When I was growing up, my most cherished memories include sitting around the table with my family after dinner, swapping stories about our day and reminiscing over favorite times. Sometimes we’d sit for an hour or more, not wanting our conversation to end (or to do the dishes!). Pull up a chair and enjoy browsing through my blog posts around my virtual kitchen table.
Connect with me by leaving a comment, inviting me to speak at your next event or working with me one-on-one. My prayer for you is to be encouraged and inspired by the words I share here, without even having to help with the dishes.
On Tuesday, September 3 from 5:30-7:30 PM, we’ll gather at Infinity Church in Fountain Inn, SC, for an evening of remembrance and gratitude. I’ll be interviewing Niels Jorgensen, a former FDNY firefighter who served at Ground Zero on 9/11 — and this will be my first-ever live interview. Niels isn’t...
On the drive there, I realized this wasn’t just a trip to open a checking account. It was one of those parenting moments that shapes how a child views money for years to come. As parents, our homes are training grounds. They’re places where our children can try, fail, succeed,...
Without realizing it, we had allowed good and godly activities to pervade our time together as a couple, leaving us vulnerable and disconnected. Although we had prayed for our marriage and family over the years, we began to pray more specifically. We asked God for wisdom and discernment in guarding...
We looked like a picture-perfect family. My husband had a respectable job. I was a stay-at-home mom of twins. We lived in a cute house, drove two old, but paid-for, cars, and were proud pet owners of a somewhat obedient black lab. We took family vacations. We were leaders in...
“You’ve lost the baby,” the doctor said. Not again, I thought as tears filled my eyes. At my follow-up appointment a week later, my doctor told me, “We wait until after your third miscarriage before recommending further assessment.”

Liz Cobo says that nothing has deepened her faith and changed her walk with Jesus like studying the Bible. Studying God’s Word literally changed her life. Things that were once important priorities aren’t anymore. Things that were once afterthoughts are now at the top of her list. Scripture is God’s self-revelation and is available to anyone willing to take the time and make the effort to read and study. Liz understands that now. God promises in his Word that he will give us greater understanding of His Word when we read it. Liz always believed in God, but didn’t always know Jesus and lived a lot of her life not knowing what the Bible says and doesn’t say. Maybe you’ve experienced (or are experiencing) the same thing? We know what it means to be an unbeliever or to be unchurched. But what about believers who don’t know God’s word? She describes them as soldiers who take no weapons or no armor into war.
Liz wants women to become educated believers and shares practical ways to learn. Her passion is to help them understand, study and apply the word of God in their daily lives. And to share God’s truth with grace to unbelievers and the unBibled.
We talk about all of this and more in this episode.
