It’s the first week of Advent! Raechel and Amanda kick off the reading plan with good friend, speaker, and New York Times bestselling author, Annie F. Downs. The three discuss the theme of light in Scripture, starting with Jesus’s declaration as the Light of the World and trace the metaphors for light through the narrative of the Bible. Join along as they dive deeper into how Christ, the everlasting light, shines in the midst of the darkness that surrounds us. Read with Us: This episode corresponds to Week 1 of the She Reads Truth Advent 2021: The Everlasting Light reading plan found on the She Reads Truth app and SheReadsTruth.com. Shop the Advent 2021: The Everlasting Light at ShopSheReadsTruth.com. Show notes can be found at shereadstruth.com/podcast/advent-week-1-with-annie-f-downs
