I'm Shaq Hardy

I teach the Bible and I'm working to help solve the orphan crisis.

Here's my story:
I grew up in foster care. At 17, everything changed when I encountered Jesus and His Word. That moment didn't just give me hope, it gave me a mission.

Today, I'm a pastor and Bible teacher who spends much of the year on the road preaching. I preach the truth of Scripture because I've seen firsthand how it transforms lives.

But my calling doesn't stop at the pulpit.

As President of Orphan No More Foundation, I get to leverage my platform to serve foster and adoptive families and remove barriers for children waiting for forever homes. The same God who rescued me from the foster care system is now using me to help others find hope and family.

What I'm about:
I believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God. I believe the local church is God's plan for reaching the world. And I believe that solving the orphan crisis isn't optional for followers of Jesus. It's central to the gospel.

I live in Tennessee with my wife Racheal and our daughter Emerson.
