Camille Fronk Olson

Shannon Foster

She's happiest in the mountains with her family, staying up late and losing at board games. She's the founder of The Red Headed Hostess, where she creates gospel learning tools that feel doable and deeply meaningful. She believes the Lord always makes a way—and that walking with Him leads to more than we ever imagined. 

Jenae Nelson

Outside of her teaching, she loves hiking, biking, kayaking with her family, and taking nightly walks with her husband. Her research and life are grounded in a core belief: that Jesus Christ is both the pattern and the power for becoming who we’re meant to be.
