This week, Jessica McKillip shares what she learned in her Tuesday Morning study at Equip Her. She was part of the Let Women Teach Us class taught by Kathy Bowman. I was hesitant to sign up for the “Let Women Teach Us” Bible study because often in our society today, if you focus on one …

I Will Put my Hope in God
