Elyse M. Fitzpatrick

"No fluff. No bricks. Just good news of a crucified and risen Savior."

Elyse holds a certificate in biblical counseling from CCEF (San Diego) and an M.A. in Biblical Counseling from Trinity Theological Seminary. She has authored over 25 books on daily living and the Christian life.

A frequent speaker at women's conferences, she has been married for over 50 years and has three adult children and six really adorable grandchildren.

Along with her husband, Phil, Elyse attends Risen Church in the North County of San Diego, where she soaks in truth about Jesus and the great good news of the gospel.

Elyse loves the southern California lifestyle...lived mostly outdoors. During the "winter" (what's that?) you'll probably find her taking long walks near her home. But during the summer months, you might see her squeezing into her wetsuit and riding waves with her grandchildren and friends. She enjoys walking and soaking up the SoCal "Life's a Beach" vibe. Of course, she also loves reading everything she can find and especially enjoys her silly family podcast, "Front Porch with the Fitzes." In addition, she is cohost of the Worthy podcast, where the voices of women and men are joined together to honor and value women.
