I interact with a lot of women who want to teach the Bible, but something holds them back. They seem to be waiting for a different stage of life, waiting until they are invited, waiting for the right situation, waiting until the kids are grown, waiting until they know everything they think they need to know to be able to stand up and teach.
Not Jackie Hill Perry. Perry is an incredible person, a godly woman, and a really compelling Bible teacher. We talked about her mentors (“the Pipe”), her method (ask questions of the text), her tools (her phone), as well as her new book, Gay Girl, Good God, in which she says she is “leveraging my story so you can see the gospel rightly.”
Jackie Hill Perry will be leading a workshop on the topic of “Gay Girl, Good God “at our 2019 National Conference, April 1 to 3 in Indianapolis. Nancy Guthrie will be recording a live episode of Help Me Teach the Bible with David Platt. You can browse the complete list of 74 speakers and 58 talks. Register soon!

We need one another. Yet we don’t always know how to develop deep relationships to help us grow in the Christian life. Younger believers benefit from the guidance and wisdom of more mature saints as their faith deepens. But too often, potential mentors lack clarity and training on how to engage in discipling those they can influence.
Whether you’re longing to find a spiritual mentor or hoping to serve as a guide for someone else, we have a FREE resource to encourage and equip you. In Growing Together: Taking Mentoring Beyond Small Talk and Prayer Requests, Melissa Kruger, TGC’s vice president of discipleship programming, offers encouraging lessons to guide conversations that promote spiritual growth in both the mentee and mentor.
