Sharon Jaynes 
has been encouraging women through ministry for over twenty-five years. From the time she met Christ as a teenager, she fell in love with God’s Word and has had a passion to equip women to live fully and free (John 8:32; John 10:10). Her passion is to encourage, and empower women to walk in courage and confidence as they grasp their true identity as a child of God and a co-heir with Christ.

For ten years Sharon served as Vice President of Proverbs 31 Ministries and co-host for their daily radio feature. She is the author of 17 books with Harvest House, Moody, and Multnomah Publishers (see resource page for details). She has also written numerous magazine articles and devotions for publications such as Focus on the Family, Extraordinary Women, Decision, Crosswalk.com and In Touch. Sharon is a frequent guest on radio and television programs such as Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Leigh DeMoss, Family Life Today with Dennis Rainey, and Focus on the Family.

Besides her own books, she has also been a contributing author in many books such as Chicken Soup for the Sports Fan’s Soul, Stories for the Teens Heart, Stories for the Man’s Heart, and the Women’s Devotional Bible. Her books have been translated into several different languages including Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, and Korean

Sharon is the co-founder of Girlfriends in God, Inc., a non-denominational ministry that crosses generational, denominational and racial boundaries to bring the Body of Christ together as believers. She, along with her ministry partners, Mary Southerland and Gwen Smith, provide daily on-line devotions read by approximately 400,000 subscribers and turn-key conferences packages


Now what you really want to know…That was the official bio, and honestly, it makes me sound a lot more studious and accomplished than I really am. So let me tell you what you really need to know.

I’m just a simple gal raised in eastern North Carolina who loves the beach, drinks too much sweet tea and is still crazy about her husband after thirty-two years.  If there was ever a situation where I had to run for my life, I’d just plan on meeting Jesus because I wouldn't get very far. The treadmill is becoming my new friend, but we’re not all that chummy yet.

I have one grown son that lives 767.5 miles away (yes, I timed it). Being his mom has been one of the greatest joys of my life, but he grew up without my permission. Seriously, he is a creative whipper-snapper whom God has used to teach me many life lessons.

When I write my blogs, women always say, “how did you know exactly what I am going through.” My answer is always the same, “because I’m going through the very same stuff you are.” I don’t have it altogether and I certainly don’t have all the answers. But I do know the One Who does, and there’s nothing I love better than grabbing hold of a sister’s hand and learning how to live fully and free in Christ together.



Experience The Ultimate Makeover
Becoming Spiritually Beautiful in Christ
RETREAT & CONFERENCE SESSIONS
         Women love the idea of a day at the spa to be pampered and made-over from head to toe. In this session, Sharon takes women to God’s spa for the Ultimate Makeover. Many women struggle with feelings of inferiority, insecurity, and inadequacy. However, when they discover who they are, what they have, and where they are in Christ, God transforms them into the confident women He intended all along. Women learn how to see themselves as God sees them, change the way they think, and experience the only makeover with lasting results.

  • Session One: A Brand New You! 
In this session, Sharon begins by describing the unrealistic expectations placed on women today. This comical segue invites women to relax and enjoy a little holy humor. Sharon then shares her own personal story of God’s deliverance from tumultuous childhood wounds. She helps women understand that each of us, no matter what our background, can overcome feelings of inferiority, insecurity, and inadequacy, by understanding who we are, what we have, and where we are in Christ…but it all depends on our decision to believe God’s Truth. Seeing yourself as God sees you opens the door to experiencing the abundant life Jesus came to give.

  • Session Two: Leaving the Past Behind 
Sometimes what keeps us from living fully and free in the present is painful events from the past. Many times we sit in the jail cell of shame and condemnation or bitterness and resentment, even though Jesus has flung the door open wide and beckons us to freedom. Whether is it struggling with something that has been done to you, or something that has been done through you…it’s time to let it go and live free. In this session, Sharon shows how to leave the past behind by finding the hidden treasure in each painful situation, forgiving those who have hurt you, and forgiving yourself. Expect to leave this session with the weight of your past off your shoulders and onto His.

  • Session Three: Taking Every Thought Captive 
Scripture says, “As a man (woman) thinks within himself, so he (she) is.” In this session Sharon teaches four essential steps to taking every thought captive and renewing your mind with the Truth. You’ll leave equipped to “out truth” the enemy and experience victory in your thought life!
