STEPHANIE CARTER
Contributor
Stephanie grew up in church as a pastor’s kid and gave her life to Christ at age 11, but it wasn’t until she came to Brookstone Church over 25 years ago that she truly understood what a personal relationship with Jesus meant—and everything changed. She and her husband, Andy, served as youth leaders for over a decade, helped launch one of the first college ministries, and led a group for single moms. Stephanie later joined the Brookstone staff, leading teams and building community. She is passionate about encouraging women to live with purpose and be who God created them to be. Through her blog, Marriage, Ministry, and Messiness, she learned to share real-life moments and reminds others that when we show up with transparency, extend grace, and don’t forget to laugh, that’s where true transformation begins.
