Ami Loper
Ami has been preaching since her teens and has her Master’s Degree in Theology. A gleeful puzzler, a persistent solution-finder, a hunter of clarity, Ami finds her joy in discovering connections and truths tucked in corners of the Word of God.
As an author and guest speaker in churches and at conferences, she brings those truths to light as she crafts words that bring transformation. Ami’s mission is to use the challenges she’s been through to resource others into their freedom by bringing hope to the wounded, spiritual food to the hungry, tools to the learning, and kinship for the invisible.
Ami and her husband live in Arizona and love few things more than surrounding themselves with their children and their growing number of grandchildren.
