Her story

She has lived what she teaches.

Judy takes the hard things she has lived through and turns them into hope for everyone else in the room.

Who is Judy Kennedy?

Judy Kennedy served as Co-Pastor of Mustang Creek Community Church in Forney, Texas, alongside her husband, Robert. They have spent nearly all of their married life in ministry.

A gifted communicator, Judy’s credibility comes from her life experiences. She grew up in a seriously dysfunctional home. She has experienced abuse in difficult relationships, suffered the loss of a child, and endured complicated health issues.

She insists those challenges developed God’s purpose in her. Along the way she discovered His ability to take the difficult things in life and use them for His glory. Her life is a testimony of God’s faithfulness, and it is full of truth lived out.

Alongside an international speaking ministry, Judy writes. She has offered parenting and marriage advice as the columnist “Just Judy”, and she is the author of four books.

Her presentation of truth is simple, passionate, and covered in joy.

In her own words

In her own words

“I was not called to an easy life: I was chosen to live one of purpose.”

Judy Kennedy, Holy Crap

“I choose Life. I’m going to live till I die! I’m Chasing Legacy!”

Judy Kennedy, Chasing Legacy

“There is a moment in grief recovery where we discover something solid enough to hold the weight of our pain, just long enough to help us balance and stand back up. For me, it was conversation with God.”

Judy Kennedy, Who Washed the Sky?
