Bio:
Jo Ann Fore is a popular blogger, certified Life Purpose Facilitator, and author of When A Woman Finds Her Voice: Overcoming Life’s Hurts & Using Your Story to Make a Difference.

Passionate about women walking in freedom, Jo Ann leads women into full, free lives—lives of joy and purpose. While her own story is one of brokenness, it’s also a hope-filled story where God’s grace and mercy run deep.

With a willingness to step into the hard places, Jo Ann serves a powerful promise of hope to a woman’s heart, a hope strong enough to lead to lasting change. She often writes about the tough challenges today’s Christian women face—proving how God can use every piece of our lives, no matter how broken.

Jo Ann has been published in national and international magazines like Guideposts, Lifeway’s HomeLife, Christianity Today’s Just Between Us and Today’s Christian Woman, Salvation Army’s Priority, Australia’s leading Christian Magazine, Alive, and many others. She uses her words to encourage women to:

• Uncover faulty thoughts, replacing them with life-transforming truths
• Move beyond deep-rooted hurts
• Grasp the comfort of the sovereignty of God
• Make changes that last

The “everyday” Jo Ann loves peppermint herbal tea and a great organic salad. She is a nerd with an insatiable appetite for words—an absolute book-freak and perpetual student. When her nose isn’t buried in a great book (or three), you can usually find her submerged in her favorite warm-water pool, traveling across the country, or hanging out with her five-year-old granddaughter. She and comedy-magician husband Matt live in the mountains of Tennessee, where she talks incessantly about her daughter Tabitha, and grandchildren Lacey and Nathaniel, to anyone who will listen.
