Lisa, an award-winning author of three books, including The Ben Ripple: Choosing to Live through Loss with Purpose, isn’t sure that she ever chose to attend Tyndale (Ontario Bible College).

“Rather, I believe God chose it for me,” she said. “He knew the plans He had for me, plans for a hope and a future ... where He could train me, and instill in me His call upon my life.”

Lisa graduated with a BRE in Camping and Christian Education in 1985. “OBC set my heart free, and fanned the flame to be, and find confidence in all that God created me to be,” she said.

Since then, Lisa has become a wife, the mother of four, and a speaker and blogger with her “Straight from the Heart” ministry that has impacted the lives of men and women across the nation at conferences, retreats, camps, and appearances on 100 Huntley Street, Christian radio, and podcasts with FamilyLife Canada.
