Denise Glenn is an
author, popular speaker, and the founder of
MotherWise.
Together she and her husband, David, now serve as President and Vice
President of Kardo International Discipleship Ministries, a non-profit
international discipleship ministry.
Denise began the
MotherWise
ministry in 1981 when she had three preschoolers. From a prayer time
with one other mom, this ministry has grown to include women from all
across America and around the world. Denise has been featured on Family
Life Today/Campus Crusade for Christ radio programs, Josh
McDowell’s radio broadcast, Winning Walk radio and television
programs, the Family Enrichment Television series. She has also made
guest appearances on national radio programs from Seoul, Korea, to
Nairobi, Kenya, and has been keynote speaker for conferences in
Austria, Australia, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, China, Korea, Indonesia,
Vietnam, the Philippines, the Azores, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Kenya, and
Botswana. She is an internationally sought-after speaker for women's
conferences, meetings, and retreats.
Denise has authored four Bible studies for women that include Wisdom
for Mothers, Freedom for Mothers, Restore My Heart, and Keeping the
Secrets of Jesus.
Using her own personal experiences ranging from infertility to three
teenage daughters to married children and grandchildren, Denise blends
her warm personality with an ability to clearly define Biblical truths.
Her entertaining speaking style and creative use of visual aids endears
her to women and allows her to share personal stories to teach women
about God's Word.
Combining deep spiritual insight with the ability to relate practically
to each woman in her audience, her written materials are in-depth Bible
studies, written so that Bible students of every level can enjoy
learning and growing in Christ.
In the summer of 2003, Denise and David made an international move to
Indonesia with David’s job as a geophysicst. Staying for two
fruitful years, planting MotherWise and FatherWise, Indonesia continues
to remain one of Kardo’s anchors to the nations in SouthEast
Asia. Following a two year furlough in the U.S.A., David and Denise
were called again to another international move to Perth, Australia.
Needless to say, Kardo International Discipleship Minstries are
spreading across Australia like a bushfire.
The Glenn’s have a passion for sharing God’s Word and
travel internationally while balancing their time with their first
ministry, three beautiful married daughters and are enjoying adding
grandchildren to the family. To date, they have eight grandchildren
under the age of ten.
