She prayers before each session that God will humble her and make His word come through. She is not in this business for profit or celebrity. Before you criticize her Bible study, partake in one from start to finish. No matter what's going on in your life, you'll learn something based on Scripture.

What does that tell you about the marketability of the male "Bible" teachers? I couldn't bring myself to go to our church's Beth Moore Bible study because of my own convoluted logic a) her teaching has authority for women--but not for men. If her teaching has authority, that authority should stand no matter who's the recipient of it. That someone so gifted should be forbidden from teaching the most inept man in my congregation boils my rutabagas; and b) I don't care how good it is, I have trouble supporting something that is so marketable. That goes for Rick Warren and anybody else that has become a slick celebrity. And I wonder why people have trouble figuring me out... Hmmm…Lifeway has to make money to stay in business.

She is teaching women in the videos but if a man buys them and watches them, isn't she in fact teaching him?
