Connie and Carl, her husband of 40 years, have lived in rural Minnesota most of their lives.  They have a married daughter and son and six grandchildren.  Connie has been a stay-at-home mom and part-time office employee.

Connie possesses a unique insight into the deepest crevices of a woman's heart.  God has given her the ability to discern and identify truths about who God intends women to be.  She has prayerfully spent many years studying and researching God's Word and His Love for women.  As a result of her seeking God's Truth, He has indeed blessed her and has given her words to speak (through her own life experiences and experiences of others) in churches, home and community Bible studies, and mission trips.  Connie is currently the producer and host of "Jewels for Women", a radio program that can be heard on Q107fm at 10:20a.m. Monday-Friday as well as 104.9fm in Walker, MN and Grand Forks, ND and 107.9 in Thief River Falls, Mn.

Connie recently told in her own words how God began enlarging her territory, which led from dreaming dreams from the seat of a lawn mower to the point now of recording a daily radio program. Below is a 7 minute testimony of the greatness of God and how he can use even a farmer's wife who is willing.
