About Gloria Brintnall
How can I serve you and your congregation?
Gloria’s story is timely, shocking, sensational, encouraging, enlightening, and hopeful.
Thirteen years ago, Gloria was fulfilling her God-given assignment. She and her husband had just celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. After serving at Bishop Keith A. Butler’s churches in Michigan and Arizona, they planted a church they pastored together. Then, on December 14, 2009, as Gloria was sitting in her living room preparing her sermon for Wednesday night's service, her husband walked into their house, followed by two strange men in suits. They were FBI agents. In a moment, Gloria’s life changed dramatically.
Her book, "Stuff Happens – H.O.P.E. Anyway," tells the story in a compelling and easy-to-read format. It received a #1 rank on Amazon for new releases.
The subtitle, "H.O.P.E." stands for Have Only Positive Expectations simply because God loves you.
Gloria has worked in ministry for nearly three decades serving as a worship leader, Bible school instructor, staff minister, prayer leader, pastor, and senior assistant pastor. She has helped plant four churches in Arizona and Texas.
She joyfully does whatever God assigns her to do – from one-on-one counseling and prayer to writing and editing for other ministries to speaking for churches and community groups, sharing powerful and inspiring messages of H.O.P.E. (Have Only Positive Expectations) from God’s Word.
Gloria has been married to the Amazing Mr. Mike Brintnall for over eight years. Her two children are serving God wholeheartedly – her son, Matthew Tarkington, is the Senior Pastor of Faith4life church in Carrollton, TX, and her daughter, Ebeth Fielder, is an anointed worship leader, preacher, and Christian social media influencer. Gloria and the amazing Mr. Mike have 7 granddaughters and are enjoying life in the Phoenix area.
