About the speakers:
Lysa TerKeurst - Lysa TerKeurst is president of Proverbs 31 Ministries and the #1 New York Times’ best-selling author of Uninvited, It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way, The Best Yes, Unglued, Made to Crave, and 17 other books.

Annie F. Downs - Annie F. Downs is a best-selling author, nationally known speaker, and podcast host, based in Nashville, Tennessee. Flawed but funny, she uses her writing to highlight the everyday goodness of a real and present God. Annie is the author of multiple best-selling books, including Remember God and 100 Days To Brave. By weaving together personal stories, humor, and Scripture, she invites those reading to experience fulfilled lives with a God who made them on purpose and loves them deeply. While she loves writing - books, blogs, articles, thank-you notes - Annie also enjoys traveling around the world, speaking at events, conferences, and churches. Annie is a huge fan of bands with banjos, confetti poppers, her community of friends, boiled peanuts, and soccer.
Rita Springer - Rita is one of the most gifted worship leaders to arise over the last fifteen years. She believes that the joy of being a worship leader is to make those listening jealous for what has been found in Christ. Making Christ famous through the art, act, and physical sound of our worship is Rita’s anthem, and her deepest desire is to see this arise in the body of Christ. Her motto is: “To make the Lord famous in whatever I do with my worship and relationship with Him.” Born out of that deep desire and to see women free through the tools of the Word, she started her own women’s conference in 2000 called Fragrant Oil. It was an incredible season of seven years, watching God use worship powerfully to transform lives across the globe. In 2008, she began a worship school called DIVE (Deep - Innovative - Vertical - Expression). The school trains and encourages upcoming worship leaders all over the world with week-long, intensive, one-on-one courses. Staying true to her calling, Rita continues to write new songs and leads worship at churches, conferences, and events around the country. Rita released her first book in 2013 called Finding Eve.
Jill Boyd - Jill Boyd is married to the wonderful Aaron, they live in Belfast, Northern Ireland, with their three daughters, Lily, Josie, and Heidi. Jill is involved in women’s ministry in her local church, coordinating MOPS, and heading up their women’s bible study. Jill is also a part of the teaching team in her home church, CFC Belfast. She is passionate about communicating and inspiring others to read God’s word, believing its truth can impact and transform our perspective in life. When their first daughter was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis as an infant, Aaron and Jill quickly learned a new dependence on God. Their journey and life’s rhythm has been praying for breakthrough and believing that greater things are still to be done in and through each of us.
Maggie Thorne - Maggi is a five-time competitor on the Emmy nominated show American Ninja Warrior. She was the second mom up the warped wall, first mom to beat the salmon ladder, Ninja Warrior Las Vegas finalist, two-time Team Ninja Warrior competitor, and two-time NBC Spartan Ultimate Team Challenge competitor. Maggi travels the nation, passionately sharing her love for Jesus, with her three kids. She motivates men, women, and children of all ages to never give up and to “pursue your dreams, no matter what life throws at you!'' She is also enrolled to in courses to obtain her Master’s Degree in Biblical Studies from Colorado Christian University. No stranger to pain and trials, Maggi’s story of becoming a single mom, raising her three children, and maintaining a career will encourage women on every level. Her charisma and energy are magnetic, and her faith in the gospel will leave you with a hope that God can truly give you beauty for ashes.
Emily Klotz - Emily is passionate about helping women know who they are in Christ, know His love for them, and live the abundant, victorious life that Jesus has planned for each of them! This passion for God and people came from a most unexpected and difficult place in her life. She will share her testimony of how she was abducted and raped, and how Jesus brought her to a place of freedom through forgiveness. She wants to show you how to overcome fear and shame and live in victory, no matter what your past looks like. Emily desires to help women grow strongly rooted in the Word of God and to fly freely in the gifts and purpose God has for their lives. Emily lives in Cadillac, Michigan, with her husband, Dan, and two teen children, Analynne and Levi. Together, they pastor Resurrection Life Church - Cadillac.
