So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. -Romans 10:17

As a teenager, Brittany competed in the National Bible Bee for six years. By God’s grace, she won second place two times and fourth place once. The greatest prize, however, was God’s Word hidden in her heart. Participating in the Bible Bee taught Brittany how to study large portions of Scripture and inspired her to memorize twenty-six books of the Bible to date. Brittany also wrote and published A Trophy in My Heart to encourage others in Scripture memory and share about her Bible Bee journey.

As an adult, Brittany continues to have a heart for encouraging others to know the Word. She enjoys reciting Scripture and speaking at conferences and other events, as well as leading her Bible study retreat ministry called the Ruth Retreat. She has continued her involvement in the National Bible Bee through contest judging and leading a Bible Bee alumni group. When she is not working or pursuing certification as a biblical counselor, Brittany loves to sing, travel, and enjoy the great outdoors with her family in Deep East Texas.
