Key Note Speaker

Shelly D. Templin is an author, speaker and blogger who shares a message of hope – with humor. She is the author of Pushing to the Peak ~ A Story of the Success-ability of Dr. J. Glen House. Her brother, Glen, became a quadriplegic at the age of twenty and went on to become a successful doctor, businessman, inventor, entrepreneur, husband and father. She tells his encouraging story in the book Pushing to the Peak.

Recently, Shelly published a children’s picture book – Lani’s Icky Habit that is full of surprises. The kid, parent and grandparent reviews are glowing.

Shelly has written for Focus on the Family, is a regular contributor to Hopemommies.org and has guest blogged for numerous ministries.

Shelly has a heart to encourage women to be hope-filled overcomers who recognize God’s faithfulness.

Shelly lives in North Texas with her husband, Jack, of 35 years and an elderly deaf dog. She has three daughters, a son-in-law, and two darling granddaughters. In addition to loving her family, Shelly loves Texas, ice cream, reading, being outdoors, sunsets, hummingbirds and her dog – not necessarily in that order.
