Personal Profile

Marty is a Licensed Professional Counselor, speaker and author. After studying both the Bible and conventional psychology, Marty recognized that God's plan for our strength and sufficiency to live the abundant life Christ promises is rooted in a greater understanding and personal appropriation of God's love for us as individuals. Her passion is teaching people that no matter what struggles they face in life, no matter what pain they bear, there is hope and wholeness available to them through the healing, transforming power of God's love. One of her books, The Greater Healing, provides a "road map" for the journey from brokenness to joy through God's love.

Marty had a Christian counseling practice for 18 years and has been speaking at retreats, conferences, banquets, etc. for 15 years. In June 2003 God called Marty from her profession as a Christian counselor into a full-time Christian ministry, Exceedingly More Ministries. This ministry includes her speaking and writing ministries.

Marty is co-founder of Celebration, a women's ministry in her denomination. She was the favorite substitute teacher of Beth Moore's Sunday school class. In the fall of 2003 she was the speaker for The Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church Pastors' Spouses Retreat and returned again in 2007.

Marty and her husband, Nick, a pastor, live in Tyler, Texas. They have two grown children, Meredith and Kent. Meredith is a youth director in Longview, Texas and Kent is a lobbyist in Washington, D.C.

You will see the joy of the Lord in her and will be blessed by the message God speaks through her.
