Sandi grew up in a small Texas town with a big desire to see the world. During college she was privileged to travel with an international music missions team and gained a passion for ministry and encouraging the body around the world. After marrying, she and her husband dove into full-time ministry. She has a great desire to encourage women to see who they are in Christ and realize that their true beauty rests in the eyes of the ONE who loves them most. Another passion is leading believers to the throne of God in worship and adoration of Him. She lives with her husband, Bram, of 24 years, their 2 boys, Cadence and Canon (their 2 girls -Demi and Lyric- have moved away to college), and two dogs on 30 acres in Central Texas.

Nan Goodenow
Nan has a desire to help others, especially women, to discover a Christ-centered perspective in the midst of life's circumstances. After spending 20 years running from God, including just short of 10 years hating Him for the death of her 3 1/2 year old son Zachery, Nan fell back into the loving, faithful arms of Jesus. Over the past 16+ years Jesus has literally "restored the years the locust have eaten" and Nan now walks fully (most of the time!) in the freedom of Christ. Her passion is to help others find that same freedom from shame, guilt and regret as Jesus replaces it with His grace, forgiveness and mercy. Nan is married to her amazing husband, Gary and is overjoyed by the graciousness of God who blended together Yours, Mine, Someone else's and Max; her 17 month old grandson and joy!
