Join Stasi and Karen Christakis on today’s podcast for an inspiring conversation on the beauty and the power of the Bible. A deep lover of scripture, Karen shares how she doesn’t just read it; she lets it “read her.” Through her years of digging into His Word, God has used it to enlighten her to both Jesus’ heart and her own. Studying the Bible has been a doorway to growth, stretching, healing, experiencing God’s goodness, and deepening her love of our King. The Word of God is alive and active, and we are all invited to drink regularly from this Deep Well. Listen in and be encouraged to dive in yourself!
