Kristel Ward is an insightful Bible teacher and inspiring conference speaker. With a background in public education and pastoral ministry, her biblical wisdom has encouraged thousands to follow the example of Christ. In 2016, Kristel's life came to a sudden halt when her four-month-old son had a critical reaction to medication. In thirty days, he suffered over seventy seizures. The mental and emotional trauma of not knowing if her son would live, die, or have a high quality of life forced Kristel to dig deep into her spiritual roots. She emerged from that season with a stronger understanding of the Bible and an unquenchable passion to share it. By combining her communication, ministry, and education skills, Kristel launched a nonprofit organization called Grace to Grow. Each week Kristel leads a team of ministers to spiritually and emotionally support women around the globe. Whether from behind the podium, social media platforms, or camera productions, Kristel helps busy people grow in their relationship with God. Kristel is married to BJ Ward. Together they have three smart and sometimes messy children: Abbey, Emma, and Evan. The Ward family enjoys road trips, the outdoors, and a good campfire.
