Do you ever careen into the Christmas season? Maybe arrive at the Christmas Eve service sweaty? Saying to yourself, “Quick! Be peaceful and contemplative and remember what this season is all about!” Then this is the conversation for you (and for me). My guest today is Amanda Bible Williams. Yes, that is her real name and of course I sure did ask her about it. You might know Amanda for her beautiful work at She Reads Truth, the collective that’s been going strong for fourteen years. Amanda and her team have steeped themselves in how to not just acknowledge Advent and the arrival of Christmas but how to truly savor it. Advent begins December 1 this year, so we are chatting in plenty of time to avoid the sweaty candlelight service. 

Happy news! Amanda and her team have offered listeners of For Real a special discount for their advent resources. Go to SheReadsTruth.com and use the code KIMBERLYS15 for 15% off your order. Offer good through January 5, 2025.

Amanda Bible Williams is co-founder of She Reads Truth, a brand that creates beautiful, accessible Bible reading plans and resources that help women read God’s Word every day. She is also the editor of the She Reads Truth Bible and co-host of the She Reads Truth Podcast. Amanda, her husband David, and their four children live in a loud and lively farmhouse just south of Nashville, Tennessee.
