Speaker

Heather Gilion

Hi, my name is Heather Gilion, my husband and I have two wild and wonderful boys and we live in Ozark, Missouri. I began painting Scripture art for others in 2013. God has given me a passion for His Word and I'm on a mission to do my part in spreading His truth whether it's by painting truth-art for homes, or speaking at women's events and churches, or through writing devotionals. My sister and I co-authored the book Dancing On My Ashes: learning to love the One who gives and takes away and along with the ministry He's given me to share our story of what He's done, I'm watching Him continue to gift and equip me with this art ministry. It is truly a joy and honor to bring the Word to life in art-form for homes.

Founder & Host

Kayla Barlow

Hey, I'm Kayla Barlow!
I’m the girl behind Worthy, a dream that started with a nudge from Jesus and a deep desire to remind women everywhere that they are so worthy... not because of what they’ve done, but because of who He is. I wear my heart on my sleeve (sometimes literally), and I’m all about cheering on Worthy Girls as they step into their true identity as daughters of the King. I have created online Bible studies, host joy-filled in-person events like the Worthy Conference, and do my best to make space for women to encounter Jesus in real and powerful ways. When I’m not working on all things Worthy, you’ll find me serving as Executive Pastor at Realove Church in Seymour, Missouri, right alongside my husband and best friend, Johnathon James Barlow (he’s the Lead Pastor and I hate to admit this but likely the funnier one between us). We’ve got three amazing kiddos—Ariah, Judah, and Isaiah—who keep our days loud, wild, and full of love. Our family is on mission to love Jesus big and see the lost become found. And me? I’ll be over here, still saying it: Girl, you are so Worthy.
