Guest Speaker: Gretchen Stevenson
“Styled with Grace”
Gretchen Stevenson is a Bible teacher, speaker, author and ministry leader with more than two decades of experience teaching, mentoring and discipling women. Known for her warmth, authenticity and contagious sense of humor, Gretchen has a gift for engaging audiences and creating an atmosphere where people feel welcomed, seen and valued.
Gretchen believes everyone deserves to know they are deeply loved by God and that their story matters. With a passion for opening Scripture and making biblical truth relatable to everyday life, she inspires women to move beyond simply knowing about God to truly knowing Him.
Through her teaching ministry, Bible studies, Sacred Conversations and Abide Podcast, Gretchen shares a message of hope, healing and identity in Christ. Her greatest desire is to help women encounter Jesus, discover the freedom found in His love and live confidently in the truth of who He created them to be.
