She leads a weekly Women's Bible Study, co- leads the women's intercessory prayer ministry and serves alongside her husband John (senior pastor of Calvary South OC) at Thrive Young Adults ministry.

Jac Marino Chen — Jac was saved by Jesus out of a past of abuse, addiction, New Age practices, the occult, hermeticism, ritual magick, and deep depravity. She is passionate about exposing the darkness she formerly pursued while pointing to freedom through faith in Jesus Christ. When not serving at church or doing occult outreach on her YouTube channel, you can find Jac writing worship music with her husband under the name Jac and Josh Music. www.jacmarino.com Learn more about Jac here
Dannah Gresh — Dannah Gresh committed her life to the Lord at a young age, but during her teen years she experienced deep personal and sexual pain that disrupted her early devotion. After years of searching, she encountered the healing and freedom found in Christ — a transformation that ignited her passion to help other women experience the same hope.
She began sharing her story through writing, and when And the Bride Wore White became a bestseller, it revealed how many women resonated with her message of purity, restoration, and grace. Today, Dannah has written more than 30 books, translated into over 10 languages, many of which are used for individual and group study. Two of her well-known titles, And the Bride Wore White and Get Lost, also include accompanying video curricula. Through her ministry she equips women and families by providing resources, speaking at conferences and events, and bringing moms and daughters closer to one another and to Christ through True Girl. Her mission is to help women of all ages heal from past wounds, live in the freedom Christ provides, and step confidently into a vibrant, purpose-filled future.
