Nichole Deakins is an ordinary woman, serving an extraordinary God, continually relying on God and His wisdom to be a loving wife, raise three daughters, and live a Christ-centered life in her home, career, and community. She has struggled, wrestled, even failed at times, but is always growing and changing with God’s companionship. Nichole loves to write and speak about lessons God is teaching her and is thrilled to be able to share.
April McNeiece serves part-time as Associate Pastor at Karcher Church, after 26 years at NNU in Alumni Relations. She holds a MA in Spiritual Formation from NNU and was ordained in the Church of the Nazarene in 2015. Married to her high school sweetheart, John, for nearly 52 years, they have been blessed with three children who have, in turn, blessed them with the joy of 10 grandchildren. When she finds time away from family and church, April loves a brisk walk or a leisurely cup of coffee with a friend. Her favorite quote is, “The will of God will never take you where the grace of God cannot keep you.”
Kim Million is an Idaho native and has been active in Christian ministry all her life. She is a speaker, co-founder of Deeper Conference — now Meraki Ministries — and mentor.
