What a blessing!!

Thank you so much for being a faithful servant of the Lord. I came across your teachings and book in 2018 and since then I have been teaching other women in my Spanish Church how to study God’s Word and it has been such a blessing. Our women are growing and desiring to know God more.
Thank you Jen

Love this podcast!

This is an informative and enjoyable podcast. It gives me much to think about and motivates me for deeper study of God’s Word.
Jen Wilkins is well spoken and knowledgeable and the interviewer, (Lauren?) is wonderful. She stays on track, is not silly, and has a style that speaks to my linear mindset.
