The Gathering Place, a Podcast from Blessed is She

In this episode we talk all about the heart being the place of encounter with God. If you aren't sure where to even begin, begin by looking at the God-Man on the cross who died for you.

Scripture nourishes our daily lives, so we read it to learn and listen to the sound of His voice every single day. Let's talk all about how we read the Word, why it matters, and what to do when it gets hard. This season of the Gathering Place is all about our Core Values at BIS, one of whi...

It's important to remember that our Good Shepherd calls us to lie down in green pastures (Ps 23:2). Sometimes rest feels like a reward and sometimes rest feels out of reach. What does it usually take for you to feel rested? When's the last time you felt that way? We can't wait to ch...
