I interact with a lot of women who want to teach the Bible, but something holds them back. They seem to be waiting for a different stage of life, waiting until they are invited, waiting for the right situation, waiting until the kids are grown, waiting until they know everything they think they need to know to be able to stand up and teach.
Not Jackie Hill Perry. Perry is an incredible person, a godly woman, and a really compelling Bible teacher. We talked about her mentors (“the Pipe”), her method (ask questions of the text), her tools (her phone), as well as her new book, Gay Girl, Good God, in which she says she is “leveraging my story so you can see the gospel rightly.”
Jackie Hill Perry will be leading a workshop on the topic of “Gay Girl, Good God “at our 2019 National Conference, April 1 to 3 in Indianapolis. Nancy Guthrie will be recording a live episode of Help Me Teach the Bible with David Platt. You can browse the complete list of 74 speakers and 58 talks. Register soon!
Free eBook by Tim Keller: ‘The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness’
Imagine a life where you don’t feel inadequate, easily offended, desperate to prove yourself, or endlessly preoccupied with how you look to others. Imagine relishing, not resenting, the success of others. Living this way isn’t far-fetched. It’s actually guaranteed to believers, as they learn to receive God’s approval, rather than striving to earn it.
In Tim Keller’s short ebook, The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness: The Path To True Christian Joy, he explains how to overcome the toxic tendencies of our age一not by diluting biblical truth or denying our differences一but by rooting our identity in Christ.
TGC is offering this Keller resource for free, so you can discover the “blessed rest” that only self-forgetfulness brings.
