Welcome to the Entrust Conference

As a wife, mother, mentor, and teacher of God’s Word, Cherie Wagner has dedicated her life to knowing Jesus Christ and making Him known. Cherie founded Neue Thing in 2011, a ministry committed to encouraging, equipping, and empowering women with God’s Word. Author of Found On My Knees, Awake O Sleeper, Rest, HOPE: Tethered to an Unwavering God, and Psalms for Life, Cherie boldly proclaims God’s Word while taking women on a journey to deepen their faith and understanding of Jesus.

Cherie was born and raised in Chicago, but transplanted to the desert of Arizona in 2006. She is a wife to Jeremy and a mom to their son, Redford. Though a city girl at heart, Cherie also enjoys weekend getaways with her family up north in the mountains. But most often, you’ll find Cherie, coffee cup in hand, surrounded by a group of women in her living room, diving into God’s Word. Connect with Cherie at neuething.org

Jenilee Samuel is founder & podcast host at Java with Jen Podcast, CEO of J. Samuel Styling, mom to four boys, and serves alongside her husband as Executive Pastors in Orange Tx. Her mission is to hasten Jesus' return through relationship-discipleship, equipping the church & it's leaders to hear His voice and walk as Jesus did, and funding missions through business. She has spoken to groups ranging from 8 person Bible studies, to 85,000-person Stadium events, but she considers her greatest achievements to be those she has discipled into a deeper walk with Jesus, who then disciple others to know him better too. Discipleship & hearing God’s voice is at the core of her life-mandate,... that and coffee on the side doesn’t hurt ;).

Courtney Lowman is a wife, mom, speaker and podcast host.  Courtney’s time as a high school and Bible teacher, missionary, and discipler has convinced her that women have an absolute need for discipleship and mentorship. Wishing she could share her own mentors with others, Courtney created The Journey of Ruth Podcast. Each episode reflects her mission to help women Love Jesus, Read His Work, and Reach Others. The weekly podcast episodes, full of targeted conversations, wisdom, and plenty of laughter, have grown to reach a global audience. Courtney enjoys living out her mission closer to home as a volunteer alongside her husband in their church’s college ministry, as a speaker, and as a discipler of young women. When teaching and speaking, Courtney’s energetic and honest presentation of the Word of God encourages women to connect with scripture in a consistent and personal manner; allowing the Bible to not just inform, but direct their daily lives. When she’s not teaching or speaking, Courtney can be found reading, baking, having coffee with friends, or spending time with family.

My name is Jennifer Porras! I am a wannabe “gen z” millennial, originally from Southern California. After living in 4 different states, I made my way to Arizona mid-pandemic in 2020. I currently serve as the Youth Admin at Scottsdale Bible Church but have a heart for building up and discipling college women! When I’m not working, I enjoy hanging out with my pup and my friends with a Diet Coke in hand!
