This episode is for every woman who has walked through a hard season and felt a nudge to turn her testimony into a Bible study that brings hope and healing.

Teresa’s approach is practical, Spirit-led, and deeply compassionate. She gives insight into: Why she chose to write a Bible study instead of a memoir How to keep the focus on God’s redemptive work—not just your personal narrative What it takes to create a compelling, structured, and biblically rich study How she moved forward in publishing—without relying on a large platform Encouragement for women who feel called to teach the Word, even if they feel unqualified If you’ve sensed the Lord prompting you to turn your hard story into something that strengthens others, this episode will inspire and equip you to take the next faithful step.
