[April 16, 2016]   LINCOLN - Lincoln Christian University’s (LCU) annual Christian Women’s Conference will be held from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Wednesday, April 27, 2016. This year, storyteller Michele Cushatt takes the stage with musician Dr. Dinelle Frankland to share “Soul Support.”

Michele Cushatt is said to inspire audiences with the warmth of her transparency and presence. Her unique style is reminiscent of spending an afternoon with a good friend, sparking tears one moment and laughter the next. Having experienced both the best and worst of life, she’s unafraid to disclose her imperfect spaces, so that others will know they are not alone in theirs. Cushatt has delivered talks to women across the United States, including Compassion International, Women of Faith, Focus on the Family, Proverbs 31, She Speaks, Hearts-at-Home, and church events. She’s also taken part in various radio, video and audio recording projects. In 2013, Michele joined the Compassion International team as one of their spotlighted speakers and advocates for child sponsorship. Her first book, a memoir titled Undone: A Story of Making Peace With An Unexpected Life, was released last year.

A remarkable musician and popular speaker, Dr. Dinelle Frankland is Professor of Worship at Lincoln Christian University’s Seminary. She is a native of Albion, Illinois, and holds a Bachelor of Sacred Music degree, a Master of Music degree, and a Doctor of Worship Studies degree. She taught music and worship at the college level from 1979 to 2002, serving Dallas Christian College and Ozark Christian College. She has been a member of the Lincoln Christian University Faculty since 2003. Additionally, Frankland has taught at TCM International, a graduate seminary near Vienna, Austria, and the Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship Studies in Jacksonville, Florida. She is the author of His Story, Our Response: What the Bible Says About Worship. She frequently leads worship seminars in the local church for worship leaders, as well as speaks for women’s conferences and events on a variety of topics.
