Kirsten Hart
Ordering a copy of a birth certificate changed her life. At the age of 41, Kirsten discovered that she was adopted. God has led her on a journey she never expected, down a road she never knew existed, to a destination yet unknown.
Kirsten Hart has been able to travel with some of America’s premier Christian singing groups, but her greatest accomplishments are being a wife and mom. Having spoken at Women's Ministry Events across the country, God chose to give her a new life "story" in a surprising way. As she is daily walking out her story, she brings a message of grace, forgiveness, and miracles!
Through her unexpected twist of events, God has taught her that truly “the JOY of the Lord is our strength.” God’s grace is abundant, and He is FOREVER speaking to us in new and fresh ways!
Melinda Jernigan
Married for over 25 years to Dennis Jernigan, the world renowned worship leader and songwriter, not only is Melinda a wife, but she is also the mother of 9 children, a jewelry designer, and an inspirational speaker.
Understanding that God has designed each of us to be unique, Melinda has been given a deep desire to use the creativity He placed in her to design and produce handmade, one of a kind jewelry. Melinda has even had one of her earring designs featured in Bead Style magazine and an article in Bead & Button magazine. She has also spoken at Women’s Retreats and Events, bringing encouragement through sharing her story.
Melinda’s experiences, trials, and triumphs she has faced throughout her life are what make her the woman of God she is today. Her deepest desire is to give women hope and encouragement. Melinda believes every woman has many facets and is a precious jewel in the eyes of God!
Dene' Hopkins
Diagnosed with Lupus at the age of 30, Dene’ has been fighting an uphill battle against this chronic disease for more than 16 years. Married to a Pastor and mother of two, she has refused to let Lupus get in her way.
God has used her to minister to others who are affected by this disease, through the publication of her first book, No Longer Afraid of the Big, Bad Wolf. Dene’ has been a powerful keynote speaker in several settings, both in the business community and Christian circles.
Never knowing what life has in store for them, God has allowed Dene’s family to share amazing experiences including appearances on “Oprah” and “The Dr. Phil Show.” But through the years, she has also been pummeled by LEMONS, yet chosen to remain optimistic and simply “make lemonade.”
Nothing brings her greater joy than being with her family, and she believes her legacy is to live her life to the fullest, love much and laugh often, even if it means laughing at herself!
