Beholding the Beloved - In Christ, broken people walk in his love and display God's wisdom to the cosmic powers.

In the letter to the Ephesians, God reveals the glorious vision of his eternal plan and our purpose in it. Framed in love, the Spirit pulls back the veil through these ancient words, opens our eyes to see beyond our present circumstances, and peer into the love of Christ.
However, our Heavenly Father doesn’t just ask us to spiritualize our lives; he equips us with practical guidance to live in his love so that together we can lead beautiful, meaningful, and purposeful lives in the face of cosmic opposition.

Teren Sechrist has the honor of being a third-generation Bible teacher, having learned the Scripture in her infancy from her mother, Sharon, and her grandmother, Lizetta (her dad and grandfather were Bible teachers, too!). Her hope is to continue in what has been entrusted to her and to equip others to do the work of ministry.

Early in her marriage, Teren worked for the Navigators at Glen Eyrie in Colorado Springs while serving as Director of Women’s Ministries at her local church. After the Lord moved her family to Michigan, Teren has continued to serve in her church as a Bible teacher to children, teens, and women. She also has the privilege of training Bible teachers as a small group leader with the Charles Simeon Trust and through her church’s Priscilla Program.
