BIO:

A month before her sixth birthday, Shelly lost her mom as a result of a yearlong battle of complications from a tragic car accident. Her mom’s struggle after the accident brought much pain and difficulty for Shelly, her four sisters and brother. In addition to being thrust into a life of poverty, she lost her youngest sister, had little to no adult care or supervision, was shuffled into several foster homes while suffering abuse at the hands of these care-takers.

During Shelly’s powerful testimony, she uses humor and poignant details as she shares many of her life experiences, from the loss of her mom to the abandonment of her natural father… from months of abuse by her foster father, to the abuse and rejection by the one who chose her (her adoptive mother).

As a very unlovely, angry teenager, she shares how two godly women obeyed the Lord and chose to love her unconditionally and invest in her life, ultimately making the difference in her life to choose the path of righteousness.

With excitement and victory Shelly demonstrates the reality of Romans 8:28, revealing God’s sovereignty and protection on her life. Shelly struggled through healing from her past during much of her adult life.

During the powerful closing of her testimony Shelly shares how believing in God’s sovereignty, accepting who she is in Christ, understanding the power of trusting in the Lord, and accepting His boundless love for her brought her to a place of healing and victory.

Shelly Brown’s testimony and message is geared toward women of all ages and in all walks of life. Believing that God has a purpose for every woman, she offers practical biblical insight and tools that every woman needs to have a victorious walk with the Lord, while exploring some life-directing questions, such as, “What is my purpose in life?” “Does God really love me?” “What does the Bible really mean by “All things work together for good.”...and more.

At 35, Shelly has been married twelve years to business owner, Carl Brown. They have three children, Jordan 10, Jake 8, and Delaney 7. Along with her husband and children, Shelly has served faithfully at Orlando Baptist Church for 22 years.
