Hi, my name's Courtney Doctor, and I serve as the Director of Women's Initiatives at the Gospel Coalition.

And as followers of Jesus Christ, you know we're all called to go and make disciples,

which sounds simple enough, help others follow Jesus as they grow in their love and knowledge of Him.

But that doesn't mean it's easy.

Registration closes January 16th, so register today at TGC.org

podcast, we're talking with someone through a particular book of the Bible who is helping us,

equipping us to be prepared to teach that book.
