This week, I’m joined by Amy Senter, a former teacher and artist with a passion for making the Bible accessible to everyone. After struggling to understand Scripture herself, Amy used her background in education and art to create tools that simplify Bible study for all ages and learning styles. Her popular Books of the Bible cheat sheets, designed with visual learners and those with ADHD or dyslexia in mind, are now sold in over 50 countries. Amy’s journey has not been without challenges. After receiving a late-stage Lyme Disease diagnosis, she found herself questioning her faith and purpose. But through this challenging season, Amy's relationship with God deepened, and she rediscovered her passion for Bible study. Her story is a powerful reminder of how God can bring purpose and growth even through our most difficult circumstances. I really enjoyed this conversation and know it will inspire you, so let’s dive in! 1:43 – Amy 101 •    Growing up in Northen Virginia •    A wife and mom living in Texas •    Transitioning from teaching to being a stay-at-home mom •    Getting sick and rediscovering a love for art 12:26 – Finding Purpose In The Unexpected •    Navigating the identity shifts of adulthood •    Letting go of external expectations •    Amy’s journey to teaching and sharing through art •    Taking the next step 20:20 – The Importance of Bible Literacy •    The decline of Biblical literacy •    The role teaching and curriculum play in comprehension  •    The danger of only relying on secondary sources •    Reading and discerning the Bible yourself 35:12 – You Are Not Alone •    Being diagnosed with Lyme disease •    The physical, emotional and spiritual toll of this sickness •    How Amy is doing now •    A deeper understanding of God’s presence in suffering •    Connecting with Amy FEATURED QUOTES “So many people are constantly like, what's my purpose, what's my calling, what's my next step?
