Guest Bio: Kelly Minter is passionate about God’s Word and believes it permeates all of life. The personal healing and steadfast hope she’s found in the pages of Scripture fuel her passion to connect God’s Word to our everyday lives. When she’s not writing or teaching, you can find her tending her garden, taking a walk with friends, cooking for her nieces and nephews, riding a boat down the Amazon River, or walking through a Moldovan village with Justice & Mercy International. Kelly holds a Master’s degree in Biblical and Theological Studies from Denver Seminary. 

Show Summary: When was the last time things didn’t go as you had planned? Often, we come up with a path for our life that doesn’t work out the way we thought it would. Kelly Minter wanted to be a successful worship singer, but she eventually realized that was not what God had in store for her. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Vivian Mabuni as they explore how to trust and worship God—even when He changes our plans—during this God Hears Her conversation.
