When Love Is Lowly
Jesus chooses lowly love to the last people I want to love– the deceitful, the arrogant, and the overbearing.
Taylor remembers the day when she realized that God was great and she was not. It’s been an adventure full of grace ever since. Taylor grew up on a mini-ranch in Oregon but has loved living in multiple countries as an adult. She has worked for a church in the Portland area for the last six years, teaching, discipling, and training. She loves being involved in equipping and encouraging people for the work God has given them. Before her church-life, Taylor worked as a missionary in Eastern Europe and graduated from Western Seminary with a MA in Biblical and Theological Studies. Her favorite part of life is sitting one on one with a woman to tell her about the hope of Jesus, because she knows that she desperately needs that hope each day. Taylor is the co-director of the Verity Fellowship, a ministry to equip women from Western Seminary, and regularly writes on their site VerityFellowship.org.

In response to their hopeless state, God promised the Satan-Crusher, the Family-Blesser, the Truth-telling Prophet, and the Forever-King. And those are just in the first 10 books of the Bible.
