TerKeurst: Resolve for obedience comes from God

Author and speaker Lysa TerKeurst encouraged students, faculty and staff in a Feb. 17 Union University chapel service to resolve to be obedient to God.

“You don’t have to strategize and manipulate and try to figure out the battle you’re facing right now,” she said. “Honestly, your job is just to be obedient to God. God’s job is everything else.”

TerKeurst is the best-selling author of 18 books and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries. She also spoke at a women’s conference hosted by Union Feb. 18. More than 1,100 women from 113 churches attended that event.

Stephanie Edge, associate professor of computer science and organizer of the conference, said TerKeurst is an inspiration to many women who have read her books and heard her teaching.

“As president of Proverbs 31 Ministries, Lysa and her staff are passionate about teaching the Word of God in ways that get people excited to live the Bible out loud,” Edge said.
