Beyond the stage, Barb is an author and entrepreneur with a Bachelor’s degree in International History and a Master’s in Education.

And if you're looking for a weekly boost of encouragement, her blog offers practical strength and inspiration for the journey ahead.
Barb serves in various ministry leadership roles and is the Executive Director of The Dented Fender Ministry. When she’s not inspiring crowds, she’s in the kitchen baking, enjoying the outdoors, or spending time with her family. She lives in Dayton, Ohio with her husband and their blended family of seven.
