Overview
Transformation doesn't begin with trying harder. It begins as we allow Jesus to transform us from the inside out.
I'm Heather Murdock, a preacher, Bible teacher, author, and founder of Rise and Rejoice Ministries. I speak at churches, conferences, retreats, and women's gatherings, bringing teaching that is rooted in Scripture, Spirit-led, vulnerable, and practical.
My heart is to help people grow in intimacy with Jesus, find healing and freedom, and move beyond inspiration into wholehearted discipleship and everyday obedience. Messages are tailored to each audience and event.

Heather has an amazing testimony and is a powerful speaker, sharing her walk with Christ through her life experiences. The women's day retreat with Heather was both emotional and uplifting, filling my own heart with a renewed desire to deepen my relationship with Christ and share it with others.

May 1, 2015Love, honesty and passionate!
Heather loves Jesus and He truly shines through her! Her testimony gives hope of how Jesus can change anybody and any circumstance. I was so blessed at our day retreat learning her method of how to have a deep and intimate relationship with Jesus. She taught and guided us with ease, clarity and love. I can see that Heather depends on the Holy Spirit to inspire her and guide her through the entire event. This is the second time I have had the privilege to hear her speak. She is such a warm and loving person and a cherished sister in Christ.

About
Heather Murdock is a preacher, Bible teacher, author, and podcast host who helps people connect biblical truth to what's happening in their hearts, relationships, and everyday lives. She speaks at churches, conferences, retreats, and women's gatherings, calling people beyond inspiration into wholehearted discipleship, spiritual maturity, and faithful obedience to Jesus.
In late 2018, Heather and her husband, Vince, founded Rise and Rejoice Ministries, a Kingdom discipleship, worship, and outreach ministry with one mission: to make wholehearted disciples who make disciples. Through the ministry she leads Woman, Emerge, a women's discipleship community that gathers quarterly, and hosts Rise and Rejoice retreats, where people come away to encounter Jesus, engage biblical truth, and take practical steps toward lasting change.
Heather's teaching is shaped by her own story. She shares a powerful testimony of healing and transformation in Christ, told with honesty and hope, so that people who have walked with Jesus for decades and people just beginning both find room to grow.
She is the author of Rise and Rejoice: A Heart Transformation Journey for Women (published 2022), a six-week discipleship study that helps readers deepen intimacy with Jesus, practice forgiveness that restores freedom, and replace lies with biblical truth. She also hosts the Rise and Rejoice Podcast.
What event hosts are saying:
"Heather brought powerful insight, not only from her own testimony, but through the Word of God. Our ladies loved the immersive experiences and the rich worship that her team provided. She speaks with love, joy, and Holy Spirit fire. I highly recommend her for any retreat, conference, or special event!"
— Sharon Hughes, Twin Cities Church
"Heather speaks from a Biblical place that goes deep into the heart... between Heather's testimony and the use of God's Word, she is powerfully dynamic and can minister to a diverse crowd."
— Schaunna, Pastor
