And in the Biblical Theology Workshops for Women she is now offering around the country and internationally, she is training women how to trace these themes for themselves. She wrote Even Better Than Eden to take women a step further into understanding some of the major themes than run from Genesis to Revelation in the Bible. “I regularly have women who have worked their way through all five of my Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament Bible Study series tell me that those studies helped them to see connections in the Bible they had never seen before. Most recently, Nancy has been focused on her mission to infiltrate women’s Bible study in the local church with biblical theology. She speaks regularly at conferences nationally and internationally, and is a regular contributor to The Gospel Coalition, including hosting the Help Me Teach the Bible podcast. She and her husband, David, founded weekend Respite Retreats for couples who have faced the death of a child. Her desire to grow in her understanding of God's Word prompted her to pursue graduate work in theological studies via Reformed Theological Seminary Global which is ongoing. Since then, Nancy has continued to write books that reflect her compassion for hurting people and her passion for applying God's Word to real life. Nancy offered many of the lessons she learned from the loss of two of their children in her first book, Holding On to Hope: A Pathway of Suffering to the Heart of God which was published in 2002. They also have a daughter, Hope, and a son, Gabriel, who were born with a rare genetic disorder called Zellweger Syndrome and each lived six months. Nancy and her husband, David, have a son, Matt, who works with his dad creating kids musicals for the church through Little Big Stuff Music. I often have people who hear me teach say that I'm very real. And while I share openly the deep hurts in my life, I also like to laugh. “I’ve had to dig into God’s Word in search of answers to hard questions about God and how he works, and I find that my readers or listeners usually have the same struggles and questions. Nancy’s life experience has also significantly affected her teaching. “The deeper I go, the more I see its wisdom, the more it authenticates itself, the more it reveals to me the beauty of God’s plan to redeem all things through Christ.” “To me, God’s Word is a treasure to be mined,” she says. “He has blessed me with so many sound Bible teachers to sit under-from my days as a college student in Bible classes, Bible Study Fellowship teaching leaders, gifted pastors at my church, Cornerstone Presbyterian Church, and the professors at Reformed Theological Seminary -as well as teachers and preachers from all over the world that I listen to and learn from online.” But Nancy says the most important thing God has given her is a love for him and for his Word. “God has been preparing me my whole life for teaching His word.” ![]()
