“The heart cannot love what the mind does not know.”
― Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Our Minds
― Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Our Minds
“People don't want children to know what they need to know. They want their kids to know what they ought to need to know. If you're a teacher you're in a constant battle with mildly deluded adults who think the world will get better if you imagine it is better. You want to teach about sex? Fine, but only when they're old enough to do it. You want to talk politics? Sure, but nothing modern. Religion? So long as you don't actually think about it. Otherwise some furious mob will come to your house and burn you for a witch.”

“The key to enjoying wine isn’t just to guzzle a lot of expensive wine, it’s to learn about wine.”
― Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Our Minds
― Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Our Minds
“Bible literacy matters because it protects us from falling into error. Both the false teacher and the secular humanist rely on biblical ignorance for their messages to take root, and the modern church has proven fertile ground for those messages. Because we do not know our Bibles, we crumble at the most basic challenges to our worldview. Disillusionment and apathy eat away at our ranks. Women, in particular, are leaving the church in unprecedented numbers.1”
