May/June 2019

I love Jen’s approach to teaching the Bible and learning while teaching the text. Her ministry to women and the church has been hugely influential, and I love that we got to feature her this month.

“Wilkin flatly rejects the notion that deep knowledge of Scripture is best left to adults a ‘experts.’ ‘A child who is capable of reading is capable of reading the Bible,’ she insists.”

“Wilkin wants to help put the necessary study tools in every believer’s hands. If our spiritual nourishment depends on our biblical “diet”, Wilkin sees her ministry as teaching people to “cook from scratch.” theologically. Topical studies, like pre-prepared meals, can have a place in our spiritual diet, but there is no substitute for a deep knowledge of nutritious whole foods, We may not all be Michelin-star chefs, but we all need to know how to feed ourselves.”
