Meet Rikki Hummel, PhD

With a breadth of experience in various aspects of ministry, education, and leadership, Dr. Rikki Hummel generously gives and leads from within. She sees every life task as ministry, understanding that God receives the glory when she works for His purpose. Rikki cares deeply about others’ success and makes every effort to be an encourager and cheerleader to all.

Like most, Rikki has wandered cavernous paths of doubt, shame, failure, and regret; but it’s through these experiences and life journey that she has been equipped to lead others and serve them in a way that only a broken believer can. Her “Dear God” journal spans 30 plus years and was the inspiration for not only her ministry but also her Blog. You will find some of her most intimate thoughts sprinkled throughout the website and Blog, including passages from a time when she exchanged her love for God with bitterness and distrust.

Currently, Rikki lives in a rural area in North Carolina with her husband and two dogs. She continues to serve others by volunteering at her church and within her community. She’s a creative enthusiast who never stops dreaming or doing.
