Celeste Gonzales holds many titles—wife, mother, daughter, preacher’s kid, sister, friend, author and pastor to name a few—but she is way more than a title. At heart, she is a lover of Jesus and His people. She’s devoted to her family, passionate about the Word of God, the first call to her friends in a time of need, a shopping buddy when her schedule allows, a cook to unexpected dinner guests, a great hugger when you just need a warm embrace and wise counsel to point you in the right direction. 

Following her life’s mission, to honor God by being obedient in both the small and big things, she passionately ministers to thousands of women across the globe, seeing them come to know Jesus and unashamedly walk in freedom. Celeste comes alive when sharing the gospel to God’s girls, whether in the states, on the mission field, in prisons, or one on one over tea or dinner. Celeste served in vocational ministry for 14-plus years as a conference director and Women’s Pastor. She now combines her life experience and gut-wrenching vulnerability with epic Bible tales and humorous wit to spur you on to your God-call. She currently lives in the suburbs of Austin, Texas enjoying the sites and sounds of her favorite state. Celeste is happiest when she’s with her husband, Daniel of twenty years, and their three kiddos: Syrena, Luke and Kya. 

Celeste is just an ordinary girl living an extraordinary life.
