Break Out Session Speakers

Cheryl Butler
Cheryl is passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families balance everyday demands and have JOY while doing it! With extensive training in education and counseling, Cheryl utilizes an eclectic approach to working with families and individuals - one rooted in family systems, attachment theory, and CBT.  

Cheryl loves spending time with her with her main loves: her three young boys and husband. She embraces all aspects of being a “boy mom” (minus the mess) and believes that the home is the best classroom.  It is not uncommon to see her catching critters or doing science experiments… Her interests range from being engrossed in a good book, watching documentaries, Starbucks all day, and dreaming of traveling the world (penguins in the Arctic and an African safari being top of the list).

Becky Kiser
Becky is committed to seeing women fall in love with God’s Word, then feel equipped and empowered to live it out. She believes that women can experience their own wild story, just like we see in the lives of God’s chosen in His Word, as they love Jesus and love people. A few years ago she is the founder Sacred Holidays--a ministry dedicated to helping women find less chaos and more Jesus during holidays, engaging them through Bible study, community, resources, and lots of fun! She is determined to help women keep all the whimsy of the holidays, while making them sacred--holy and set apart. Her first book, Sacred Holidays: Less Chaos, More Jesus, was released with Lifeway and is available wherever books are sold online and in Lifeway stores. Today, Becky is using her background in marketing, ministry, and as a certified Myers-Briggs life coach, and is bringing each of those experiences into her writing and speaking. Becky and her husband, Chris, live in The Woodlands, Texas, with their three girls. 

Dana Spinler
Dana is passionate about helping adolescents, individuals, couples, and families harness their resources to address difficulties, take a new direction, and move into a place of hope. Her life experiences have allowed her to be empathetically  present with people through rough times, disappointments, heartaches, and general uncertainty. She brings with her a style that helps individuals build resilience through acceptance with a commitment to finding hope.
Her free time finds her in an over 40 running club, reading, attending gymnastic meets, and traveling with husband. Additionally, she is part of a group interesting diverse women who write blogs to encourage other women.

Beth Parish
​Beth Parish started practicing Christ-centered yoga ten years ago when she was pregnant with the first of her four boys. She instantly fell in love, using mediation on God’s word and stillness in her final resting posture in her daily quiet time. She knew that she wanted to share it with others, so she became a certified Yoga Faith teacher. Knowing how much moms pour into their families, Beth is passionate about teaching moms specifically. She understands how hard it is to find time to sow in to your spiritual, mental, physical and emotional well-being and is glad to create a space without to do lists and tantrums, where moms are encouraged and focused in on the Lord.
