Katy McCown is president of She Laughs Ministries, author of She Smiles without Fear: Proverbs 31 for Every Woman, a writer for Proverbs 31 Ministries, and a national speaker. Katy left her job as a television news reporter to join her husband, Luke, on their adventure in the National Football League. During his thirteen years in the NFL, they moved more than a dozen times as Luke played on six teams, primarily as a backup quarterback. Through all the uncertainties and sur- prises, Katy has learned some things about “living sure” even when the future is not, because even when God’s path seemed to sideline her plans, it never sidelined her purpose. Luke and Katy have six children, plus two puppies and a cat (who they are pretty sure thinks he’s a dog). Katy loves a cup of strong coffee—or two— and her van is never clean. Never ever.

Shari Braendel has become the nation’s most sought-after Christian speaker on the topic of fashion, beauty and dressing with dignity. As an expert in her field, she sees firsthand that women of all shapes and sizes don’t recognize the beauty God has given them and lack knowledge of how to dress so their outside appearance represents who they are in Christ. A natural encourager and the author of Help Me Jesus, I have nothing to wear! (Zondervan), Shari inspires women to new levels of confidence!
