Speakers
Shawndra Lucas is a writer, speaker, and campus missionary. She and her husband, Todd, lead Chicago Chi Alpha, a multicultural, citywide community of student disciple-makers. Shawndra is passionate about using her gifts to build the Kingdom of God, and seeing others released into their callings through discipleship and Spirit empowerment. Shawndra is a spoken word artist, essayist, and author who describes herself as a “high-functioning introvert”. She is a credentialed minister with the Assemblies of God. She also holds a bachelor’s degree in creative writing and a master’s degree in education. Shawndra is a connoisseur of syntax, the 90s, her family history, and pound cake. When she’s not reading, writing, or making disciples, she’s probably trying to keep up with her three boys—Ethan (10), Cameron (7), and Hudson (4).
