Francie Taylor

Francie Taylor will be the main speaker both days.  Francie is an author, teacher, speaker, and founder of Keep the Heart, a teaching ministry for Christian women. She loves the Word of God and teaches at ladies’ conferences and retreats in and out of the country. On September 15, 2017, Francie’s beloved husband and soul mate, Norman H. Taylor went home to be with the Lord five months after being diagnosed with two very aggressive forms of cancer. In the final week of his life, Norman gave Francie many instructions including this: “Don’t stop teaching.”  Through the ministry of Keep the Heart, Francie continues to teach and write lessons and materials designed to help Christian women to “keep their hearts with all diligence.” (Proverbs 4:23)  The Taylors have three adult children: Austen (and wife Jessica), Hillary, and Collin.  Francie is a wonderful speaker and we are excited to have her speak to our ladies this year!
