Kristen Smeltzer

Bringing renewed hope and fresh faith to God’s people, as well as Biblical strategies for impossible situations.

Throughout my 45 years of walking with the Lord, and especially through a particularly painful season, God instilled beautiful insights into His Word and character. I love to weave powerful Biblical truths with personal testimony, in order to restore hope and God-given identity to His people.  My heart is to open eyes to the true nature of God and inspire hearers to believe afresh in the Lover of their souls!

"God’s plan from the very beginning was for his sons and daughters to walk in tremendous authority. But it’s the process of walking through our trials and offenses—with God and man—that prepares us to walk into the greatness of our calling—without pride and arrogance, knowing that without God we are nothing.”

SPEAKING ENDORSEMENTS

“The Lord has gifted Kristen Smeltzer with a wonderful ministry. It's firmly rooted in Scripture, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and filled with God's great love for people. Our church has been blessed the past twenty years by the content of her conferences and retreats, as well as her preaching. Kristen has a joyful sense of humor and is one of those naturally-supernatural people who models life in the Spirit. I've known her for almost forty years and know her as a person of outstanding character and devotion to Christ.”

Bill Dwyer
Vineyard Pastor (Emeritus)

“Loaded with scriptural truths and strategies to help you stand strong in any season, Kristen's book tells the story of a very painful chapter in her family's life, and how God turned what the enemy meant for destruction into beauty and blessing. The truths contained in this book took her many years to uncover, but she writes about them masterfully so readers can learn from what her family experienced. In addition to crafting this book, Kristen speaks nationally about her experience and the strategies God revealed for overcoming the spirit of identity theft. Kristen has been invited by groups that include men and women, and has also shared her message with one of our most vulnerable populations—youth groups. I have personally benefitted from her teaching more than once, and have found her to be an engaging, powerful speaker who teaches with compassion and authority. I highly recommend Kristen as both an author and speaker.”

“Kristen was the guest speaker at one of our yearly, prayer ministry fundraising banquets. On a daily basis we minister to hurting people who feel trapped in the wounds of life. Kristen‘s powerful story brought so much encouragement for the possibilities of what God can and will do on a journey to healing and freedom.”

 Melissa Varner

 Administrator and Prayer Counselor

“Kristen Smeltzer was a guest speaker at a local church. I was greatly impacted by her message on redemption and grace as she poured out her heart and personal testimony. I was deeply touched by her continued love over the years towards someone close to her. She never gave up on loving, amidst deeply hurtful actions. Her delivery and rawness was articulate and touching to my heart. I also appreciated how she combined the use of testimony, sound Biblical teaching and applicable Scripture. The redemption that took place is well worth hearing her beautiful and anointed story of love and grace.”

Andrew, Age 30, Church Guest
