Donna Otto
Founder
HBC's primary teacher and advisor, Donna Otto, is a nationally known author and speaker. Donna's enthusiastic heart for Godly women and homes is evident in her inspirational teaching at HBC. Donna challenges women to understand what the Bible says about how to live their lives as women, wives and mothers. She does this by helping her audience understand what God intended by multiple Bible references to the topic being discussed. Donna's teaching blends humor, current-day concerns and Biblical truths into a memorable teaching that challenges women to live "counterculture" lives for the benefit of their families and spiritual health.
