We’re so excited to share our speakers for this year’s Narrow Conference! As promised, we’ve added a little extra to the typical boring bios. Each speaker was required to answer one fun question about themselves or their spouse. Check it out below.
Michelle Myers
What fictional character best describes you? Do I have to pick just one? I feel like I’m a mesh of Monica Gellar (Friends), Leslie Knope (Parks + Rec) and Moana. Ya know, assuming they all found Jesus…
Michelle had no idea what started as a Google hangout at 5am with three friends would one day result in the title of “founder” of she works His way. But here we are, almost five years later, with hundreds of you joining us, gathering for the same reason we started: How can I glorify God, honor my family, and serve others at work?
She’s the creator of Network Marketing Nobility and the swHw Business Tracker, the author of Famous in Heaven and at Home, and a certified StoryBrand Guide and Copywriter. Basically, her work happy place is pulling out of others what God already put in them.
Home will always be her favorite place to be, which is wherever her family is: her husband, James, and their three children, Noah (7), Cole (4) and Shea (2).
James Myers
What is something that Michelle is good at, but she’d never admit it? She’s classically trained in piano, but would never play in public.
James became the she works His way Business Manager after stepping down from his role as a campus pastor in August 2016, following their growing ministries and growing family. His team responsibilities stretch from teaching to bookkeeping, but we’d all agree, he keeps the swHw team on task and on track.
James is a shepherd at heart, but sees the world through a Microsoft Excel lens. (Yes, that’s a weird combination!) He is most passionate about teaching stewardship, leadership, family, and personal productivity, which are all included as part of his new tool, The Life Purpose Statement Action Plan.
James and Michelle have been married 10 years, and have three children: Noah (7), Cole (4) and Shea (2).
Sharie King
What’s one song or artist on the radio that Clayton would lose his voice singing with? Clayton would lose his voice singing Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer.
Sharie is wife to Clayton, mother to Jacob and Joseph and a dog named Theo. She loves art, traveling, biking, a good book, and hiking followed by a spa day.
When she was twelve, she couldn’t imagine doing anything with her life but serve Jesus. She and her husband, founded Clayton King Ministries in 1996 and have been serving in ministry together ever since. Clayton King Ministries exists to serve the local church, to preach the gospel and make disciples. Sharie fulfills this calling through her podcast, traveling and speaking, and writing books and blogs.
Her greatest desire in ministry is to help women move forward in their faith and finish their race well!
Clayton King
What’s the nerdiest thing that you’re in to? Probably my obsession with historical documentaries. I can watch them for hours. WW2, Roman Empire, Greek culture, Victorian England…and anything Ken Burns does on American history (Dust Bowl, Great Depression, CIvil War).
Clayton King is an author, an evangelist, a professor, a pastor, a husband and a dad.
He graduated from Gardner-Webb University in 1995 as a Presidential Scholar and Outstanding Graduate of the Year. He is a Distinguished Professor of Evangelism at Anderson University in SC and has sold over 250,000 copies of his 9 books. He is the Founder & President of Clayton King Ministries, a large non-profit that has sent over 1,000 people on long-term and short term international trips. Clayton is also a teaching Pastor at NewSpring Church in Anderson, SC.
He began his public speaking career at age 14, and has spoken to over 3 million people in 45 states and over 32 countries. He loves his wife, his two sons, black coffee, a good book, and riding 4 wheelers. He prefers Wal-Mart over Target and Apple over Google.
Somer Phoebus
What actress would play you in a movie? Zooey Deschanel (New Girl, 500 Days of Summer, Elf)
Erica Zoller
What is one irrational fear you have? Balloons. I know. It’s ridiculous. Obviously I didn’t pick it:)
Rachel McMichael
Would you rather have the ability to speak every language or play every instrument? Why? I would rather have the ability to speak every language! While it would be totally fun to play every instrument (and my musically challenged self would love to learn the piano and violin again), when I think about the impact speaking every language could have on the spreading of the gospel, and what it would mean to be able to communicate easily and effectively across the world — just WOW!
