Author: Bethany Hardy

Bethany has served as a missionary in Puerto Rico, as a bi-vocational youth/associate pastor’s wife in Indiana, and now as a lead pastor’s wife in rural Leaf River, Illinois. While assisting her husband in youth ministry, she was also on staff at several churches as a children’s ministry director. Beth and Billy have two “kids” in college, Collin and Isabel, and are excited and nervous to move into the empty-nest stage of their lives. Beth is highly competitive during family game nights and loves reading (especially mysteries), doing various crafts, baking, gardening, and exploring antique/thrift stores for hidden treasures. Since seeing the value of Biblical counseling in her own life and ministry, Beth is adding to her Secondary Education - English degree with a Master of Biblical Counseling through Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
