Get To Know Jenn


Jennifer Hand, founder and Executive Director of Coming Alive Ministries, has a desire to provide an invitation to Come Alive in Christ through conferences, retreats, and written resources. Jenn started her love of speaking and teaching the word of God when she got her first Precious Moments Bible at the age of eight years old.   She used to have her friends gather on the playground and come to her Bible club. Jenn now has an active international speaking ministry.

Jenn has written six books,  her latest with Moody Publishers, My Yes is on the Table: Moving from Fear to Faith, released April 2022. With a Master’s degree in Trauma counseling, Jenn is blessed to travel the world ministering in post-disaster situations and third world countries.

Jenn lives in Tennessee where she loves to drink strong black coffee, collects way too many coffee cups, and travels the world on one Jesus adventure at a time.

This year Jenn is part of the Prayer Team & will be taking 15-minute appointments.

Breakout Session


This is How I Fight My Battles

In April 2022, I released my first traditionally published book with Moody Publishing. It was a dream come true. Shortly after releasing a book about living with my yes on the table, God told me to live it, and I found myself in Ukraine ministering in an actual war. But unfortunately, I was not a trained soldier—unprepared for the battlefield.

I realized there were similarities to how I felt about releasing a book. Speaking and writing put you on the front lines of a battle. Do you ever feel unprepared for the battle? How do you battle fear? Imposter syndrome? The attacks of the enemy that make you want to retreat?

In this workshop, participants will

  • Dive into what Ephesians 6 means as we step into our calling to write and speak
  • Develop their battle plan
  • Learn what it means to find “battle buddies.”
  • Leave the workshop identifying some of their battles and finding the truth about how God fights our battles

15-Minute Appointments


Next Steps Cheerleader

Jenn would love to meet with you and encourage you in your next steps, helping you make a plan, recognize your fears and pray together about your next faith steps.

Jenn has been self-published and traditionally published, had a full-time speaking ministry and non-profit since 2012, and would love to answer any of your questions.
