| Amanda's Bio |
 |
As a child Amanda Crabb faced trials and hardships that could have caused her to point a finger and blame God. Although some people would have reacted as such, Amanda has allowed her circumstances to make her rather than to break her. There was a time in Amanda’s life when she ran from God, but she knew deep down in her heart if there was ever a hope for her life and her future that hope would be found in nothing but the blood of Jesus.
|
| Born in Maysville, Kentucky in 1980, the former Amanda Hardin battled the call that God had placed on her life since she was a small child. The enemy realized the work that God had for Amanda and tried with all he had to steal that from her. In search of herself Amanda followed many roads, including that of a beauty queen, which led her all the way to the Miss Kentucky beauty pageant. |
The enemy even tried to hinder the marriage God had ordained, but by the grace of God, Amanda and Aaron Crabb overcame the attacks on their relationship and were married in October 2001. It wasn’t until they had been married for two years that Amanda realized exactly what God had in store for her. Aaron, sibling and vocalist of the Dove Award-winning, Grammy- nominated Crabb Family had already announced his calling to preach the gospel. In August 2004 Amanda finally surrendered to the call of God on her life to preach the gospel as well and has been going full force ever since.

While Amanda is obedient to step out in boldness into the doors God daily opens for her, she is quick to acknowledge her husband as her spiritual leader and mentor. Amanda says that Aaron is a tower of strength for her and a light that she can follow in her life. She recognizes that God has used her husband to bring her life to the fullness of the plan God had in store.
|
Amanda also recognizes that fulfilling God’s plan for her requires a daily walk, but she is experiencing Psalms 16:11 which states that in His presence is fullness of joy and at His right hand are pleasures forevermore. Amanda has found that living in the presence of God is where she is able to surrender to Him and find healing and power. That is the message she shares in her ministry.
|
Amanda’s ministry has led her to churches, ladies’ conferences, and various other evangelical services all across the nation. She is also the host of the television show, Fresh Ground Faith, based in Knoxville, Tennessee. Ironically, as a child, when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, Amanda always responded “a talk show host.” God truly fills the desires of hearts who delight in Him.
|
Amanda has had the opportunity to minister to men and women alike who are facing situations similar to the ones she has faced in her life. She has watched the power of God break chains and set countless lives free to live in victory! Amanda shares the hope that although the enemy wants people to believe that there is no way out and that they are bound to their situations, God wants to set them free to lift their hands in praise!
|
Amanda and her husband Aaron believe that God is preparing them for future pastoral ministry work, but in the meantime they are embarking upon an evangelical ministry. They have a son, Elijah David and another one on the way!
|
| As Amanda continues to desire more of God in her life, the sky is the limit for where the Lord plans to take her ministry. He declared in His word that He knows the plans He has for His children, and that they are plans to prosper and not to harm. Those plans are just beginning to unfold for Amanda Crabb. |
