CONFERENCE SPEAKERS
Melody Workman
Speaker & Teacher
Melody Workman is an Executive Director at Sandals Church, Teacher and Motivational Speaker who loves helping women fall in love with Jesus – while laughing a little along the way. She teaches with humor and storytelling, because real life is messy, faith is a journey, and Jesus gets all of that…He gets us.
She’s been married for over 25 years to her husband Adam (Discipleship Pastor), is the mom to three young adults, and is currently enjoying her newest title: proud mother-in-law. (still pinching herself over this one).
Melody values honesty over perfection and believes real freedom begins when we stop pretending. She often reminds women that “a fake life will never be a free life,” and loves creating space for women to come to Jesus as they are, encounter His grace and experience true freedom.
Tracie Moss
Speaker & Pastor
Tracie Moss is the Campus Pastor for North Coast Church San Marcos/Escondido Campus where she also oversees the Global Women’s Ministry and Military Connection Ministry. She is also the co-founder of Living Well Ministry and co-author of God’s Heart for Your Home. She believes that authentic community-whether at work, in social circles, or at home – is where the beauty and grace of God are most clearly seen.
She is passionate about building healthy teams and communities where people can grow both spiritually and relationally.
Tracie finds joy in gathering around the table with her husband Kevin, their two daughters, sons-in-law, and three grandchildren.
