Kelsey Hency

Bible Teacher, Editor, Writer

Hi, I’m Kelsey Hency.
I work in words—my own and others—so that deep Bible understanding becomes clear Bible teaching.

MY TEACHING

I connect each audience to God through his Word using a Bible passage, the story of the Bible, or a biblical theme.

MY EDITING

I know writing begins as a gift and develops as a craft. I work to hone writing talent into an expertise sure to captivate readers.

You’ve got something to say. I work to make sure it’s heard.

  • Kelsey is everything I look for in an editor: kind and friendly, experienced, and professional. Her enthusiasm for transformative writing is clear and her comments and recommendations have always been thoughtful and beneficial. She has truly been a yokefellow to me in writing and publishing!

    —Dr. Nijay K. Gupta, Professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary and author of over twenty books including Tell Her Story and Strange Religion.

  • Working with Kelsey was such a gift. She was incredibly kind and thoughtful, but also clear-eyed and strategic—she saw exactly where my work needed restructuring and helped shape it into something cohesive and compelling. She also has a deep understanding of the gospel, and she integrated that theological strength into her editorial guidance. I’d work with her again in a heartbeat.

    —Laura Wifler, Author and Poet of eight books including Gospel Mom, Like Me, and This Side of the Sky

  • As a Bible teacher, Kelsey emphasizes that sound doctrine matters—not merely as an academic exercise, but as a foundation for knowing and loving God rightly. She encourages others, especially women, to move beyond surface-level engagement with Scripture and to cultivate theological literacy. Kelsey equips others to know God through thoughtful engagement with Scripture—continually emphasizing that the Bible is one unified story that reveals God's character and unfolds His redemptive plan from beginning to end.List Item

  • I've loved the privilege of working with Kelsey on manuscripts and I would do so again! Her editorial experience and biblical training make her a true refiner—someone who can spot weak points in an argument and help strengthen them with clarity and theological precision. She was tough in all the right ways while remaining humble, encouraging, and never heavy-handed. Fellow writers—Kelsey will sharpen your words and make your message hit home with readers.

    —Emily Jenson, Author of eight books including He is Strong and Gospel Mom
