Spiritually Inspiring Sisters

Follower of Jesus, wife of Scott, and mother of five, Amy Flatt was born and raised in Florence, Alabama. She has a Master's degree in business administration but when she met the love of her life at age twenty-five, she moved to Tampa and became a stay-home mom. She spends her days cleaning, exercising, cooking, and homeschooling her two youngest children. (Although now she needs readers to see their schoolwork!) She loves fall weather in north Alabama, coffee, her morning quiet time, vintage furniture, and reading by the pool.  Amy believes in prayer, counseling, vulnerability, and belly-laughs.

Jenny Tharp and her husband, Morgan Tharp, recently moved to Tampa after living in Indianapolis, Indiana for 33 years. They served in the Lord’s church at Trader’s Point there where they raised their 3 daughters – Lauren Reagan, Jessie Tharp, & Rachel Soto – who all live in Tampa.
Jenny has always been passionate about teaching and encouraging women and children to love, serve, & obey God. She has helped to develop bible class curriculums, teaching tools, and women’s studies. She continues to both teach and learn about God’s Word. Besides being a homemaker for her family, Jenny has spent much of her time volunteering for organizations and has been the director of the Florida College Ohio Camp for over 15 years. She is grateful for the family and friends who have helped to shape and sharpen her to be more fervent every day in her relationship with God.

Anita has called Stephenville, Texas home for almost 39 years. She and her husband Jim, have been active in the community and schools, but are dedicated to and love the work at the Westside church in Stephenville where they’ve been members for many years.
After they both retired, they stayed busy as caretakers for their mothers and stay available for their family, especially their Granddaughters! They have 3 children: Son, Josh, his wife Katie and granddaughter Adalynn, in Ft. Worth; son Chad in College Station, and daughter Amanda, husband Justin Mock and granddaughter Abigail in Katy.
For 16 years, Anita has been one of the coordinators of the WOW women’s weekend Bible study in Grapevine every February. This is her 2nd time to speak at SIS and appreciates the opportunity to be here again with these great ladies. She is passionate about these special times that ladies can spend time to study the Bible and being together.

Jayce is married to Luke Schobel and they have a 3-year-old son named Brady. They live in Columbus, TX, and worship at West Oaks church of Christ. Jayce went to Florida College and received her Bachelors in Elementary Education. For 6 years, she taught 5th grade until last year when she decided to become a personal trainer. Having a more flexible schedule gives her more time to spend with Brady! Because she still has a passion for teaching little ones, Jayce loves teaching the 2 & 3 year-olds at church and helping out with Vacation Bible School. Jayce is very excited for SIS this year and can’t wait to meet all of the teens.
