Women’s Retreat Speaker: Donna Thoennes is beyond grateful to be saved by God’s overwhelming grace. Her best days start  with her Bible on her lap, her Golden Retrievers at her feet, and a cup of English breakfast tea in her hand. Her best days end with a clean kitchen, a snuggle from each member of Team Thoennes, and a book freshly laid on the night stand.

Donna recently completed twenty-five years of teaching in the Torrey Honors College at Biola University, and continues to teach women’s bible study at church, college campuses, retreats and conferences internationally. She is thankful to get to teach and write on biblical and theological studies, discipleship, church life, marriage, and parenting.

She got to marry her high school sweetheart 37 years ago, much to the disappointment of many of her classmates in Essex, Connecticut. She and Erik celebrated a recent anniversary by hiking in the French Alps. Her absolutely beautiful children look nothing like her! Caroline, Paige, Sam, and Isaac were adopted from Taiwan and China at ages 6-8 and are now 19-25. She is humbled that God chose her to be their mom and regularly tells them so!

Donna also loves hiking, gardening, hospitality, pickleball, and skiing among Giant Sequoias!
