Hope. Healing. Humor.

(with an overloaded dose of
cowboy boots and Harleys).

That’s what I offer.

Because life’s hardest trials are not our full stop.

 “Laughter, like music, is a universal language.
And Susan Sparks speaks this language like no other.”

–Naomi Judd, Multi-platinum Country Music Artist, Best Selling Author and Actress

 “Imagine a combination of Reba McIntyre and Jodie Foster … in a pulpit (or on a stage). Add a wicked sense of humor and you have Susan Sparks.”

–Jen Haupt, Author and Award-winning Journalist

 “Susan Sparks is a Harley-riding, cowboy boot-wearing, joke-cracking,
ordained badass. (That’s okay to say about a pastor, right?)”

–Coats Guiles, Award-wining Broadway Producer and Playwright

 “An incredible pair of boots, a motorcycle, a wicked sense of humor and a heart that warms you like a huge southern-style breakfast. That’s my pastor Rev. Susan Sparks!”

–Tamron Hall, Co-anchor of Today and host of MSNBC’s Live with Tamron Hall
