214: Erin Davis and the Twin Anchors of Life in God

Erin Davis is a speaker, author, and blogger. Her latest book is 7 Feasts: Finding Christ in the Sacred Celebrations of the Old Testament. Today, Erin shares how Scripture began to make sense after her conversion, how her husband encouraged her to teach, and the season of grief that refined her. We also talk about why the Old Testament is valuable to reveal God to us. Erin’s story reminds us that God reveals himself in Scripture and we can find him wherever we read.

Listen to Erin’s story now!

Growing up in a mixed religious house in Missouri
Visiting a new church and being invited to a retreat
Giving her life to Christ at that conference
Discovering her gifts as she interacted in youth group
Noticing how Scripture made more sense after giving her life to Christ

Great quotes from Erin:

Anywhere I could teach the Bible, I’d go.

There are two anchors in my life: God is sovereign and God is good.

If you don’t have the sovereignty of God when you’re suffering, you don’t have anything.
