Barbara
has a passion for helping others grow from merely
surviving to thriving in Christ. A survivor of a
traumatic divorce with three young children,
rejection and abandonment by her church family, a
17-year eating disorder, and the trials and
challenges of parenthood, Barbara has personally
learned the transforming power of a vibrant and
personal relationship with Christ. Though she
accepted Christ as her Savior at the age of 14, she
had always been taught to be afraid of God, rather
than truly embrace His amazing love for her. Years
laterbroken, alone and desperate for
joyshe finally surrendered to the love and
grace of Jesus and began claiming His promises for
her life. God changed her heart and that of her
former husband and ultimately restored their
family. They remarried and although rocky at first,
today, they enjoy a beautiful, Christ-centered
marriage, praising God for their second chance at
life together.

THE
BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
Ransomed ? Restored ? Renewed ? Revived ~ Based

pain rather than the incredible, unique loveliness
God has placed in each heart. Barbara draws on the
Biblical examples of Rahab, Naomi, Hannah and
Deborah to encourage her listeners to look beyond
the mirror to see and embrace themselves the way
God sees and embraces them. Her messages include
Ransomed from a wounded heart;
Restored from bitterness to joy; Renewed
with confident hope; and Revived to live

created you. (One to four messages)

KODAK
MOMENTS
Based on Psalm 139:23
Lets face it...not every moment is a "Kodak

those "non-Kodak moments" as they draw us closer to
God and shape us into a beautiful panoramic image.

long-term eating disorder, divorce and remarriage
(to the same man), Barbaras journey of pain
is proof of Gods faithfulness in equipping us
to become everything He wants us to be. You will
leave encouraged to use your story to light the way
for others to Christ.
