Caution regarding the teaching of Lysa Terkeurst

Image
We received a mailer at our church this week advertising an event with "Six-Time New York Times Bestselling Author and CEO of Proverbs 31 Ministries," Lysa Terkeurst.  I don't know anything about the event organizers, so I won't name them, but I had this name mentally flagged and went to check into it.  She's a member of Steven Furtick's Elevation Church, which should rightly tell you to avoid her already.  She also regularly preaches to men, partners with false teachers, and teaches false doctrines such as contemplative prayer and use of the Enneagram.   You can read more about her here:  https://michellelesley.com/2015/07/31/leaving-lysa-why-you-shouldnt-be-following-lysa-terkeurst-or-proverbs-31-ministries/
