She is under the authority of her pastor.

It’s not so much guilt by association, it’s guilt by subjugation. Sometimes we automatically have guilt by association. No matter what Lysa TerKeurst says in her Bible studies, she’s known as the Proverbs 31 woman, I’m sure you’ve seen her little sayings. Lysa TerKeurst is a member of Elevation Church, that’s Steven Furtick’s church. I think one of the responsibilities as a man, as a husband, as a spiritual leader of my household is to make sure that my wife is being fed in Bible study, good food that doesn’t come from wolves. Priscilla Shirer, Beth Moore, LifeWay Industry … they are often shallow, trite or downright hermeutically bad. He uses Mrs TerKeurst as one of the examples. In it, Seth addresses how hard is to review women’s Bible studies when the “meat” of them are on video.

His podcast discussing Mrs TerKeurst is within the one called Driving Miss Beth to the Bus Stop. I was impressed with how he stated one of the concerns with Mrs TerKeurst and why she should not be followed. Seth Dunn recently spoke of Mrs TerKeurst in his podcast The Christian Commute. I’d like to add another of the credible discernment concerns with Mrs TerKeurst. Michelle Lesley did a great job on why we should be leaving Lysa, and Aimee Byrd negatively reviewed Mrs TerKeurst’s 17th and most famous book, here. People have written about the concerning issues with Mrs TerKeurst before. (Her name is pronounced ter–rhymes with sir keurst–rhymes with burst). Sadly, however, there are numerous issues with the kind of Christianity Mrs TerKeurst promotes. She is attractive, engaging, seems to have a good handle on the Bible, and is very popular with women. She has written several best-selling books and is founder of Proverbs 31 ministries. Lysa TerKeurst is a ladies Bible study teacher.
