Hi, I’m Karen Brown Tyson
Award-Winning Author,
Hi, I’m Karen Brown Tyson, an award-winning author with a passion for helping others grow in faith and resilience. My first book, Time to Refresh: A 21-Day Devotional to Renew Your Mind After Being Laid Off, Fired or Sidelined, was named a 2019 Finalist in the Religion: Christian Inspirational category of the Best Book Awards. In January 2021, I released my second book, Time to Reset: A 21-Day Devotional to Renew Your Mind After Being Sidelined, Disappointed or Knocked Off Course.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English from West Virginia University and a Master of Arts in English from National University. I also earned a Master of Arts in Christian Ministry along with postgraduate certificates in Christian Leadership, Theological Studies, and Biblical Studies from Liberty University Rawlings School of Divinity. My ministry concentration centers on expository teaching in the areas of spiritual discipline, discipleship, leadership, apologetics, and New Testament theology.
Over the years, I’ve been blessed to serve in God’s kingdom through ministries including Deacon’s Wives, Women, Evangelism, Social Media, and Helps at my church, Elevation Baptist Church. Currently, I serve as Dean of the Elevation Bible Institute, where I teach courses on spiritual discipline, evangelism, and Christian apologetics.
As a graduate of the Jerry Jenkins Christian Writer’s Guild apprentice program, I’ve also developed ministry tools and training materials to support the local church.
On a personal note, I’ve been married to my husband, Kelvin, for 25 years, and together we have one son. We make our home in North Carolina, where I continue to write, teach, and encourage others to walk boldly in their faith.
