The last thing that this site is about is me. I’d rather just be invisible. REALLY! But, when I’m reading something from another Bible teacher, I want to know a little about them. So I’m social! I share some things about my life on  Instagram ( Link! )  and  Facebook ( Link! ) and I have 8 Bible studies on Amazon (Link!)

But what I really want you to know about me is:

I know God because I know Jesus.

When I was in kindergarten, my teacher told our whole class that we needed to ask Jesus into our hearts if we wanted to go to Heaven. There was no fear of any kind, no hellfire – and brimstone tactic to scare me away from Hell. No walking down the aisle or raising my hand, or anything. I just prayed for Jesus to come into my heart.  I needed Him because I was separated from God, I needed Him as the one who died on the cross instead of me, I needed Him to raise me from being dead in my sins, I needed Him to live in me and make me a new creation.

1 John 5:11-13 gives me assurance of my salvation:

And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.  He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.  I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

So my eternal life started about 45 years ago! (Thank You Jesus!)

If you’re still reading, I’ll share with you that I grew up attending First United Methodist Church (Montgomery, AL) was baptized in First Baptist Church (Nashville, TN) and have attended The Shepherd’s Church (Cary, NC) since 1992. I have been married to Wade since December 27, 1986. God blessed us with our children Will and Emily and then added new family members with a sweet daughter-in-law Sarah, and we gained a “second son” when Emily married Chris.

And of course, I must mention our newest precious additions – our grandchilden! Claire, Caleb, and Brooks!

I have a degree in Economics from Auburn University (War Eagle!), and I have a Masters Degree in Biblical Literature from Shepherds Theological Seminary. My favorite classes in seminary were Hebrew and Theology. (I think my exposure to economic theories prepared me to process doctrinal truths!)

I have served at my church as the coordinator of MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers), as a student ministries leader, and as the coordinator of Women’s Bible Studies. I have been studying the Bible since high school, and have been teaching the Bible in one way or another for the past 25 years.

And yes, I go by “Elizabeth”… no nicknames!

Are you still reading?! Thanks for your interest! I hope you’ll check out my in-depth Bible studies here – and here on Amazon.
