Kelly MinterSpeaker and Booking Agent Information

Her childhood was seasoned with competitive sports learning the guitar singing and a litany of church activities in the congregation her father founded and still pastors. Like many young women Kelly dealt with inner struggles - anxiety and depression were a part of her growing-up years.

Those struggles are what drove me to Scripture Kelly says and the catalyst for me to learn for myself who God is. Throughout her high school career Kelly played basketball competitively expecting that to be her path into college. But after a scholarship fell through she began playing music.

And God began a new thing.Kelly moved to Nashville in the summer of 2000 and released her first record with WORD followed by a subsequent release on a different label leading to her first No. 1 single on the Inspirational Charts This Is My Offering.

Shortly after this success and several cross-country tours her record company folded leaving Kelly to rethink her vocation and ministry. In the middle of an ever-changing music industry and on a tour through Colorado Kelly met a book publisher who would two years later sign her to her first book deal.
