The Declare Conference :: Speaker Line Up…

One of the most critical aspects of planning an event such as The Declare Conference is determining who will speak.  It doesn’t take long to figure out there are many qualified, capable, and gifted speakers available, with most, if not all, who would deliver a quality keynote or inspiring breakout session.  So, when The Declare Conference Hosts began the search for speakers, we intentionally and purposefully looked to HIM.  We wanted God’s choice, the man or women who has been especially designed to serve you, the attendee, this August in Dallas.

As we planned and prepared, we prayed and praised.

In response, He answered masterfully and continues answering.

We’re excited to introduce you to our Keynote Speakers and {most all} our Session Speakers (with more session speaker announcements to come).

 Mary DeMuth has been a blogger since the Days of Yore (2004) when her family moved overseas to church plant in France. She’s written over a dozen books, including her latest, Everything: What You Give and What You Gain to Become Like Jesus. She’s spoken around the nation and the world with the message that you can absolutely live an uncaged life. Her biggest accomplishment? A marriage of 22-plus years and three amazing nearly-adult “children.” She lives with those folks in Texas where she runs, gardens, and cooks up a storm or two. Find out more at MaryDeMuth.com.

  Jeff Goins is an author, blogger, and, speaker who lives just outside of Nashville with his family. His most recent book, Wrecked, came out August of 2012. You can connect with Jeff online at goinswriter.com.

Amy is blown away by the mind-bending reality that in brokenness or victory, devastation or delight, God never wastes a single thing for His glory. She sees blogging as an excellent way to proclaim that glory, as well as a means to ease the financial burdens of ourselves and others. So after blogging for many years, she began teaching others how to blog atBloggingWithAmy.com. You can also read about her no-nonsense time management system in her ebook Tell Your Time, or visit her online home at AmyLynnAndrews.com.

Wynne is a Texas girl married to her best friend wildly chasing after God’s plan for her life. She’s an incredibly blessed adoptive momma to the most beautiful Ethiopian babies she knows, Camp + Asher. Her blog, Gloriously Ruined, is a place where stories are told, hope is given, and the firm belief that anybody can change the world is spoken. Wynne’s own life was gloriously ruined by her trips to visit and love on orphans in Africa, and she’s using her stories and voice to encourage others to step out of their comfort zone and be ruined too. You can always find her trying to “purchase with purpose”, rocking Noonday Collection pieces, and drinking Ethiopian coffee.

Kat Lee is a writer, speaker and the reigning CandyLand champion in her home. She blogs at Inspired to Action, where she helps overwhelmed moms become focused and purposeful. She has traveled with, and is an advocate for Compassion International.

Her ebook, Maximize Your Mornings, has been downloaded over 20,000 times and launched a thriving community called HelloMornings.

Kat and her husband, live in Texas with their three children. She loves running, God and Tex Mex food, not necessarily in that order.

She buys apps like some women buy shoes. Technology makes her giddy. The Olympics make her cry.

Her ideal dinner party would include Seth Godin, Ann Voskamp, Taylor Swift, Francis Chan, Allyson Felix, Corrie ten Boom, Robert Griffin III and Brooke Fraser. She is also quite confident those people have never been included in one dinner party wish list before.

September will honestly share with you that she has more joy than she ever thought possible in this life. She lives a life of perpetual motion, loving the man that has protected her heart for 23 years, and raising 10 children to be more like their personal Savior.

September has a heart for encouraging women in motherhood, and the humility of “being real.” While homeschooling, keeping her home and her sanity, she has written an e-book to the heart of women, titled Hula Hoop Girl. Her book encourages women to find their identity in Christ, and to not take on more than He has intended. She challenges women to lay down the extra’s in life, and focus on what really matters .Her journey through loss and tragedy has taught her to be sensitive to the pain in other’s lives.

While managing her home, she finds new perspective daily, and has been able to share that with discipleships, speaking, and writing. September writes at One September Day, and is a contributing writer for MODsquad, Allume and Mom Heart. Between laundry and life – her heart is to encourage.
