Talk Title: “Perfect love drives out fear…and envy!”

Talk Description:  Proverbs 27:4 makes it clear, “Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?” Envy is something we all experience, and creates a bondage that you may have struggled to overcome. Even though it may seem like envy has had the power over your life, we’re going to come to know a greater power, a presence that far surpasses and overcomes. This power is not a what, but a who, Jesus! Through His death on the cross, we come to experience true love, allowing us to love others enough to lay down our own lives for them. Only through love can we overcome envy, and the only way to know love is through His presence, available to you today! Come tune in to find out more!

Elizabeth is a passionate writer, speaker, and storyteller.  For almost a decade, she has been encouraging women through the Blue Jean Gypsy Blog, and writing Devotional Bible Studies.

Elizabeth spent a long season wandering in the wilderness of life before finally learning to step into God’s promises. As a recovering wanderer, she has a deep desire to help other women stop their own wandering by reminding them that they are seen, known, redeemed, and so greatly loved by God. So that, through a deeper relationship with Jesus, they can fully LIVE loved.

While Elizabeth loves storms, photography, and digging into Scripture, her greatest loves are Jesus, her husband, and her four children. Most days, she can be found wearing ripped jeans and sipping a cup of hot chocolate in the morning.

Sherry is a dedicated Gospel believer, grateful to be a wife, mom, grandma and friend. With
decades of leadership experience—including as President/CEO—she has raised millions of
dollars and collaborated with community and business leaders to transform organizations.
Known for revitalizing toxic cultures and cultivating strategic relationships,
She also finds joy baking sourdough bread, training standard poodles, and traveling with her
husband of 43 years. Together, they mentor couples seeking faith-centered marriages. She loves
facilitating Bible studies and small groups.
As founder of Amethyst BOLD, Sherry helps women maximize their time, talent, and treasure.
Drawing on her journey, she equips women of faith to overcome the “Dreaded D’s,” persistent
hurdles that can derail leaders. Grounded in Ephesians 5:15–16, she urges women to walk
carefully seeking God’s wisdom. Above all, Sherry’s passion is to bring Christ’s light to a broken
world.

She’s a fitness writer and enjoys motivating others physically and creatively.

Elizabeth Bricknell is a church planter in Longview, Washington, where she lives with her pastor-husband and their three incredible kids—twin girls on the brink of middle school and their spirited (and sometimes pesty) little brother entering first grade.

Her travels to 16 countries have ruined her in the best way, opening her eyes to God’s tender heart for all people and inspiring her to live, shop, think, and parent with intention. Those experiences led her to over a decade of work with Noonday Collection, a fashion brand creating meaningful, dignified jobs for artisans in vulnerable communities worldwide.

At home, you’ll find Elizabeth cheering (loudly) from the sidelines of the soccer field or basketball court, singing on the worship team, or eating ice cream after the kids are in bed. She recently launched a floral design business and stepped into a new role at her son’s elementary school. No matter the setting, Elizabeth loves reminding women that they are seen, known, and deeply loved by a very personal God.

Big dreams…I want every woman to know how loved they are, and who loves them the most, Jesus!

I lead women’s retreats and workshops on topics including joy, grace, how-to-study-the-Bible and practical subjects, like marriage. I hope these moments with others create connections and encourage women in their relationship with Jesus.

Long before speaking, I graduated from Concordia University with a BA in Secondary Education. I married Chad and moved to Texas to teach English to high schoolers. Y’all, let me tell you, it was super fun! Suddenly, life changed! We moved to Minnesota and, ya hey der, I became a mom. Being a mom was even more fun than teaching, so I embraced a new season, which ended up including homeschooling.

Now, my kids have grown and moved out, and I’m back to living my first dream…which really means connecting with you. Do you know you are loved?
