  <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to Three Chicks and a Bible — where we ditch the easy answers, roll up our sleeves, and wrestle with the hard stuff in Scripture. We're talking about the real questions, the messy parts, and what it looks like to follow Jesus. No fences. No filters. Just three women — Lori Roeleveld, Julie Coleman, and Stacy Sanchez — chasing after truth, beauty, and the wild, untamable Christ. We invite you to join us!</p>]]></description>
