About Me

---

My name is Olivia Jones. I love God with all my heart, and I'm passionate about sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. I have designed and facilitated Bible studies for adult and teen ministries for over 30 years. I have written books as I felt led by God and am sharing them with a broader audience that hopefully includes you. (smile) 

I serve my local church in the Chicagoland area in several capacities. My husband, Anthony, is the Senior Pastor, so I am all in on serving God's kingdom and helping our church and ministries thrive. In addition to being a wife, I am a daughter, a mother, a grandmother, a sister, an aunt, and a committed servant of God.

I recently retired from a fulfilling career in financial services. I earned a BA in Liberal Arts from DePaul University and an MBA from Dalhousie University. I have been a student of the Bible for as long as I can remember. I feel honored to serve you through my work. 

Currently, I am helping to facilitate a two-year, chronological study of the Bible with members of my church and other believers. I enjoy studying with this amazing group.

I recently completed studies to become a Ramsey Master Financial Coach and I'm coordinating a Financial Peace University course that will begin in September. I look forward to helping individuals and couples learn to manage their money effectively and achieve their goals. 

On the writing front, I read the initial draft of a Christian fiction book that I wrote decades ago. I just might dust it off and update it. We'll see. 😊

In addition to reading through the Old Testament, I am reading the book below. 

Irresistible:

Reclaiming the New that Jesus Unleashed for the World

by Andy Stanley

Recommendations?

I like nonfiction books that strengthen my faith and expand my knowledge. I also enjoy fiction books that make me laugh or take me on an engaging journey.
