“…when a person turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is Spirit.”
— 2 Corinthians 3:16-18

Beyond the Show Notes
Meg and Shan share their notes for episodes, select research projects, and other written work as it relates to studying God’s Word.
Pain into Purpose
We’re Meg and Shannon. Two friends who each survived trauma, sought and found the Lord, and then ourselves.
Wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters in Christ we feel called to encourage other women to lean into God’s Word, to step into Truth, to see beyond the veil.
Our podcast episodes cover Biblical truth, spiritual warfare, worldly deception, and how, as women, we have an important role that helps shepherd our families and others to Jesus.
