RADIANT VIRTUES BIBLE

A note from Lisa Harper

If you’re a perfect woman who doesn’t have to wear Spanx and your hair looks good every day, you don’t get to watch this Bible study, because this book isn’t for perfect people!

More than the other Gospel writers, Luke includes outliers and outcasts. Throughout the book, Luke recognizes recognizes the humanity and compassion of Jesus, defined consistently in the original Greek as splagnitzomai - "gut-level compassion."

From the opening verses, we see compassion and tender care on display as God is working in and through the lives of those who feel left behind, forgotten, invisible, and rejected. Jesus readily goes to those on the margins to scoop them up in his mercy and love.

The compassion Jesus has for us is not a superficial compassion. It's from the very gut of God. The recipients of Jesus' gut-level compassion are outliers and outcasts. They are real people and Jesus is a real God. And he loves us more than we can possible imagine, even on our messy days. 

So exhale. Lean in. You don't have to wear a matching outfit and you don't even have to know how to pronounce Habakkuk. This Bible study is for you. 

I'm just so excited for you to go on this 8-week Bible study adventure with me. I hope you'll join us.

Lauded as a “hilarious storyteller” and “theological scholar,” Lisa Harper is anything but stereotypical! She is known for emphasizing that accruing knowledge about God pales next to a real and intimate relationship with Jesus. 

Lisa has 30+ years of church and para-church ministry leadership, as well as a decade speaking on-tour with “Women of Faith.” She holds a Master of Theological Studies from Covenant Seminary and is in the thesis stage of an earned doctorate at Denver Seminary. She is a regular on TBN’s globally syndicated Better Together show and has published multiple books and Bible studies.

The most noticeable thing about Lisa Harper is her authenticity and love for Christ. But her greatest accomplishment to date is getting to become Missy’s mom through the miracle of adoption in 2014!
