Our Speakers

Dr. RoseAnne Coleman

When Dr. RoseAnne Coleman speaks, she helps women find their place in the story of God. In addition to the Bible, she uses humor and her life experiences to draw in a crowd.

“I don’t come as the expert,” she says. “I tell you about what hasn’t worked in my life. I tell you about what Jesus has done and continues to do for me.”

Born in Sylacauga, Ala., she grew up as a preacher’s kid in the Southern Baptist denomination. She “graduated” 13 times from her father’s Vacation Bible School. However, it wasn’t until she was age 23 that Jesus became alive to her.

While watching the movie, “The Hiding Place,” the life story of Corrie Ten Boom, Dr. Coleman experienced Christianity in a freeing way. And she wants to do this by encouraging women into this experience, no matter where they might be on their spiritual journey.

“I want every woman to feel welcome, valued, and comfortable with who there are in God’s eyes, and then know our Savior is more than capable to grow them into who they are meant to be.”

Although she could explain the Greek and Hebrew meanings of passages, she likes to simplify the scriptures for ordinary people. Since there is so much in the Bible that people can understand, she wants to help them grasp it and apply it to their daily lives. She is committed to the belief that her students can find joy in the journey of faith.

As a former high school and middle school English teacher, she has mastered keeping the attention of an audience. In addition to her speeches at conferences, conventions and retreats, she regularly teaches Tuesday women’s Bible studies at Fellowship Bible Church in Brentwood, TN.

Dr. Coleman will be teaching a series called, “The Desperate Women Tour,” in Bible studies at her church, Fellowship Bible Church of Franklin, TN. She will take her listeners from one desperate Old Testament person to another, showing their circumstances, how God cared for them, their response, and demonstrate how every woman can learn from these elder brothers and sisters.
