Barbara A. Walker is an avid student of the Word whose passion is empowering women. The oldest of ten siblings, Barbara grew up in Alabama with a strong desire to teach in public school. Not realizing that dream, God has turned that passion toward teaching His Word in every setting possible.
Barbara is the mother of four and grandmother of six. From nine to five, she is an insurance professional. At all other times, she is a "Woman on a Mission"!
Ask anyone who knows her, and they will tell you that Barbara is a survivor! With God's help, she has grown stronger following each obstacle life has presented. She survived an abusive marriage, breast cancer, and recently-diagnosed cardiomyopathy. She has lived the truth of God's enduring power, emerging from each battle with a more powerful testimony.
Barbara currently resides in Aurora, Illinois and serves at the Main Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Julian E. Spencer. She is a teacher of an adult Sunday school class, a member of the Hospitality and Prayer Ministries, and the Coordinator of the Church's Women's Ministry. She spends her "spare" time publishing a daily devotional entitled W.O.E. (Women of Excellence) Word and speaking at local churches, women's shelters, and various other groups. She loves traveling, particularly cruising, and has a general passion for life.
Barbara epitomizes the "I AM!" philosophy of life.
