Emma Mae McDaniel

We all long to be confident and know where our worth is found. To satisfy this longing, we look to people’s opinions, a new romance, or our own successes, and yet, we still find ourselves insecure and discontent. We find ourselves in this place because if our confidence is in these things, then when they let us down, our confidence goes down with them. When people don’t like us, there goes our confidence. When the romance disappoints, our contentment fades. When we fail, our stability is shaken. 

As the Founder of Compelled Ministries, Emma Mae is an author, speaker and podcast host who is living on a mission to lead and encourage this generation to grow in a genuine relationship with Jesus and live compelled by His love. Traveling to speak God's Word excites her to the core and she stewards her social media platform to reach and encourage people all over the globe. The "Have You Heard?" podcast, with over 5 million listens, releases an episode weekly where Emma Mae creates a space to help people hear God's Word and grow in their faith. Her books, "Be Loved", "All-Caps You", and "You Are", were written with the purpose of equipping young women to live the life they were made for through genuinely knowing the God who made them.

Through experiencing intense bullying and immense praise, she has found that what God says of her is what keeps her steady when the opinions of people are unsteady. Even though it has attracted mockery from many, she has learned to be unashamed of the joy of the Lord because she knows it is the Spirit of God within her. She has found that whatever her circumstance, she can be content because joy is found in the presence of God - not in a certain circumstance. From personally experiencing life-change through knowing God, she is passionate about seeing others experience this life-change too.
