Discover Everything You Long For // Tara-Leigh Cobble

“Everything you long for in life—joy and peace and hope and guidance and freedom and love—all of those things are found in their richest most beautiful textures in him. They’re found in him. And everywhere else that you go and you look for them, it’s not going to come anywhere close to the joy and the love and the hope and the peace and the beauty that you find by getting to know him and reading his Word. Everything you’re looking for is in this daily relationship with him in his Word. Get after it!” — Tara-Leigh Cobble

Tara-Leigh Cobble is convinced that everything we long for in life is found in knowing God and reading his Word—but she didn't always feel that way. In today's episode, she shares with Natalie Abbot her own story of how God moved her from a place of not wanting to read the Bible to actually loving it. She talks about being surprised and encouraged by some totally weird parts of the Bible, and shares about her passionate commitment to helping people understand the Bible on The Bible Recap podcast and other resources. Tara-Leigh also shares some practical advice for people on the fence about reading through the whole Bible. It is such a great episode, you won't want to miss it!
