Speaker: Lindsey Murphy
Lindsey Murphy grew up in a Christian home and was always surrounded by strong Christian influences. However throughout life she encountered many trials (as we all do), and as a 'church kid' she realized there was a gap between what she heard and what she saw played out in people’s lives. She started her career in alternative education, however, in 2019 she sensed a call to teach the Word of God full time and was obedient to leave the classroom behind for the open road.
Her passion is to see all come to know who they are through a relationship with Jesus Christ. He has the desire to build a deeply rooted relationship that leads to total surrender and utter obedience in each one of us.
