Seminary Dropout 95: Lisa Harper, Author of Believing Jesus
from Seminary Dropout · host Shane Blackshear
Lisa Harper is a storyteller and theological scholar―a gifted communicator whose writing and speaking connect the dots between the Bible era and modern life. The author of nine books, and a Masters of Theological Studies with honors from Covenant Seminary, she is now a sought-after Bible teacher. In Believing Jesus, Bible teacher and author Lisa Harper retraces the steps of the apostles in the book of Acts, while throwing in a few of her own crazy adventures along the way. The disciples didn’t have much of a road map after Jesus ascended to heaven, but God’s grace and spirit filled in the gaps as they moved forward. It required their willingness to risk everything to establish a new community that would change the future world. As a regular speaker on the Women of Faith® tour, Lisa has earned a reputation as a true theological scholar and hilarious storyteller—not necessarily in that order! Best-selling author and pastor Max Lucado calls Lisa one of the “best Bible tour guides around.” Believing Jesus will highlight both of Lisa’s strengths as she tackles every chapter of the Book of Acts with biblical wisdom and modern wit. Lisa keeps it real, telling stories on herself and pointing readers back to Jesus, the only one who can truly lead. -From the Publisher Some things discussed on the show... ...what Lisa imagined herself doing with her seminary degree when she graduated. ...the shortage of women in seminary. ...when Lisa first realized that she had a talent for teaching the Bible. ...what made Lisa decide to tackle the book of Acts in her latest book. ...Lisa's daughter Missy.
