Featuring: Lisa Harper, Eva Whittington Self, Paige Clayton Greene, Dr. Lynn Cohick, Kristi McLelland, Allison Allen

In this powerful, humorous, and deeply personal session, Lisa Harper opens her heart to the Kerygma community with a message that bridges academic theology and real-life transformation. With storytelling that moves from the stars of Genesis 15 to the unlikely compassion of Deuteronomy 22, Lisa helps us see that theology is not reserved for ivory towers—it’s meant to be lived in kitchens, green rooms, grief, and sisterhood.

She calls us to remember that theology—literally, conversations about God—isn’t about ego or polish, but about humility, compassion, and faithfulness in the unseen places. Drawing from years of both biblical study and late-night conversations with the Lord under Tennessee skies, Lisa brings encouragement, clarity, and a holy invitation: be a clean pipe for the Living Water, not the hero of your own story.

The session crescendos with a powerful story from her lifelong friend Eva Whittington Self, whose testimony of suffering, faith, and the simple act of a pastor crawling onto a hospital floor to hold her hand becomes a living sermon on compassion.

It concludes with a rich, honest panel of trusted women leaders—scholars, artists, theologians, and counselors—who share the five books they’d keep if they had to give up every other resource, and the one passage of Scripture they’d teach for the rest of their lives. This session is packed with wisdom, laughter, and legacy, grounding women in both orthodoxy and orthopraxy.
