Introductions:
Jeri Howe is a speaker, author and pastor. Jeri’s biblically based messages have been providing life-changing insights to audiences for years. She has written a few Bible studies and self-published a medieval fantasy novel, Kamea, that communicates the truths of our identity in Christ. She even dabbled in radio for a while.Jeri is presently being trained as a spiritual director.She recently earned her Master of Divinity degree
and is serving as a teaching pastor at Lakeshore Vineyard Church in West Michigan. Jeri is married to Jason, and they have two adult kids who are both married, and the whole family loves to celebrate anything and everything with lots of food and fun! Jeri has two main passions. The first is to help everyone come to know the love of God that proclaims, “You are precious, you matter, you belong with me…” Jeri worked for years to prove her worth, but it was never enough. Jesus has been delivering her from these cycles of struggle, and now she loves sharing God’s freeing truth in her talk: "No Matter What, You Matter Now". Jeri’s second passion is to affirm, encourage and equip Christian leaders. Several years ago Jeri struggled with burnout and almost dropped out of ministry. But Jesus met her in surprising ways, caring for her and bringing healing and freedom. And so now Jeri is offering resources and retreats to help other leaders not only survive but flourish so that, instead of dropping out – or fading out slowly – they continue to grow and experience God’s love, joy and peace in their own lives. You can check out the theleaderproject.net to see what she has to offer including her twenty-six “sometimes counter-cultural, sometimes counter-intuitive, always thought-provoking” leadership concepts. Each one is inspired by New Testament Scriptures that teach and model how to live and how to lead. |
