Sistas in Scripture: Recent Episodes
Glow, Lady T, and Mare Bear
It's the concept of a book club but with The Bible. A group of friends get together each week to discuss a Biblical story. We discuss what we got from the story weather good or bad. This Christian book club is not for the faint of heart nor the holier than though. We are displaying our vulnerabilities and truthfully discussing our faith and our doubts. The Bible stories we chose aren't always the ones you hear about in Sunday School. There are some commonly known stories, some lesser-known stories, and some stories so taboo it would put "Scandal" to shame. Enjoy.
