About the Author

Lori Schumaker: Christian Writer, Author, Speaker

Hi! I’m Lori

I am a wife and a biological, adoptive, and special needs mom who loves Jesus and the people He has given me while I’m here on earth.

My heart aches when I see lives meant for purpose buried beneath stuff like fear, shame, and insecurity. I lived that way for too long. Insecurity kept me from living free until I finally saw myself in the reflection of my Savior. Because of this, I can’t help but write, speak, and teach about Him, His character, His glory, and His everlasting-life-changing love for us.

That’s why I created this website and do what I do. I know God has joy, peace, and hope for you. I want to help you find it. I will give you Biblical insight, practical steps, and encouragement to break free of insecurity by knowing God and His love more.

See how I can help you!
Know Who You Are

But Even More Importantly, Know Whose you are

What Others Have to Say

Lori is a beautiful representation of God’s love. She speaks straight to the heart of women. Her vulnerability with her journey with women is what leaves those who hear her speak transformed and not alone in their circumstances. Lori knows and understands the struggles and joys of being a wife, mother, and woman in today’s society and she provides biblical truth to the world’s pressures and identities. She knows who God is and her passion to let women truly understand their identity in Christ is encouraging. Lori is a writer and speaker that does not shy away from sharing the hard questions and insecurities women struggle with. Lori breathes life into the truths of who we are in Christ anytime she writes or speaks.

Lori is a gifted communicator for large or small groups. Her warmth, authenticity, and passion for Jesus and His transforming power in her life will inspire and encourage you. When she spoke to a group of writers at my retreat, her knowledge and practical how-to’s simplified the seemingly impossible for participants and gave us all hands-on hope.

I’ve had the pleasure of hearing Lori Schumaker speak at multiple women’s events. Her joyful and loving nature makes women feel at ease when they hear her speak on various topics. She is an authentic speaker who knows the hearts of women. Lori isn’t shy when speaking about God’s truths. She truly understands the power of Jesus’ redemption in all of our stories and uses those stories to further the kingdom. Her personal story is very powerful and is a blessing to anyone who gets to hear it. She teaches on God’s freedom in a world that tries to keep us captive.

If you are looking for someone to speak AT you, Lori is probably not the right fit. But, if you are looking for someone that will come on stage, step into your meeting, event or conference and have an honest conversation with you, who will draw you in like you have been friends for years, share her life, the Truth of God’s Word in an honest and vulnerable way, and allow you to see the love and faithfulness of Jesus Christ, well, then, Lori Schumaker is it!
I had the opportunity to share the stage with Lori at an Aspire Women’s Event. I was blessed and ministered to. She simply is who she is and reminds us to embrace the beautiful mess that we are and simply come to the Lord and allow Him to refresh us, heal us, and be made new.
Mia Koehne

Lori is a wonderful communicator with a tender teacher’s heart. Her desire is to instill the hope and the love of God in those who are hurting or lost. When Lori speaks you sense that she’s been there – in the struggle. She gets it and she wants to come alongside you and encourage you through your journey. Lori has overcome much and the joy of the Lord has truly been her strength.
She thoughtfully shares her life experiences, engaging her audiences with humor and authenticity. Her compassion is boundless and through her words, the depth of her faith flows effortlessly to touch those in the room. After hearing Lori speak, you will walk away refreshed and encouraged in God’s love for you and hope for tomorrow — for her words comfort those with the comfort she has been given.
