About the Writing
Studies Written for Healing
Teresa writes the way she coaches — with warmth, honesty, and a compassionately direct heart for seeing people set free. Her Bible studies are crafted with transformation and healing in mind, gently leading readers toward one overarching truth: that we are invited to love and trust God with all our mind, heart, soul, and will. Rooted in Scripture and shaped by lived experience, each study meets you right where you are and walks with you toward wholeness — one honest page at a time.
Whether you’re beginning your healing journey or walking with someone through theirs, these studies are a companion for the road.
The She Raises Her Voice Series
She Raises Her Voice: Trusting God With All Your Will — Part One
A study through Proverbs 1–17 that trades the world’s anxious striving for the quiet richness of a sound mind and a settled soul. Teresa guides you into what it truly means to trust God rather than lean on self-reliance or the fear of others’ opinions — with daily questions, Scripture, and room to reflect on your own or with a group. A grounding first step toward the abundant life.
She Raises Her Voice: Trusting God With All Your Will — Part Two
The five-week continuation through Proverbs 18–31, guiding you to surrender every part of your will to God. Explore what it means to walk in wisdom, strength, and discernment — and to recognize the world’s false freedoms for what they are — as you find real peace in trusting God’s sovereignty.
Studies and Devotionals
The Implanted Word: A Six-Week Study Through the Book of James
A six-week journey through the New Testament’s most practical letter. Together you’ll explore a faith that shows up in real life — persevering through trials with joy, taming the tongue, and letting the Word God has planted in you take root and bear fruit. For anyone ready not just to hear the Word, but to live it.
Pursuing a Heart of Godliness: 1 & 2 Timothy
Loving God with a Pure Heart, a Good Conscience, and Sincere Faith
A study through Paul’s letters to Timothy, drawn from his charge that love flows from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith. Walk alongside a mentor and his son in the faith as you pursue genuine godliness, steady, sincere, and lived out with integrity in everyday life.
Shouts of Praise: A Devotional Through Psalm 150
A devotional-style study built around the six verses of Psalm 150, exploring worship as far more than music — a whole-life response of trust and obedience. Week by week it leads you into deeper praise and a steadier walk with God, trading fear and anxiety for faith, rest, and renewed confidence. Because the best worship doesn’t end when the song does.

As an educator, I found this seminar insightful. I walked away with practical information that I will share with my colleagues. The information regarding protective behaviors was especially helpful in understanding the nature of bullying in practical ways.
Register for Freedom From Anxiety
A $10 donation is appreciated.
It was helpful to learn the effects of anxiety and how it can control our mood and behavior but more importantly, I gained skills and knowledge that gave me hope that I have a choice to not let it control my life. I liked the real-life examples used in the group participation time. I was able to see the tools used in practical ways.
