Tricia Harmon
As a born and raised Michigan mitten lover, Tricia served for years as a fully invested Pastor’s wife in both the inner city of Grand Rapids and rural north west Michigan, was married for 25 years, raised and home educated 7 children. While serving in ministry, blindsiding, unthinkable tragedies and traumas of repeated marital unfaithfulness, legalism under pretense, rejection, 2 daughters being sexually molested by their grandfather, the loss of ministry, divorce and abandonment with 2 children in Bible College and 5 still at home she found herself living in shame, isolation. and secrecy.
The consequences may have taken her out of ministry, however, the ministry has never been taken out of her. Since then, though she suffered even more tragedies including the sudden death of her 2nd husband 1 year after being remarried, 2 grueling child custody suits, 18 months of critical intervention through Teen Challenge for one daughter, and most recently a house explosion where she and her 3rd husband lost almost everything, God has faithfully kept her on a path of being authenticated for greater ministry. Through much prayer, counseling, healing, and writing, she now walks alongside others blindsided by adversities and debilitated by the Sabotaging And Negative Dialogue stuck between their ears. She recently self published, S.A.N.D. To Pearls, a unique 3-part personal development study. She is host of LIVE WITH TRICIA Podcast, and a sought after keynote speaker and break out session leader for live and online conferences, retreats, and personal mentoring. Now as a much more sage, silver sister in Christ, God has called her to shepherd the hearts of Shepherd's wives, through Pastor Care ministry.
As a trained actor, she founded and serves as Executive Director of Noble Pearls Media. She's had the honor of receiving VIP awards through Actors Models Talent For Christ, filming in award winning movies, and writing and performing Biblical dramas. She also loves working on the other side of the camera as a casting and film director, and producer.
She absolutely adores her once teenage crush, now husband, Scott, (who declared in his wedding vows, "You were my first kiss and you will be my last."... aaahhh!), Together they try to balance their work, church ministry, time with their blended family of 9 adult children living literally from one coast to the other, their 7 grand kiddos, and their 3rd generation home-bred 11 year old golden lab, Stahr Girl. Tricia Harmon is not who she is in spite of her past, but because of the God given triumphs through the trials, trauma’s, and tragedies the Lord has compassionately and mercifully walked through with her. Oh, and if you haven't noticed, she’s quite the quintessential queen of alliterations. Many say, she should make a movie about her life, and ya know… she just might.
