This week I speak with Joanne Hagemeyer. When she received her own Bible at the age of nine, she read the whole book, from preface to concordance, with transcendent joy, knowing these were the very words of God. Today, Joanne continues in God’s call to teach, counsel, mentor, and train in God's word and Spirit through retreats, Bible studies, and online classes. After leading and teaching a Bible class of 350–500 students from 2003 to 2013, Joanne retired in 2018 as an advisor and mentor to eight Bible classes in the Maryland area through Bible Study Fellowship. She began teaching and speaking through Ancient Voices, Sacred Stories, LLC, then founded Grace and Peace, Joanne. Joanne earned her Master of Arts in Theological Studies from Portland Seminary and serves as a member of both the pastoral team and pulpit teaching team of her church. A long-time amateur archaeologist, Joanne joined the Board of Directors for the Biblical Archaeology Forum in 2013 and has participated in two excavations, Tel Kabri and Tel Akko, Israel. We look at Joanne’s life from childhood to the present and are so encouraged by the beautiful thread of Jesus working in her life!! You won’t want to miss this inspiring episode!
