Marked with Angie Elkins and Andrea Lennon LWA: DeeDee Williams on the Old Testament
This month on MARKED, we’re doing a fun new miniseries all about Lifeway Women Academy. Each episode of this series will release on Wednesdays, and Elizabeth Woodson joins Elizabeth Hyndman to talk to a Lifeway Women Academy teacher about her journey into theological education and how studying theology has marked her in her walk with Christ.
This week, we talked with DeeDee Williams about how she is passionate about studying the Old Testament and why it’s important for women to understand and see the beauty in the Old Testament as well as the New Testament. We’re so glad you’ve joined us today!
