LONG
Casey Hilty is a Christian speaker, artist, worship leader, and author of Her Children Arise: Passing a Legacy of Faith to the Next Generation. She serves as a content partner for YouVersion (the Bible app), Family Christian Online, and Able Moms. Using both storytelling and visual art, she is passionate about taking mothers on a journey from apathy to awe to fall in love—or back in love—with God and His Word. Casey recently jumped back into the world of teaching after being a stay-at-home mom for 14 years. She teaches interpersonal communication, public speaking, leadership, and performance art as a Speech Communications specials class to 900 third to fifth-graders at her kids' school.
Her artwork serves as a vital part of her writing and speaking ministry by encouraging believers to adorn the walls of their home with scripture (Deuteronomy 6:6-9) and to utilize their own creative gifts to bring glory to God. In 2014, she founded a ministry for moms called, MOMentum, at The Bayou Church that brings multi-denominational moms together each semester to study the Word of God. With everything in 2020 moving to a virtual model, she created a group called Her Children Arise—A Community for Moms on Facebook for mothers to grow in Christ, build a legacy of faith for the next generation, and find joy in the mundane. There, she shares encouraging messages, tips on faith training, Family Faith Activities, triumphs and trials of mom life, her favorite books and resources for moms and kids, and more.
In both motherhood and servanthood, Casey strives for authenticity and intentionality. Casey has been married to her beau, Bo, for over 14 years and has three hilarious and fun-loving, school-aged kids: James, John Leyson, and Lena. Together, Bo and Casey frequently lead mission trips to Haiti to visit their sister church and three sponsor kids and have a heart for the people and culture there. When she isn’t writing or painting, Casey enjoys singing, playing her guitar, snuggling with her family, doodling, reading a good book, and playing board games. The Hilty family is immersed in Cajun culture and lives on a tee-tiny farm in South Louisiana affectionately called #LenasBigFarm. You can find her on Instagram @caseyhilty and Facebook @caseyhilty1 and at www.caseyhilty.com.

Her Children Arise: Passing a Legacy of Faith to the Next Generation
Memories of her mother sitting in the living room with a Bible on her knee had Casey's great-grandmother ask the question:
"Who of my grandchildren will carry this on?"
The Word of God would have been extinguished thousands of years ago if not for parents passing faith down to their children. “Her children arise and call her blessed…” (Proverbs 31:28) is the legacy of a mother who has put Christ in the center of her heart and home, and who has led her children to fall in love with Him.
Her Children Arise shares the stories of biblical moms who remind us that the home is and has always been a mission field for mothers to live out the gospel of Jesus Christ. Even in the throes of sleepless nights, toddler tantrums, and the challenging teen years, we can find our joy and purpose through guiding our children to see the heart of God. The secret is that it’s less about family devotions and more about our devotion to Jesus.
