Central Ohio Radio Station Recognizes Drenda Keesee



Drenda Keesee is a woman you just have to know. At least that’s what the peo­ple at Sunny 95 out of Colum­bus, Ohio think. It’s what a num­ber of vot­ers who voted her one of the “20 Out­stand­ing Women You Should Know” think, as well as what hun­dreds of mem­bers of the church she co-pastors think.

When Drenda began home­school­ing her chil­dren in her small farm­house she was deter­mined that there would be more out there for her­self and her fam­ily. With her hus­band, Pas­tor Gary Keesee of Faith Life Church in New Albany, Drenda set out to make a change. Together, the hus­band and wife duo began study­ing the prin­ci­ples of the King­dom of God out­lined in the Bible. They also started a busi­ness. While still learn­ing the prin­ci­ples them­selves, they began to teach oth­ers how to get out of debt and live free of that bur­den. As they con­tin­ued to build their busi­ness, and later Faith Life Church, Drenda con­tin­ued to pur­sue her pas­sion of help­ing hurt­ing women around her suc­ceed in liv­ing a ful­fill­ing life as godly women, wives and mothers.

In 2010, she fur­thered the vision by author­ing the book She Gets It – a pow­er­ful book about becom­ing a woman who loves her life and who she is as she dis­cov­ers her iden­tity in Christ. Along with the book, Drenda held a top-notch con­fer­ence for women, fea­tur­ing such tal­ent as singer/actress Rebecca St. James, author/speaker Michelle McK­in­ney Ham­mond, and nation­ally acclaimed come­dian Anita Renfroe.

Along with women like Ellie Hite from Project Clause, and the Angel Works Foun­da­tion, and Rose­lyn Beery, a Sal­va­tion Army vol­un­teer and for­mer par­tic­i­pant in USO shows, Drenda was hon­ored at an event held by Sunny 95 radio on Fri­day, Feb­ru­ary 25 at the Aladdin Shrine in Colum­bus, Ohio. The event fea­tured the 20 rec­og­nized women and the var­i­ous causes they sup­port. Atten­dees were pam­pered with free gifts, hand mas­sages, pho­tographs, and more. With some­thing for every­one – from infor­ma­tion on every­thing from per­sonal health to new floor­ing – the evening had an eclec­tic blend of tastes, sights, and sounds. Drenda’s table fea­tured her book, as well as infor­ma­tion about her church.

If you missed the event, you can get to know Drenda on tele­vi­sion. She cur­rently co-hosts a tele­vi­sion pro­gram with her hus­band Gary. She is also now the host of her own tele­vi­sion pro­gram, Drenda, com­ing this spring.
