Do you want to be a witness, stand for the Truth, step out of your comfort zone, and experience spiritual growth? Do you want to share the Good News of Jesus and what He has done in your life but are a little apprehensive about speaking boldly about Him to other people? Or maybe you have conversations with a friend or family member, and they ask hard questions about your faith, and you don't feel adequate in your Biblical knowledge to respond? If that is you, you are not alone, and you are in the right place, my friend! My name is Missy Eversole, and I'm a wife, mom, author, speaker, Colson Fellow, and a friend who loves to grab a cup of coffee, sit around the table and talk about Jesus. For years, I didn't have the courage to speak boldly about my relationship with Jesus because I felt inadequate. In my mind, no one would care about what I'd have to say if I didn't have a degree in theology. But here's what I've learned: you don't need a theology degree to be the light for Jesus! I'm here to encourage you with practical tips and applications to help you be bold in your faith and give you the daring confidence you need to…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-20T16:19:52.924874+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bold-faith-now-where-faith-meets-courage-6654387"},"episode":{"title":"116 - The Hidden Beauty of the Hebrew Alphabet with Lauren Crews","slug":"116-the-hidden-beauty-of-the-hebrew-alphabet-with-lauren-crews","published_at":"2026-06-15T12:53:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bold-faith-now-where-faith-meets-courage-6654387/116-the-hidden-beauty-of-the-hebrew-alphabet-with-lauren-crews","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bold-faith-now-where-faith-meets-courage-6654387","url":"https://missyeversole.com/podcast/","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/0fe3bcbe-5f86-4f87-a2ec-7ff7ba1b6cfc/116_-_Lauren_Crews.mp3?dest-id=4145004","summary":"Have you ever wondered what you might be missing when you read Scripture through only an English, Western lens? In this episode of the Bold Faith Now podcast, Missy chats with Lauren Crews, author of Word Made Flesh: Echoes of Faith in the Hebrew Alphabet. Lauren takes a topic that can feel intimidating — the Hebrew alphabet — and makes it approachable, devotional, and exciting. Through word pictures, biblical imagery, and simple examples, Lauren helps us see how the Hebrew language can deepen our understanding of Scripture and point us more clearly to Jesus. From the meaning behind the letter Aleph to the beauty of Shalom, this conversation is full of \"aha\" moments that will make you want to slow down, open your Bible, and linger with God's Word. In this episode, Missy and Lauren discuss: Why Hebrew is a pictographic language and how each letter carries meaning and imagery. How the Hebrew alphabet points to Jesus through pictures of strength, sacrifice, covenant, and peace. Why Bible study does not have to be intimidating or overly academic. How slowing down with Scripture helps us move beyond checking a box and into a deeper relationship with God. You do not have to be a scholar to dig deeper into God's Word. Start small, slow down, look up a word, and ask the Lord to open your eyes to the beauty already waiting in Scripture. Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!
