Keli Hillier
My story is one of brokenness to victory, of depression to restoration. Using humor, real life examples and practical hands on application of scripture, I share how, from a pit of darkness, I took God’s promises, applied them to my everyday life and saw God turn them into reality. By the end of our time together, you will learn how to release God’s overcoming power in your situation, regardless of circumstances. Whether an evening with an intimate group of women, a large weekend conference or something in between, I invite you into my yesterday of hopelessness, my today of joy and my tomorrow of expectation.
New Message Hot Off the Press
Loving Authentically & Embracing the Broken
As followers of Jesus, we are God's physical representation of His Love and His Compassion. We are surrounded by unbelievable hurt and brokenness: In the world around us, the people sitting in the pew next to us, and often times within us. How often do we arrive at church, put a smile on our face and hide our pain. Church should be the place where we bring our pain, not where we feel the need to hide it the most. And unfortunately, many believers have been hurt so deeply in church that they have walked away from the Body of Christ all together. This is not the heart of our loving God.
After all, how can we show an unbelieving world the genuineness of Christ if we do not know how to be real with one another.

Being saved and living victorious are drastically different and something I learned the hard way. Here is a snippet of my story.
A Little History |
Saved for as long as I can remember.
Battled anxiety and depression for years. Spent 2 1/2 years in bed - paralyzed by fear. Lost home and business in the 90's - had to start completely over. Besides emotional and financial problems, struggled for years with marital issues. Basically spent the first part of my life a saved mess - completely defeated and miserable. Found my true identity in Christ - now let me share my story with you. |
From Pieces to Peace Bible Study
This is a detailed walk through my journey from debilitating depression and anxiety to healing and complete restoration. It includes a massive amount of Scripture, personal stories, and actual activities I did to assist in applying the Word to my everyday life.

I love sharing my passion for Jesus with anyone who will listen. The excitement I now have for life still astonishes me. This passion for living comes directly from the depth and completeness of God’s restorative work in my life. He has lovingly taken me by the hand, healed me and led me into a new and victorious state of living. And, through laughter and tears, I would love the opportunity to share the tale of my journey with you.

Randy & Marli Ministries “Keli Hillier loves the Lord, seeks the Lord and trusts the Lord! Having known her a lifetime, I have watched her study the Word and grapple with the deeper things of God; His sovereignty, deliverance and unmerited grace. We have worshiped together publicly and privately and I am able to confidently say that Keli, with all of her wit and exuberance, is called by God to build His kingdom. He has gifted her to walk women through the turbulent waters of restoration leading them to the land of hope and healing. Keli’s rich experience in Christ is the backdrop for her bible studies and speaking ministry. In today’s world of watered down Christianity, Keli stands on the Word with loving compassion and grace. It has been my honor to witness her remarkable life as a faithful follower of Christ.” Marli Brown Randy & Marli Ministries Speaker, Musician and Author of Ridin’ Shotgun |

Jesus Time
For the majority of my life, I have found the bible to be a very difficult read. Growing up in a pastor's home I have been around the bible my entire life. However, it was not until my mid 30’s that I started to view the bible as a way that God was trying to communicate with me personally and directly - not just in a general, "all of mankind" kind of way. But I know that I know, without getting into the Word I would never have received such a complete healing. It is in the Word where I grew to know God intimately. This kind of relationship takes effort and time on a consistent basis. Often times, I find I have company during my Jesus Time.

Proxy Time
Early in my life, I put zero energy into developing a relationship with God, and therefore had a very shallow understanding of His character. I had no personal connection with God, which would have triggered a necessity to question the lies which I believed about Him.
I would like to note that these distorted views I had of God did not directly come from my parents or husband. I am not quite sure how they developed, but develop they did.
Over time, and in large part due to my lack of a deep relationship with Jesus, these harmful beliefs took root and they matured, some of them growing incredibly strong. These wrong beliefs clouded anything and everything connected to God.

Waiting for Lightning to Strike
While I knew Jesus loved me (at least I got that one right – I mean they did write a song about it,) I honestly thought God very angry and waiting for me to mess up so He could swoop down and punish me.
When a problem arose in my life, I thought it was a sign I had committed some horrible transgression against God and He was furious with me. I lived in fear of that proverbial lightning bolt from the sky.
Thanks to a combination of nauseating arrogance and the small amount of “intellectual knowledge” I had of the Bible, I assumed I had God all figured out and this was just how life was supposed to be.

Have You Heard
"Keli Hillier is a seasoned Christian woman, who has a depth of Biblical knowledge. She grew up as a ‘pastor’s kid’ - and naturally has a gift of communication.
What I love most about Keli is her passionate and yet, humorous style of speaking. She can communicate a very strong biblical truth — and take the ‘sting’ out of it, with laughter! The women absolutely love her!
Keli’s life experiences have helped her to relate to women from all different backgrounds. When she taught from her personally written study, “From Pieces to Peace," many women were not only encouraged, but came to understand their identity in Christ in even a greater way.
Not only has Keli been a personal friend for over 25 years, but she has worked alongside of me as part of our Leadership Team in Women’s ministry for several years. I highly recommend Keli as a speaker for your ladies event."

Just Couldn't Take It Any More
In addition to reconciliation and restoration of our family, God has also, in a way that only He can do, taken the very things that were once shameful, removed the sting and turned them into areas where I now am able to connect to women in a way I never would have been able to before my depression.
I am overwhelmed by the joy and excitement I receive from sharing how Christ has healed me. I absolutely love that God, the Master Builder, has taken the shattered dreams of my life, picked up raw, broken, bleeding pieces and is weaving them together. My passion and delight now flow from this thread of what was once a very dark, deep pit - a pit that I never thought I would break free from.

I am in awe that God has taken me, just as I am, and loved me back into the land of the living and taught me how to breathe again. He then took all my pain and He gave that pain a purpose.
That purpose is to share with other women this incredible life-giving Father we have. A Father who loves us just as we are, in all our sin and brokenness. We don't have to get it all together, lose weight, clean house, get our roots done or even bring our bank account balance positive. He loves us just as we are. |
