Jodie says, “My passion is to help you create space for God in your life. One of the ways I do this is through my Scripture meditation and Lectio Divina podcast So Much More: Creating Space for God. My Bible studies are another way I hope to help you create space for God in your life. They are filled with sound biblical truth, practical application, and spiritual practices that aim to help you grow in your walk with Jesus. You should also know that I’m a pastor by training and by heart. I served on the pastoral team at a large church in the Dallas area for over 12 years. And I have a master’s degree from Dallas Theological Seminary. I love to teach God’s word by connecting spiritual truth to real life. If you need a Bible teacher who is encouraging, inspiring, and engaging - I’m your girl.”
