LWA: DeeDee Williams on the Old Testament

This month on MARKED, we’re doing a fun new miniseries all about Lifeway Women Academy. Each episode of this series will release on Wednesdays, and Elizabeth Woodson joins Elizabeth Hyndman to talk to a Lifeway Women Academy teacher about her journey into theological education and how studying theology has marked her in her walk with Christ.

This week, we talked with DeeDee Williams about how she is passionate about studying the Old Testament and why it’s important for women to understand and see the beauty in the Old Testament as well as the New Testament. We’re so glad you’ve joined us today!

About DeeDee Williams

For over 20 years, DeeDee Williams has served in ministry in a variety of roles. She has served as a girl’s minister at Champion Forrest Baptist Church in Houston, Texas, has written devotionals in the Psalms and Proverbs Devotional for Women, and has written and taught Bible studies in various churches over the years. DeeDee has also served as an adjunct professor for New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.

In an effort to equip herself to serve the church well, DeeDee has a Masters of Divinity in Biblical Languages through Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and is currently in the final stage of earning her PhD in Biblical Theology through New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.

DeeDee is married to Andrew Williams and has three children, Kenzie (15), Wyatt (11), and Maddie (9). She has served alongside her husband as a pastor’s wife for over a decade. Currently, she and her family now reside in New Orleans where her husband works as the Associate Vice President of Auxiliary Services and Operations and is also the Assistant Professor of Expository Preaching for New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. They are thrilled to be a part of what God is doing on the campus and to be involved in the student’s lives as they pursue God’s calling through theological education.

Above all, DeeDee loves Jesus and desires to see Bible literacy grow and produce fruit as theological education empowers and equips the local church.
