Lynne Rienstra

Lynne Rienstra is a recovering Pharisee and spiritual orphan.

Through her mentoring, speaking (she's taught thousands of women for over two decades), and writing, she leads women out of hiding and into a place of discovering their identity as God’s Brave Beloved.

Lynne has been an English teacher, corporate insurance broker, women’s ministry leader, homeschooling mom, and development professional. Since 2013, she has served as a regional director for Samaritan’s Purse.

She holds a BA in English from Smith College and a Certificate in Spiritual Formation from the Transforming Center. Lynne has contributed to numerous books, magazines, and online devotionals.

Serving alongside her husband, a senior pastor, gives Lynne much joy, as do their adult children and grandchildren.

You can book Lynne for your event, or as a podcast, radio, or TV guest, at BraveBeloved. Access her teaching on YouTube. Lynne can also be found on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and X.
