Our Professional Bios

Linda Maynard is a grateful follower of Jesus Christ, shaped by faith, family, loss, and enduring hope. Her daily rhythms flow from continual engagement with the Lord in prayer and Scripture, and her relationship with Him means everything to her.

She is the devoted wife (for 35 years and counting) to Dave and the grateful mama to Hannah—and to Noah, whom she holds in her heart after his sudden passing in 2021. While grief is part of her story, hope defines it, anchored in the promise of reunion at God’s table.

Linda has served on mission in Mozambique and mentored students for years. With a background in local and global outreach ministry, public relations and fundraising, and a lifelong love of writing, her greatest joy is sharing the hope found in Jesus.

Sue Lindsey is a connector at heart who loves gathering people, listening well, and gently pointing them toward Jesus in everyday moments. She and her husband, Doug, recently celebrated 30 years of marriage and are joyfully embracing life as empty nesters with their blended family of four grown children and cherished grandchildren. Sue and her family also understand the heartache of loss as they have walked together through the death of Doug’s adult son.

Sue delights in simple joys—good coffee, dark chocolate, meaningful conversation, and time outdoors—but her deepest calling is walking alongside women as they grow in faith. She believes spiritual growth happens best on level ground, as women journey together toward higher ground.

Through church ministry—including high school ministry, mission trips, small groups, moms’ ministry, and neighborhood Bible studies—Sue draws on her experience in leadership, sales, and event planning to serve and support others. Sue seeks to encourage women to live fully as God designed them, rooted in purpose and anchored in Christ.
