In short: The Lord’s call. Sometimes life doesn’t proceed the way that we would have written the script. It didn’t for Amy Kemp. As a type A woman from head to toe, she graduated with a master’s in journalism from the University of Illinois and immediately began a career in the nonprofit sector. She had aspirations to attain the corner office with the title “executive director,” but that dream and once-coveted professional title have diminished meaning now. Today she uses her writing and speaking skills to assist in various established ministries in the Midwest.

She writes with the passion of a believer who is also a realist and one who admittedly struggles to live a life submitted to the Holy Spirit.view less
