In light of the devastating Covid-19 situation and it’s significant impact on each of our lives, we can’t think of a more fitting woman to be apart of our “Best of Polished Podcast” series than with THE Beth Moore. Having dedicated herself to the study and practice of God’s word for decades, Beth Moore is the older sister in the faith we all need right now. Let us tell you. If you need to be reminded that reading the Scriptures really is worth it and that the God of the Bible is who He says He is, then this episode is for you. In today’s episode, Beth Moore shares about how she came to love the Scriptures, what it looks like to dedicate herself to her craft while prioritizing her family and the story behind her latest book, Chasing Vines. While this episode was recorded before the start of the pandemic, Beth Moore’s discussion with our host, Kat Armstrong, is so timely in this moment and full of the hope we need right now. We are so thankful to Beth for sharing her story and about the ways God continues to work in her life. We hope that Kat’s conversation with Beth Moore brings hope and a renewed curiosity for Scriptures to you wherever you are in your faith today.
