Michelle Dierks Keynote Speaker

Michelle Diercks and her husband live in Iowa surrounded by cornfields. God has blessed them with two amazing sons who are now young men building their own lives. She is learning to navigate this empty nest season and parent their boys from afar.

Michelle has studied and taught God’s Word for over 30 years and has a passion for helping women find peace in God’s promises through every season of life - whether it is the busyness of raising children, the transition of an empty nest, or any of life’s unexpected changes. Michelle desires to walk alongside women as they discover the peace, rest, and hope found in God’s presence. She is the author of "Promised Rest: Finding Peace in God’s Presence" and "Promised Hope: Finding Peace in God’s Faithfulness." As well as leading women’s retreats, she is a Bible teacher, author, podcast host, and Christian Life Coach.
