Friends, we are just so excited to introduce you to Kristy Cambron! Kristy is an author who writes both fiction and non-fiction (a rare talent, for sure). It's not often you can read award-winning fiction and engage the Biblical text in deep study with the same author.  But Kristy does both, using her aptitude for research to create engaging stories and thorough Bible studies. We love what she's doing, and we're pretty sure you'll love her too.Give today's episode a listen, to hear more about her story as we discuss our verse of the month:  f o r // y o u // w e r e // o n c eD A R K N E S Sb u t // n o w // y o u // a r eL I G H Ti n // t h e // l o r d.l i v e // a s // c h i l d r e n // o f // l i g h tEPHESIANS 5:8Want to read Kristy's latest book, or find out more about her verse mapping Bible and studies?

How exactly do you encourage others? And what about taking it one step further; how do you encourage others in the Lord, making disciples!?Tracy is the girl to help us unpack these questions! During today's episode, we dig into the  context of our verse in order to get to the practical application. We take a look at Paul's example of encouraging others.
