[April 27, 2015]  LINCOLN - National speaker and author, Ellie Lofaro, will return to Lincoln Christian University (LCU) on Wednesday, April 29, 2015. Joining her for LCU’s 2015 Christian Women’s Conference, “Stronger,” is three-time Grammy award nominated singer, Michele Pillar.

Lofaro visited LCU previously in 2011 and 2012. Her message is a wonderful blend of plainspoken truth, common sense practicality and disarming humor. Drawing from the context of real life, she deftly handles the Word of God and steadily directs her audiences to consider what concerns them in light of God’s timeless truths. Using her trademark quick wit and convincing demeanor, she airs Biblical principles with life’s deeper questions. The result is an audience who willingly joins Ellie in the journey toward better understanding and applying God’s grace and truth to their lives.

Untangled is said to be the most honest book ever written by a female author, many times over. Pillar survived the common ravages of alcoholic parents. Later, God taught her how to lean on Him to function free from the damages of it. Pillar says, “We are all damaged in some way. As a child, God met me under the bed where I hid to escape the madness of my home-life and now He meets me on stage, as I hang up my former beliefs on The Clothesline for all to see. I think my stories usher in courage for attendees to face their stories.”

The annual event at LCU’s Earl C Hargrove Chapel Auditorium is an opportunity for Christian women from Illinois and neighboring states to be inspired and renewed by world-class speakers and each other. This year’s event will also have an interpreter for the deaf present. Registration is required and includes all four conference sessions and lunch. Registrations received by April 22 are $35 per person and $40 per person thereafter.
