 Aprile Sweers, her husband Greg, and her son Shepherd (born March 2009) live in Brandon, FL where Aprile is a stay-at-home mom, blogger (www.marinateblog.com), and Bible study teacher at Bell Shoals Baptist Church. Her firm belief is that only God through His Word has the power to change women’s lives. This belief fuels her passion to devote herself to expository Bible teaching. Aprile’s ministry is driven by a deep desire to encourage and equip women to live Bible-saturated lives that reflect the beauty, worth, and transforming power of Jesus Christ.
Aprile received Christ as her personal Lord and Savior when she was 8 years old. A decade later, as she taught her first Bible study to a group of ninth grade girls, she knew that teaching God’s Word was both her gifting and calling. After getting her BA in accounting from the University of South Florida, she set off to Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary where she earned her Master’s degree in Christian Studies.
Aprile’s deepest desire is to fulfill God’s calling on her life by being a devoted helpmate to her husband, a loving mother to her son, and an uncompromising teacher of God’s Word to women of all ages. The cry of her heart is found in Psalm 71: “My mouth will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation all day long, though I know not its measure ... Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, til I declare your power to this generation, your might to all who are to come."
