Growing Your Appetite for God's Word w/Kristen Wetherell | Ep. 269
In this week’s episode, Krystal and Shelby chat with Kristen Wetherell about what to do when you don’t have a desire to read and study the Bible. A lack of a desire to be in the Bible is something we all experience from time to time. In this episode, Kristen shares some encouragement and tips on handling these difficult seasons from her new book, Help for the Hungry Soul: Eight Encouragements to Grow Your Appetite for God’s Word. She talks us through quiet time shame, creative ways to be in God’s Word, the miracle of loving Scripture, and more!

As always, the statements made by hosts and guests on the show should be tested against God’s Word, the only authority on truth.
