BIO:

Barbara Benton is a gifted Bible teacher who brings the Word of God alive for all who hear. Her ability to teach Scripture in a way that is relevant to everyday life has opened many doors nationally and internationally for her to speak at seminars, retreats, and churches. She is an in-depth Bible teacher with a passionate and often humorous approach.

As a child Barbara Benton was reared in an environment of poverty, abuse, and alcoholism. These things greatly affected her view of life and she found herself walking in severe depression as a teenager. At the age of 17, life began to take on new meaning as Barbara accepted the love of Jesus Christ as Savior. Over time, God has truly changed her into a new creation and overcomer. She is a living example of how God can “turn mourning into dancing” and fill one’s heart with joy.

Having faced abuse, disappointment in life, and a son with cancer, she knows first hand what trials are all about. Yet, she offers hope and encouragement to those who have been abused or greatly disappointed in life. Barbara will make you laugh and make you cry, but most of all she will leave you encouraged and assured that God is working in the lives of people. She has served as a worship leader, church staff member, Bible teacher, and seminar speaker.

Barbara Benton presently resides in Helena, AL with her husband, the Rev. Gaylon Benton who is a full-time chaplain with Corporate Chaplains of America. Additionally, the Bentons operate Servant To Servant Ministries, a ministry to clergy and spouses. They have three sons.
