Get To Know Jenn


Jennifer Hand, founder and Executive Director of Coming Alive Ministries, has a desire to provide an invitation to Come Alive in Christ through conferences, retreats, and written resources. Jenn started her love of speaking and teaching the word of God when she got her first Precious Moments Bible at the age of eight years old.   She used to have her friends gather on the playground and come to her Bible club. Jenn now has an active international speaking ministry.

Jenn has written six books,  her latest with Moody Publishers, My Yes is on the Table: Moving from Fear to Faith, released April 2022. With a Master’s degree in Trauma counseling, Jenn is blessed to travel the world ministering in post-disaster situations and third world countries.

Jenn lives in Tennessee where she loves to drink strong black coffee, collects way too many coffee cups, and travels the world on one Jesus adventure at a time.

This year Jenn is part of the Prayer Team & will be taking 15-minute appointments.

Breakout Session


Waiting for the Yes: What About the In-Between

Raise your hand if you do not like waiting. You have a dream for a book, to be asked to speak at that speaking engagement, to join that ministry team.

Waiting on a God-sized dream is a special kind of hard.  You sense a calling from God.  A desire to be used by God.  You are longing to walk in faith and place your yes before God.  But what do you do in the waiting for the yes to that manuscript, that speaking engagement, that particular leadership position you feel called to take?

In this workshop, participants will learn how to:

  • Worship while they wait. We will dive into how you worship while you wait because even in our waiting, God is working.
  • Work while they wait. God is faithful to show what He has for us in the now as we wait for the next
  • Build a community as you wait.

15-Minute Appointments


Next Steps Cheerleader

Do you have some questions about where to take your next faith steps?  Are there fears stopping you from putting your yes on the table?

Jenn would love to meet with you and encourage you in your next steps, helping you make a plan, recognize your fears and pray together about your next faith steps.

Jenn has been self-published and traditionally published, had a full-time speaking ministry and non-profit since 2012, and would love to answer any of your questions.
