Background- As a teenager, Jennifer experienced what would be called a “radical” conversion from New Age philosophy and practice to Christianity, then to the Seventh-day Adventist religion. Family- A few years later Jennifer married her (current and only) husband Michael Schwirzer, at the time a good-looking US Forest Service treeplanter (who still cleans up rather nicely). The couple has two lovely young adult daughters, Alison and Kimberly, and several grand-dogs. Education- In 1999, Jennifer graduated from Atlantic Union College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in religion. She completed her Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling through Capella University in March of 2008. She is currently working on her dissertation in a doctor of education program at Liberty University. She runs a counseling practice out of her home office in Orlando, Florida, where she is licensed by the state. Seminars- Frequently Jennifer presents seminars at churches, retreats, conferences and camp meetings. Two of the most popular are Finding Peace, a seminar on individual mental health and To Love and Be Loved, a seminar on relationship health. Recently Jennifer has begun training coaches and counselors through her counseling practice, Abide Network, often conducting the training at her ministry’s retreat center, Abiding Place Farm. Media- Jennifer has been a frequent guest on 3ABN, Hope TV, and other networks. Recently 3ABN asked her to host a program called A Multitude of Counselors. It is now in its third season. Jennifer also co-hosted a 3ABN program on sexuality called Intimate Clarity. She has produced several series’ through Life and Health Network—7 Deadly Psychological Sins, 7 Deadly Relationship Sins, God Made Love, and Anxiety and Depression Relief, a six-week psychoeducational course. Writing- To date, Jennifer has written or co-written fourteen published books: Testimony of a Seeker (Pacific Press, 1999), A Most Precious Message (Pacific Press, 2000), I Want it All (Review and Herald, 2003), and A Deep But Dazzling Darkness (Amazing Facts Publishers, 2004), Dying to be Beautiful (Review and Herald, 2005), A Light for the Last Days (Amazing Facts Publishers, 2006), Finding My Way in Milwaukee (Review and Herald, 2007), A Gospel Story (Michael Ministries, 2009) and Twice Upon a Time (Fire Engine Publishers, 2009), 13 Weeks to Peace (Pacific Press, 2011), and 13 Weeks to Love (Pacific Press, 2015). Damsel, Arise! was the women’s Pacific Press sharing book of the year in 2019. The second sequel to 13 Weeks to Peace, 13 Weeks to Joy, was released in January of 2020. She has also co-authored Safe Churches: Responding to Abuse in the Faith Community, released in 2020. In addition, she has written countless articles, which have been published in magazines such as the Adventist Review and Liberty Magazine. Music- Jennifer’s unique folk-style guitar music has touched thousands of people. She has given hundreds of concerts all over the U.S. and Canada, and has appeared in Europe, Central America and Africa. Her CDs receive airplay on radio stations all around the U.S. She has recorded about 200 songs of her own composition, many of which have unusual titles, such as “My Favorite Foods,” and “It Stinks in the Ark but It Sure Beats the Ocean.” Her recordings have sold over 30,000 copies. Recently she completed, along with a collective of musicians called The Lesser Light Collective, The Lamb Wins, a cantata based on the book of Revelation, and The King Dreams, based on the book of Daniel. Jennifer’s greatest credential is that she loves Jesus and is a friend to many. A warm, caring Christian, Jennifer has touched many lives. She currently lives in Orlando with her husband Michael.

Sponsored by: New Market Seventh-day Adventist Church Kernersville Seventh-day Adventist Church About Our Speakers: Ralph and Joni Henderson’s passion for vibrant, healthy relationships is based on their personal challenges and victories during their 41 years of marriage, and their experiences as a pastoral couple. They have had the opportunity to work with couples in many situations. Pastor Ralph and Joni Henderson currently pastor the Kernersville SDA Church in Kernersville, NC. Prior to Kernersville, they pastored in the Asheville, NC area, Florida and California. They have been in pastoral ministry for 23 years. The strength, love and commitment found in their marriage is quickly recognized by those they minister to. Young people have expressed to them “your marriage is the kind of marriage I want our marriage to be...”. The Hendersons recognize all marriages are the work of a lifetime. They seek to love each other and be an example of the way Christ wants our marriages to represent Him. Joni and Ralph have conducted marriage seminar weekends, pre-marital counseling and counseling for couples in crisis. Through their ministry, the Hendersons seek to share the principles of a successful and vibrant Christ-centered marriage. Ministry work began before their pastoral journey. Ralph was called to Florida as a Minister of Music over 30 years ago. After working two years as a Minister of Music, he began “Call to Praise” ministry. During this time, Ralph produced 10 music CDs and the family traveled overseas and across the US for six years, presenting concerts while homeschooling their two children. Ralph’s son and daughter often joined him when presenting concerts. Ralph has written countless songs and his love of playing the guitar and singing has been part of his life for nearly 50 years. Together, Ralph and Joni have also presented lifestyle seminars and cooking schools. They are passionate about health and taking care of the temples God has given us. They strive to live out the principles they teach and enjoy lifting weights together, walking on trails, hiking in the mountains and spending time with their grandchildren. They both find it vital to spiritual, emotional and mental health to sit with Jesus in the early morning hours. Ralph and Joni have a son, (Garrett, 38) and a daughter (Aubrey, 34). They have five grandchildren ranging from ages 16 years to nine months. "We must build brick by brick, becoming marital masons."
