To this day my year at Emmaus has been the best of my life so far. I am only twenty-four and I have had some good years since then but nothing will beat spending so much time inundated with God’s precious word with so few distractions. Jesus and his word are precious and worth spending all the time in the world on and spending all the breath in the world talking about. I am rooting for y’all for sure! Your ministry is so beyond valuable, and I am so stoked God has been keeping it going.
I was young when I went to Emmaus but everything has a time and place, and God put me there that year for many reasons that are clear to me now. With everything health-related I went through that year my faith would not be where it is today if I hadn’t done the school. I would never have met so many incredible people, including my dear friend Evan Hays. The list goes on, and I’m glad God put me there.
Carli Smith attended the Emmaus School of Biblical Studies 7 years ago. This week, we caught up with Carli to see how her life has changed after her year studying the scriptures at Emmaus.

The poetry of this book speaks from the reality of our world, not as it is hoped to be, but as it truly is. There is joy mixed with sorrow, praise held alongside pain, and despair mingled with hope. Collected within Psalms are prayers of orientation, disorientation, and new orientation.
