DR. HOLLY VARNUM currently serves as the Director of Curriculum Development for Reasons for Hope ministry. With degrees in education, curriculum and instruction, and educational administration, she has decades of experience working with teens and adults in camp ministry, teaching and administration, and curriculum writing (A Beka Book, Focus on the Family, and Answers in Genesis to name a few). Saved at a very young age, and serving the Lord ever since, she has a passion for God’s truth and communicating it with others. She is so thankful God has provided her with a well-rounded perspective through service as a homeschool Mom, classroom teacher, instructional coach, administrator, camp counselor, Sunday School teacher, ladies’ Bible study teacher, and conference speaker. Her hobbies include cooking and baking, hiking, camping, travel, and working on do-it-yourself projects. Holly and her husband, Paul, (Reasons for Hope’s Director of Media Content) also enjoy any time they can spend with their three grown daughters, two sons-in-law, and two grandchildren (so far!). They live in the beautiful state of Maine, and yes, eat lobster (properly pronounced “lobstah”) whenever they get a chance!
