Here is some information about the speakers at this year's Calling All Women Conference:

Denise Smallwood

My name is Denise Smallwood. I was born and raised in Gadsden. It was through a blind date I met and married the late John Smallwood. God blessed us with 3 children who are all now grown, but still living within shouting distance. I am also blessed with 4 grandchildren who keep me busy in the 4th quarter of life. I retired from public education after 25 years. After retirement I knew I wasn’t ready to stay at home…..yet. God has allowed me to be a part of Mt. Pleasant Christian School for the past 8 years. It is a joy (most days) to continue working with children and being involved in an awesome ministry. On Sunday mornings I get to teach the best group of women. They are such an encouragement to me. We laugh and cry together. Our saying is this: “What happens in Sunday School stays in Sunday School.” I am privileged today to be able to share God’s word with you. I hope that what God has given me blesses and encourages you in some way.

Amanda Plunkett

I am a small town girl who married her college sweetheart. My husband, Jeremy, and I have been married for 4 1/2 years and we have one daughter, Annie Brooks. I work full time as Head Teller at Citizens Bank & Trust in Guntersville. My husband and I are currently serving as Children’s Directors at Connect Church Albertville. We have been in ministry together for 6 years now where we have served students, children, and worship. We are excited to see where God sends us next! In my spare time, I enjoy baking, singing, and spending time with my little family.

​Brandy Hunt

My name is Brandy Hunt, I’m 34 years old and I am a follower of Christ! I have been married to Cody Hunt for 14 years and together we have 2 boys, Parker 6 & Easton 5. Cody & I are currently teachers of the Young Married Class at our church, where I also serve in our choir & on our praise team and Cody serves as a Steward. We both love the Lord, our church, & our family and stay busy with all 3! I work at Citizens Bank & Trust full time in the Operations Department and run my own business selling Scentsy full time. Between all we have going on in our busy lives, God provides a way to make it all work! We are a blessed family and love the life God has so graciously gifted us with!

John Ross & Rebecca Debter

We have been married for nine years and as with most marriages, things haven't always been perfect.  We each grew up with different home lives as children but we've always had a common goal for our children.  We have three children and we live on a seven generation farm in the Snead area.  Family and a relationship with God have always been very important to us and we have verbalized that you our children but haven't always lived it out equally.  After finding common ground in our individual levels of faith, we can now honestly say that in the past couple of months we have reached a new level of what those two things really mean to us. We want to share our story with you and tell you how God has been working in our marriage and in our home.  Our main goal is that you can learn something from our experience so that you can enjoy a renewed hope in your marriage and family.
