Join host Mandy Crow as we finish up our Summer 2025 theme, relax, with a short meditation on Sabbath and what it means for us as believers. This week, we're praying you rest in God as your provider, the source of your salvation and trust Jesus, who is your eternal Sabbath rest.

As we conclude our 2025 Summer Reading Plan, Mandy Crow guides us through the major themes of our Week 3 study of 2 Peter 3, offering insight and questions as we meditate on God's Word together.

We're celebrating Austen in August here at The Bookery with our August 2025 book club pick, Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey. Join host Mandy. Crow and her friend, Mindy, as they discuss the novel, Jane Austen, the benefits of audio books and a few Bookery Bests.

As we complete Week 2 of our 2025 Summer Reading Plan, The Bookery's founder checks in with the community, recapping and seeking to apply what we've learned in this week's study of 2 Peter 2.

A short check-in as The Bookery community completes Week 1 of our 2025 Summer Reading Plan, "Steadfast: Reminders for Faithful Living in an Unbelieving World," a study of 2 Peter. In this episode, Mandy Crow draws out a few big points from the week's reading and asks a few introspective application questions designed to help you better engage with what you've learned.

As we continue to delve into our Summer 2025 theme, "Relax," The Bookery's founder, Mandy Crow, guides us in a short meditation on Philippians 4:6-8. The peace and rest God promises us doesn't mean the hard things disappear, but rather that his peace covers us and helps us to shift our gaze from our circumstances to his goodness.

In this episode, The Bookery founder, Mandy Crow, chats with her friend, Alisha Russell, about Matt Haig's latest novel, The Life Impossible. The book Haig described as his "least realistic" but "most true" delves into topics like grief, escapism and what it truly means to live life—and, yeah, things get a little weird and supernatural here and there. Mandy and Alisha discuss the themes, what the book helped them to learn and share a few favorite quotes and scenes before sharing their Bookery Bests.

The Bookery's Summer 2025 theme is "Relax," so we're delving into what that really means for us spiritually with this short meditation on Matt. 11:28-30. We can feel weighed down by a sense that we're just not good enough and just need to try harder, but Jesus calls us to a different way of life. The freeing, real rest he offers us can only be found in Jesus, and it's time to take him at his word.
