Be You Women's Conference 2026

We are excited to welcome Jennifer Rothschild as our event speaker for our 2026 Be You Women's Conference on March 13 & 14.
At the age of 15, Jennifer was diagnosed with a rare, degenerative eye disease that would eventually steal her sight. It was more than a turning point for the Miami, FL native. Her dreams of becoming an artist and cartoonist faded. Words and music have replaced her canvas and palette for more than 30 years.
Jennifer has been a featured speaker for the nation's largest conference for women, Women of Faith. She's also been on the platform with Women of Joy, Lifeway Women Live, and Extraordinary Women. Since 2018, she's hosted the popular 4:13 Podcast where she provides weekly biblical wisdom and practical encouragement to help women live the "I Can" life of Philippians 4:13.
She is the author of 20 books and Bible studies with combined sales of over one million units, including the latest video-based Bible study, Heaven; When Faith Becomes Sight and the best-selling book, Lessons I Learned in the Dark.
We cannot wait to welcome Jennifer and all of you to City Hope for what we pray will be an event full of great worship experiences, fellowship and fun!
