About
The Graceful Community is hosted by Christian Apologist, Liz Cobo. It is a place for Christian women to learn how to properly study Scripture and gracefully defend the Christian faith and biblical worldview.
As Christian women we are called to know the Lord and make him known. The Bible is God's self-revelation to us and you can learn to study and enjoy it.
And you can learn to gracefully defend the Christian faith and biblical worldview... but you need to know and understand what you believe first.

Biblical Aliteracy Is Hurting the Church
One of the biggest challenges facing the Christian big "C" Church today is biblical aliteracy. Illiteracy is the inability to read—and yes, it is still a large problem, even in the US. But aliteracy is actually a larger problem for the Church. Aliteracy is the unwillingness to read.
As long as we as Christians are willing to get our knowledge of God "second-hand," hearing from our pastors, friends, and family—but not knowing The Word of God for ourselves, we're going to continue to live with the consequences of biblical aliteracy.
Oftentimes I hear women say that they really do want to study the Bible, but they're overwhelmed by it. They're not sure where to start, how to create a daily habit, and what to do first.
If this sounds familiar to you, you're not alone. And you just might find that our community of Christian women is exactly what you need to develop a daily, diligent, and disciplined study of Scripture.
Hi, I'm Liz!
I'm a Christian Apologist, writer, and speaker. I am passionate about helping women learn to study the Bible and gracefully defend the Christian faith and biblical worldview. I'm currently working on a Master's degree in Christian Apologetics at the Talbot School of Theology, Biola University.
I'm going to seminary, so you don't have to.
I was convicted by the Holy Spirit that I needed to pursue a Theological education (seminary) so I could confidently create content for Christian women that stays within the bounds of orthodox Christianity.
It's important to me for you to be able to trust the content you find inside The Graceful Community is theologically sound. That doesn't mean there won't be disagreements over specific issues related to faith. It does mean that the primary issues are settled based upon the doctrines (beliefs) of the big "C" Church. To see what I believe check out my Statement of Faith on my personal website.

There are a variety of Christian denominations represented within The Graceful Community. We seek to help our members understand and adhere to biblical principles and belief. You will find agreement on the primary issues, but likely diversity on the secondary issues. And if you're not sure the difference between primary and secondary beliefs, that's alright. That's one of the topics we'll cover inside The Graceful Community.
The community is meant to be a place for sincere discussions on important topics of faith. Some conversations are naturally more difficult than others. We welcome the difficult conversations as long as the tone and intent is one of love and truth.
The goal of The Graceful Community is to teach and provide resources within the bounds of orthodox Christianity. Within those markers there is a diversity of belief represented and we can agree to disagree on some things. But we will remain within the boundary lines. All of our members are expected to respect the lines and treat one another with kindness. We are here to further our knowledge and understanding, but most importantly to grow our relationship with the Triune God of the Christian Bible.
