Hi, I’m Kara Deneen— the heart behind The Worship Shelf. Led by God, I created this space to help others get rooted in God’s Word and grow into the fullness of who He’s called them to be.
My journey with Jesus has taught me the power of studying Scripture, soaking in His presence, and surrendering completely to His will. These rhythms—Study. Soak. Surrender.—have become the heartbeat of everything I teach and create. Whether I’m writing a study guide or leading a group, my passion is to make the Word of God real and reachable, even for those who feel far from it.
I was baptized in the name of Jesus in 2012 and filled with the Holy Ghost that same year—and my life has never been the same. That moment marked the beginning of a deeper walk with God, one that has continually drawn me closer to His truth and purpose for my life.
Since then, I’ve been faithfully planted in ministry at Word and Worship Ministries under the pastoral leadership of Pastor Jamie and Sian Johnson. It’s here that the Lord has nurtured my calling, shaped my heart for discipleship, and equipped me to serve others through teaching, writing, and outreach.
My mission is to create spaces and resources that help believers live rooted in truth and growing in grace. Through The Worship Shelf, I’m committed to equipping others to study Scripture deeply, soak in God’s presence consistently, and surrender fully to the call of God on their lives.
