Mary Shannon

Teacher & Speaker

From the moment we could sit still in our mother’s arms, we have loved stories. Stories around the supper table are some of the best moments in life and are the times we best come to know these people we call family. Much of our heritage is learned through the passing down of stories. This is exactly how the Bible was passed down for generations yet today people seem to believe that the Bible is a list of do’s and don’ts instead of a beautiful story of love, betrayal, forgiveness and redemption.

Shannon uses her divine knowledge of Scripture to put the story back together again. Many people have several pieces of the puzzle, yet they have no idea how it all fits together in the greatest love story ever told. This is what Shannon does! She has an amazing way of connecting the pieces while sharing some of the funniest yet applicable personal stories you have ever heard.

One minute you are laughing and the next minute you realize that the Holy Spirit just spoke and you have an “aha” moment that will stay with you forever.

Michelle Miller-McNair

Comedian

Michelle was born in a small town in North Carolina where she made others laugh as soon as she could talk. Michelle’s talent has taken her around the world, but her southern roots still remain strong. Her quick wit and southern charm are infectious. She was voted at top of the Florida’s Funniest Competition for 3 years and has been featured on Nickmoms Night Out, Dr. OZ, and on the New Comedy Revolution DVD. She’s a regular at some of the best comedy clubs in the country and her versatile show has delighted crowds at fund raisers, corporate parties, and churches.

April Cushman

Artist & Songwriter

April Cushman is an award winning songwriter who has written songs for artists in the pop, country, bluegrass, CCM, and gospel space, including the Billboard #1 hit, My Hope Is In You, recorded by Aaron Shust. April’s music ministry is a megaphone of God’s goodness + faithfulness in the face of grief and tragedy.

April’s debut album, “Deep Waters” is a middle-of-the-ocean personal testimony of the drowning + the rescue. The wandering + the finding. The hurting + the healing. Join April as she worships in the wilderness. Telling her story of hope, loss, physical pain, waves of grief, streams of mercy and God’s steadfast love + faithfulness in every step + every breath.

April leads worship at her home church in Nashville, TN and makes her home with her husband, Trey and their 3 kids. She can often be found with her family on a bike ride, around a board game or at a piano creating another song of praise.
