Annessa Chumbley
I live in Indianapolis, Indiana, and consider being a momma the best job on the planet. I'm in love with my Savior and have found the closer I get to Him, the more I realize I'm nothing like Him and have a long way to go. I am a dietitian, and have such a particular love for learning about God through the food He created that I began my own business around it ~ Flourish. I love adventure, nature, cooking, creating, meeting and learning about new people, and treasuring each moment given by God. I have a heart for brokenness. It's an honor & blessing to be speaking at this event. If you're coming to PALS, I can't wait to meet you!

Jill treadway
I am Jill Treadway (age 38), and the things that make me who I am and define my edges are my core beliefs in God the Father and his ability to save us. As a mother of two Josie (14), and Gage (13), I've found now that one of my greatest responsibilities lies within the task of raising Godly children and having them see God in the way I live and act each day. My husband Randy and I (of 18 years) reside in rural southeast, Ohio just north of Marietta in Lowell, on 27 acres where we only raise children and grass (a dog, cat, and pig as well). We attend Marietta / Reno Church of Christ, in Reno. I first obeyed the gospel call in 1985, at age 10. When I'm not working as an RN, EMT-A, or Firefighter, you can typically find me volunteering as one on two neighboring volunteer fire depts. If I'm not in the squad, or with a patient, you can find me high in a tree dressed in camo bow hunting in the fall and winter seasons. My greatest love however is simply being surrounded by the love of my family and living a peaceful life in the woods.
