Jen Wilkin has influenced my Bible study over the years probably more than anyone else. I used to be so frustrated by my lack of retention. Now I know I was not studying in a way that builds my Bible literacy. I have changed my ways and am reaping the benefits because of Jen! ❤️
Thank you!

This podcast has been so helpful as I prepare to lead summer Bible studies this year and last! Perfect timing! I don’t know where I could submit a question but I would love to hear ideas on balancing prayer requests with Bible study time. Thank you for being faithful in your teaching!
A Must Listen!

My feeling would be that, one who’s walking with the Lord, the Lord will “open your eyes”, so that you WILL be able to understand the Bible. 📖
