Jenedy Paige
PRESENTER BIO

Jenedy considers her greatest masterpieces her four children — three here on earth and one in Heaven. She and her husband, Victor, share a love for adventure and travel, often exploring rock climbing crags around the world.
When she’s not painting or training, Jenedy enjoys jump-roping, playing the piano, and singing songs from musicals. She also loves eating dinner for breakfast, and watching a good rom-com.

Creating With Christ: Trusting God with the Canvas of Your Life
CLASS DESCRIPTION
Personal growth rarely happens all at once. Like a painting, a life is created through layers, revisions, unexpected colors, and periods when the finished work is difficult to imagine. Drawing from her experience as an artist, Jenedy Paige will explore how God patiently shapes and refines us over time. This session will consider how trust, agency, and the grace of Jesus Christ can help us remain hopeful when we feel unfinished or cannot yet see what God is creating.
