Shelley Hendrix

People resonate with authentic, passionate people. This is why people resonate with Shelley. She shares her story of God's grace in a fun, compelling way, and in doing so allows others to see a picture of that very same grace reflected in their own story. I am so excited to see how Jesus is leveraging her life to encourage others and move the Kingdom forward.

Shelley Hendrix is passionate about helping others live with purpose and without pressure!

She is a wife, mother, teacher, speaker, author, and television talk show host who lived most of her life feeling like the "invisible woman." Always striving to measure up to others' standards and never sensing she was ever going to reach that bar eventually brought her to a powerful and painful crossroads in her own journey. Coming to the realization that she was indeed designed to live a life with great purpose, but without the pressure that so many of us feel, radically changed the course and destiny of her life. Because of this, She is passionate about helping others live with purpose and without pressure!

Shelley boldly and clearly articulates the message of God's grace and new identity in a way that connects the dots for so many followers of Christ while also communicating in a way that reaches the ears and hearts of those who have yet to embrace a relationship with Jesus Christ.

"It deeply blesses and greatly impresses me when I meet young Christian women who have a passion for God’s Word and the ability to articulate that passion to communicate God’s message to the lost, the hurting and the next generation. Shelley Hendrix is one of those young, passionate, articulate women who, out of the overflow of her relationship with the Lord Jesus, is pursuing God’s call on her life to teach, lead and encourage other women. Whether reading Shelley’s books or hearing her as she teaches and mentors women across the street or across the country, she is on a mission, fulfilling the Great Commission and making a difference."
