Sally and Clay Clarkson were married in 1981. They have served together in overseas, church, and parachurch ministries for most of their married lives. The Clarksons have four children—Sarah, Joel, Nathan and Joy—all educated at home from the beginning. They currently live in Monument, Colorado. In addition to a national speaking ministry, Sally is co-author of Educating the WholeHearted Child, and author of Seasons of a Mother’s Heart, a book of spiritual encouragement and inspiration for home schooling mothers. She is also a published author with WaterBrook Press/Random House with The Mission of Motherhood and The Ministry of Motherhood, books that promote biblical motherhood.

Sally grew up in Texas and New Mexico. She graduated from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas where she majored in English and Speech. She became a Christian early in college, was actively involved in ministry, and joined the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ upon graduation in 1975. After discipling women on a large college campus, she spent three years living and ministering in Eastern Europe. Back in the states, Sally led ministries to executive women and single adults in Denver, Colorado, where Clay was on the singles leadership team. She remained active in ministry after marriage and has been involved in several discipleship and teaching ministries to women and home schooling mothers and their children. She has led annual WholeHearted Mother Conferences since 1998. In addition to being a published writer and an accomplished speaker, Sally has also performed and sung in The Promise, a professional amphitheater production. Sally has homeschooled all her children from the beginning.

Discipleship is the heartbeat of Sally’s life, whether in teaching and motivating other women or in training and instructing her children. Through her books and speaking ministries, God has used Sally to bring encouragement and inspiration to mothers who desire to follow God’s biblical design for their lives. All of her messages are filled with stimulating biblical instruction, touching personal anecdotes and illustrations, and wise spiritual insights born out of her own experience in life and ministry.
