Welcome to the Grace Lace podcast.

I am so excited to share today's bonus episode with you.

My name is Eve Steipes, and back in September, I had the privilege of moderating a conversation between my co-host, Ruth Joe Simons, and Bible teachers Jen Wilkin

and Jada Edwards, all as part of the Pilgrim Stories event. This was a in-person book-launch

celebration in Dallas, Texas. We gathered to sing hymns, talk a little theology, focus on the

character of God, laugh a lot, and reflect. And today,

you get to hear a small part of it. We're so grateful for the team at Eastside Community Church

for capturing this audio. And we'd be remiss to not include a special shout-up to Marisa Martinez

for making sure it happened. Thank you for having our

back, girl. So, friend, grab a cup of coffee and maybe a pen and a journal to jot down some notes.

Ruth and I hope you enjoy today's special bonus episode of the Grace Lice podcast.

Well, we are so honored tonight to have a few women join Ruth on stage.

And for most of you, they need no introduction.

But let me tell you a little bit about the ministries.

Will they go ahead and get settled.

Jen Wilkin is an author and world-renowned Bible teacher from Dallas, Texas.

She has organized and led studies for women in home church and parochurch contexts.

She's an advocate for Bible literacy, and her passion is to see others become articulate and committed followers of Christ with a clear understanding of why they believe what they believe.

Jada Edwards is an experienced Bible teacher, author, and speaker who has committed her life to equipping women of all ages with practical biblical truth.

Alongside her husband, the senior pastor, she serves as the women's pastor and director of creative services.

That is a title girl. At one community church in Plano, fueled by commitment to discipleship,

she's dedicated her life to equipping women of all ages with practical biblical truths.
