and Raechel’s guest Lysa TerKeurst—an author, speaker, and Bible teacher. Together, they untangle topics like pursuing holiness and how to think biblically about the inclusive and exclusive nature of the gospel. Lysa shares her personal journey with forgiveness and how the act of forgiving those who’ve hurt us is “one of the most beautiful evidences of being a citizen of the kingdom of heaven.” During this hour, we learn about the true meaning of the gospel: it is an invitation into a new way of being and a new God-given identity.

Join Raechel and Amanda for the second week of The Kingdom of God reading plan with singer, songwriter, and author, Ellie Holcomb.

It’s our second week in 1 Thessalonians! Raechel and Amanda read the rest of the apostle Paul’s letter with Jonathan Pitts, a pastor, author, and father of four. Having walked through his own season of grief recently, Jonathan speaks to the believer’s hope that death is not final and every loss will find its resurrection in Jesus. From Paul’s instructions (or “four-word sermons”) on practical holiness, to his beautiful benediction, the three friends discuss how we are called to live lives of daily faithfulness that ring out for Christ until the day we are united with Him. They also celebrate the reality that He who calls us is faithful—He will do what He has promised!Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 2 of the She Reads Truth 1 & 2 Thessalonians reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com.
