Kelli Adams/Speaker
Growing up with a dad who developed ski areas and a mom in the horse business, Kelli was blessed with many unique opportunities growing up. She had her sights set on riding for the US Equestrian Show Jumping Team. Though her early years were filled with competition and ambition, her path took unexpected turns. After college, she entered the legal world and later followed her father’s footsteps into real estate.
​
Raised in church but still spiritually searching, Kelli encountered Jesus in a deeply personal way during a time of crisis. Though she spent years doubting what she experienced, God never stopped pursuing her. At age 27, while at an Amway convention, she surrendered her life to Christ. Surrounded by wise, faithful women, she began to grow in her faith and discover her passion for helping others heal.
Today, Kelli lives in Four Oaks, NC, with her husband and mother. Her work in trauma-focused equine therapy has become a ministry, helping others walk through pain towards healing.
At the Flourish luncheon, she’ll share her story and speak on love & forgiveness, themes woven throughout her journey. Her testimony is powerful, honest and filled with hope for anyone longing to see God’s redemptive hand at work.
Lesley Weber Jones/Speaker
Lesley Jones is a Christian artist and songwriter who creates music for people craving freedom, healing, and redemption—the ones who feel too messy for God but are desperate to believe He loves them anyway. Her mission is to meet people right where they are: in the shame, the struggle, and the search for hope, and remind them that Jesus doesn’t flinch at your story—He redeems it.
​
In 2020, after the sudden loss of her mother, Lesley began writing songs in the trenches of grief. That season of heartbreak became the birthplace of a deeper worship—songs that speak to the weary, the recovering, and the ones clinging to grace. Her music is soaked in the rawness of healing and the fierce mercy of Jesus, offering a place of peace for those who feel lost but long to come home.
​
Lesley co-leads Celebrate Recovery with her husband, raises their children, and ministers from home in this season. A nurse currently on pause to follow God’s call into full-time ministry, she shares the gospel through story, song, and Spirit-led encouragement. Her heart beats for the broken and the brave—the Redeemed Seekers—and she lives to echo this truth: No one is too far gone for the love of God.
