Hi! We are Barry and Kathi Holcomb.
Thank you for visiting our ministry!
Our life together
We met at Auburn University and are celebrating over 30 years of marriage and ministry. Barry has been the pastor of a number of churches in Alabama and Mississippi over the years. Kathi is an experienced, licensed social worker who has stepped out of secular employment in the medical social work field to pursue a passion for teaching the scripture and helping women and married couples apply the scripture to the street level of their lives.
We have two wonderful grown kids, Nathan and Abigail, a precious daughter-in-love, Ludmila, and a beautiful granddaughter, Claire.
Meet Barry
Hello and thank you for your interest in learning more about us and our ministry. I’ve been a minister for 30 years. Preaching, teaching, research and writing about biblical truth have been life-long passions for me. I have also seen a great need for health and recovery for ministers after traumatic church-related life events, after experiencing such things first hand.
In my free time I enjoy reading, hunting, and, of course, playing with our new granddaughter!

Meet Kathi
Hi, it’s so nice to meet you! Studying the Bible, teaching the Bible, speaking and conveying biblical truth for everyday living are my true passions. I’ve spent my life ministering and revealing truth through the Word of God to women who have crossed my path. Walking with other women and seeing those “light bulb” moments is a true blessing to me!
In my free time I like to exercise, read, and disciple women. My delight is to spend time with Claire as well!
