Christmas isn't only about the manger in Bethlehem. It's about the bigger story—one that stretches from Genesis to Revelation. The story of creation, fall, redemption and restoration. And at its center, the good news, as we read in John 1:14, is the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
At Christmas, we celebrate that truth—the Word became flesh. In the middle of all the gift-giving and celebrations, Scripture reminds us that the greatest gift has already been given. And that gift—the Bible tells us—is for you.
That's also the conviction behind She Reads Truth, a worldwide movement of women committed to opening their Bibles every day. Today, I'm joined by its co-founder, Amanda Bible Williams, who alongside Raechel Myers just released their newest devotional book, The Bible Is for You. In it, they take readers on a journey through every book of the Bible, connecting the dots in God's story of redemption.
So whether you're new to Scripture, or you've spent years in its pages, this conversation will encourage you to see Christmas—and the whole Bible—with fresh eyes. Because the story of Jesus isn't just ancient history. It's alive, it's unfolding—and it's for you.
