Rarely are the terms hilarious storyteller and theological scholar used in the same sentence, much less used to describe the same person but then again, Lisa Harper is anything but stereotypical! She’s been lauded as a gifted communicator, whose writing and speaking overflow with colourful pop culture references that connect the dots between the Bible era and modern life. Her style combines sound scriptural exposition with easy-to-relate to anecdotes and comedic wit.

Her vocational resume includes five years in full-time youth ministry, six years as the director of Focus on the Family’s national women’s ministry where she creates the popular Renewing of the Heart conferences attended by almost 200,000 women, followed by seven years as the women’s ministry director at a large church in Nashville. Her academic resume includes a Master of Theological Studies with honours from Covenant Seminary in St. Louis. Now a sought-after Bible teacher and speaker, she’s been featured on numerous television and radio programs, spoken at hundreds of national and international women’s events, as well as in churches around the world. But she’s also very invested locally and has been leading a weekly neighbourhood Bible study for many years and co-teaches a community study in her home church.

Priscilla Shirer is a wife and mom first, but put a Bible in her hand and a message in her heart, and you’ll see why thousands meet God in powerful, personal ways at her conferences and through her books and Bible studies. She and her husband, Jerry, lead Going Beyond Ministries through which they provide spiritual support and resources to the body of Christ. They count it as their greatest privilege to serve every denomination and culture across the spectrum of the church. Between writing and studying, you’ll probably find Priscilla at home cleaning up after (and trying to satisfy the appetites of) her three rapidly growing boys.

Becky Lucas carries an innate desire to see people everywhere meeting intimately with God unrestricted by limitations or boundaries. Her love for God and people drives her to pursue quality and excellence in creating such atmospheres while inspiring others to greater heights in their unique calling. Alongside her husband Aaron, she was formerly the Worship Pastors at Citipointe Church, Brisbane, but has since taken the call of God on her life to new directions and heights as a location pastor for Citipointe Church in North Colorado, USA. Becky understands that to fulfil God’s calling one must first be able to see themselves the way God sees them.  She actively lives out of that truth while inspiring others to do the same.
