A relentless pursuit of self-esteem can increase your confidence and soothe your emotions. And it can also ruin your Bible reading. We’re joined one last time with our guest, Jen Wilkin — wife, mom, Bible teacher, and author of the fabulous book Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Our Minds. Jen, you once tweeted this: “Women teachers, let’s shift the emphasis from ‘Girl, you are a precious daughter of the King’ to ‘Behold your King.’ Lift up their eyes.” That sounds like it’s right at the heart of your whole aim of what you’re trying to accomplish in equipping women to read their Bibles whole, from cover to cover. Expound on that tweet for us.
