2025 Theme
“Out of the Boat: Peter’s Journey and Ours.”
Matt. 14:28-29: “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” [Jesus] said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

Speaker: Jennifer Shaw
 Jennifer Shaw
Jennifer Shaw’s captivating, humorous, and inspirational presentations have been effectively sharing the transformative love of God with audiences around the world for almost 20 years. She says, “I want everyone to know this Jesus who has changed everything for me.” She is an award–winning speaker, Amazon best–selling author, singer, songwriter and five–time Top 40 Billboard artist. Her ministry has been featured by Focus on the Family, Insight for Living, Family Life Today, Compassion International, Joni and Friends, and many more. 
 
A former professor, Jennifer holds a Masters Degree in Music Performance from the Manhattan School of Music as well as a Masters Degree in Biblical Studies from Moody Theological Seminary. As a young woman and a new Christian, she experienced an intense period of loss and grief, causing her to grapple with the question of whether her new faith was enough in the face of despair. As she poured over Scripture, she discovered that God was true to every one of His promises which was life–changing. She made a worship album of self–penned songs for her terminally ill father, shifting her career dramatically. That album’s quick radio success caused her to consider for the first time if God might have more significant plans for her life than secular entertainment.
 

Jennifer is both an adoptive and a special needs parent, which has refined her faith and convinced her that God is absolutely trustworthy, no matter the circumstances. This message of hope is universal. Jennifer’s engaging and approachable style causes people to deeply consider how God wants to both meet them where they are and inspire them to transform the world around them.

Kelli grew up about an hour south of Chicago and still calls that ‘home.’ She is A wife, a mom and now Mimi to Andon James and Noah Michael… Kelli has spent the vast majority of her life wearing many different professional hats! Hairdresser, Fitness Coach, Nutritionist, Author and Food Truck owner, just to name a few. But these have all brought her to my most passionate position, speaker and Worship Leader. Her desire is to fully embrace God’s purpose and calling over her life. To do what she truly believes He has called her to do, Share His unfailing love and the saving power of Jesus Christ. There truly is nothing more powerful than the Holy Spirit working His way through a room full of hearts and minds that need to humbly turn to Him. Her mission, to choose Him every day until her last breath. God Bless, and Godspeed!
