Sherry Boykin is the founder of Faith and Tales and the heart behind the But-Kickers movement. She is an avid storyteller and chronic believer in the power of faith narratives to change lives. She loves to use biblical and personal accounts to help audiences move beyond their obstacles, glean fresh perspectives on life, and live differently as a result. Her experiences in urban and suburban ministries, Peruvian Amazon jungle missions, long-term singleness, marriage & family, and men's dorm-living shape her life and provide a colorful backdrop from which to share the Word of God.
