Speakers for November 2017

The main reason we gather women together is to provide teaching that is biblically sound, accessible, engaging, challenging, and inspiring. We pray hard about who to invite and spend a lot of time looking for gifted local women who have wisdom, integrity, and a heart for reaching and encouraging others.

We are so excited for this lineup and know these women will bring you Gospel truth with a side of humor and draw you closer to Jesus and one another. We will be introducing each of these women in separate posts.

ANITA SCOTT

Our dear friend Anita Scott will be joining us again with her incredibly moving spoken-word poetry. Anita has become a mainstay of Deeply Rooted in November.

Meet Kathy Khang

kathykhangcrop

I (Tammy) met Kathy Khang through Twitter. We had a ton of mutual friends so she kept coming up in my timeline. I noticed how passionate she is about social justice, racial reconciliation, and making Jesus known. I’m constantly impressed by her wisdom and discernment and always challenged by her writing. We’re so excited to introduce Kathy to you and know that you will encounter truth through her.

Kathy currently serves as a regional multiethnic ministries director with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF)/USA. She coauthored More Than Serving Teaabout the intersection of faith, culture and gender, and it tells just part of an important story of Asian American Christian women.

Check out Kathy’s blog Writer, Speaker, Coffee Drinker and follow her on Twitter and Facebook.

“How does society view ambitious women? Kathy Khang helps us understand what honorable ambition looks like in a culture that promotes the exact opposite.” Watch this short video of Kathy Khang speaking at Q.
