Brenda Warner

Brenda Warner is a speaker, philanthropist, and New York Times best-selling author. She is the mother of seven children, a grandmom of two, a registered nurse, and a marine. But most of all, she is a storyteller who candidly shares her struggles in hopes that her life experiences can help other women. Through her message of hope and faith, and her charitable work, she inspires others during their own dark days.

As a sought-after speaker nationwide, Brenda encourages her audiences to take responsibility for their choices and to depend on their faith when they hit rough patches. Audiences have cried and belly-laughed during her keynote speeches at women’s conferences, banquets, churches, sporting events, and business expos. Listeners have found practical hope through her stories about her family, her work with special needs children, her triumphs over obstacles, and the blessings and burdens of being a celebrity wife.

Together with her husband, Hall of Fame NFL QB Kurt Warner, Brenda is also co-founder of two non-profit organizations: First Things First and Treasure House. As the creative catalyst for most of the First Things First Foundation programs, Brenda’s ideas often originate from her own life experiences. Under the direction of Brenda and her husband, the foundation seeks to promote Christian values and to bless those who are struggling. Several years ago, Brenda had a vision for a home where young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities could participate in their community, achieve independence, and realize their purpose. That home, called Treasure House, opened its doors to residents in 2018. Brenda also uses her passion for creating works of art through her welding shop as a fundraising catalyst for Treasure House. Metal Art by B includes a unique collection of jewelry and metal art.

In 2009, Brenda joined Kurt in co-authoring a book appropriately entitled, First Things First: The Rules of Being a Warner which debuted on the New York Times Best Seller list. In 2011, she released her memoir “One Call Away – Answering Life’s Challenges with Unshakable Faith.”

The Warner’s inked a deal with Lionsgate Films to bring their life story to the big screen with producers Kingdom Studios at the helm. The movie called, American Underdog, was released in theatres December 2021 and received an A+ CinemaScore and a 98% Rotten Tomatoes audience score.
