speaker
Shaq Hardy
Shaq and his wife Racheal live in Chattanooga, TN. They previously served the high school students of Biltmore Church in Asheville. Shaq is currently a student at Southeastern in Wake Forest, NC, and is passionate about being a part of life-change, whether through preaching or through intentional life-on-life discipleship.
Shaq was born in south Georgia where he was a foster kid for the first ten years of his life. At 17 years old, he surrendered his life to Jesus at a youth summer camp, and just one day later, he heard his call to ministry.
In addition to preaching at church retreats and summer camps, Shaq hosts a devotional podcast titled Jesus, instead of me, and writes for Gospel Project.
