I am long overdue to introduce a new writer/editor on our blog – Lynda Kong! Lynda has been my friend since her college years and we also reconnected in our seminary days. She already edited my most recent post. She wrote the following to tell a bit about herself:
I am 49 years old, married with three daughters. God called me to become a Christian in college, after drawing me to Him through the promises of His redemptive love in Isaiah and the Psalms and the poetry of T. S. Eliot. The question I was challenged with the most when I first shared my faith was, “How can you be a woman and believe in the Bible?”
I am a poet and literary critic. I also have a MA in Biblical Counseling, and served on staff as Director of Women’s Ministry at an Anglican church in Manhattan for nine years. I feel called to advocate for women, and to help and equip them to grow in their knowledge that Jesus is with them, whatever their struggles.
