“To be able to look to Scripture in the dark times, and look to Christ in those dark seasons of my life, gave me hope that brought light into the darkness and really was just a foundation for me when it felt like the earth beneath me was shaken and shattering.” — Lauren McAfee
This month’s memory verse: “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” — Psalm 119:105
Today’s podcast: Have you ever walked through a season of darkness and longed for light? Today’s episode is a special one as we welcome back Dwell’s very first podcast guest, Lauren McAfee. She shares about how God’s Word has brought light in seasons of significant grief. We know you’ll be encouraged as you hear her passion for knowing God through his Word, what spending time in the Bible practically looks like for her, and how to discern which path to take when there is more than one good choice. We have one prayer for you (and us) this year: that we would be people who are in God’s Word—reading it, studying it, memorizing it, applying it, and letting it shape us—because it is from God himself and is for our flourishing as we come to know and love him more.
Today's Dwell guest: Lauren McAfee is a wife and mom who works at the Hobby Lobby corporate office and is currently pursuing a PhD in ethics. She is a speaker and an author, and is passionate about knowing and loving the Bible.
