Jessica Kendall	The most meaningful path is not always a straight line. After a decade in the business world, Jessica felt a nagging sensation that something was missing. The passion she developed as a Human Resources professional, corporate Trainer and entrepreneur has been transformed and redirected.    As she began to live out her faith, she was called to share with others this powerful message: true contentment and joy come from living a life of integrity.  Once you discover your divine purpose, fulfillment comes as you make incremental steps toward who you were created to be.  Put the past behind you and take a bold step forward. As Director of The Zone, Jessica enjoys opportunities to encourage others through Christian Life Coaching, small group studies and public speaking. Jessica lives in Franklin, Wisconsin with her loving husband and two energetic and creative children.

Peg Schacht	Peg compares her life to the jar of flour and jug of oil in the biblical story of the Widow at Zarephath (1Kings 17:14).  Though used daily to sustain the widow, her son and those the Lord placed in her care, the containers remained full until the Lord decided to stop the flow.   “The depth and variety of my life experiences are expansive and my passion to experience life to its fullest and help others to do the same is overflowing!” Peg has been on staff at Hales Corners Lutheran Church for 14 years.  The last 5 have been spent fulfilling a passion for worship by leading a team of pastors, colleagues and volunteers in planning weekly worship at HCLC.  She also serves as Dir. of Worship Arts, Multimedia and Prayer Ministries. Her latest venture into uncharted “life experiences” earned her a Minister of Religion degree from Concordia University, Mequon.   Peg is thrilled to stay in the Lord’s “flow” through current training as a Christian Life Coach.  Peg has been married (to the same guy!) for 38 years and they’ve been blessed with a birth daughter and adopted son from Thailand.
