Even though I have been marking up my Bible for years, I find that looking for some key things helps me really consider who God is, what His plan is for me, and how I should respond.

These days, our world and our country seem ever-darkening. Our constant access to local, national, and global news makes us more aware of the darkness, and it is challenging to keep from fearful of where our world is headed. How blessed are those who know the power and glory of God’s light that should dispel our fears and give us great hope!

God isn't just great as our childhood meal-time prayer tells us, but He is greater than anyone or anything. He is the greatest!

Checklists are great - unless they keep you from the proper focus.

Meet Beth

Beth was blessed to be raised by parents who taught their children to love the Lord. She trusted in Christ for salvation and followed in believer’s baptism when she was eight years old.

Beth thanks the Lord for leading her parents to First Baptist Church in Jefferson City, Missouri, where the youth choir practiced and sang in the 8:15 am Sunday service each week. This was great preparation for understanding the joy and the responsibility of serving Christ’s church.

Throughout her adult life, Beth has served in many roles across various church ministries – most of them while working full-time. Her favorite roles involve discipling women by studying and teaching the Bible and its power for our lives.

She has taught an adult Sunday School class on Sunday mornings since 2010. In addition, since 2021, she has enjoyed writing and teaching two Women’s Bible studies each year. She also blogs at bethipock.com about discipleship and daily Christian living. She recently had an article published at thegospelcoalition.org.

Other church roles include co-directing VBS, singing in the choir, chairing the personnel committee, and filling in at the piano when needed.

Beth and her husband, Ellis, have five grown children, three daughters-in-love, 16 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
