The 2026 Speakers

Holly Snell


Holly Snell is a speaker, author, and ministry leader known for bringing hope, honesty, and deep biblical encouragement to women navigating both mountaintop moments and life’s hardest valleys. Following the tragic loss of her first husband in a ministry accident in 2000, Holly’s journey through grief, healing, and restored purpose became the foundation of a ministry marked by compassion, authenticity, and unwavering faith in the goodness of God.

Today, Holly serves alongside her husband, Aaron, as Co-CEO of Hope Women’s Center in McKinney, Texas, one of the nation’s leading wholistic pregnancy medical clinic campuses, while also speaking at churches, conferences, podcasts, and events across the country. Her messages invite women to encounter God’s presence in every season — especially in the waiting, the wandering, and the unexpected places of life.

Holly is the co-author, alongside her sister Heather Gilion, of Dancing on My Ashes and is currently writing her upcoming book, Home Before Arrival. She and Aaron have three children and one grandson, and together continue to encourage others with the hope and faithfulness of Jesus.

Evett Barham


Evett Barham is a faithful servant whose life’s work testifies to God’s grace. As one of the leaders of Your Place Resource Center, she followed a divine calling to create a sanctuary of hope and stability where every person can encounter the restorative power of Jesus.

Through her work co-developing the Project 360 life coaching framework, Evett provides others with the essential tools for holistic transformation. This mission became deeply personal when Evett suffered a stroke; through her own journey of restoration, she intimately learned a new richness of God’s love that now fuels her ministry. She remains steadfast in her conviction that every life changed or cycle broken is the result of an individual’s hard work paired with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. 

Evett lives in Pryor, Oklahoma, with her husband. Together they have three daughters, and two grandchildren. She finds joy in reading, camping, and spending quality time with her family.
