ABOUT KARI TRENT STAGEBERG
I can’t believe I am getting the opportunity to write this!
Writing, speaking & working with StrongFamilies has literally been my dream since my Dad started the ministry in 1998, and almost 20 years later, here I am … getting to work with my Dad and help others. I really couldn’t be more thankful.
For me, getting to do this is immensely personal. Even though I grew up with a dad in ministry, I decided as a strong-willed first born to try to figure out life on my own apart from Christ, and my family.
This led me to disaster, and at 20, I found myself trapped in an abusive relationship.
5 years later, the Lord literally and physically rescued me. At that point, I surrendered my life to Christ, and He began the incredible work of healing and restoration in my life and family.
That brings us to today.
I believe that EVERYONE can experience that SAME restoration and healing – no matter what decisions you’ve made, or what life has thrown at you.
Like my Dad, I believe that begins with a personal relationship with Christ, and from there, resources like The Blessing will help you discover the INCREDIBLE person you are – and the UNIQUE purpose only you have here on earth.
I’m beyond excited to get to connect with you, and help you walk through your own personal journey.
Loving others is my heartbeat. And getting to love and do life with my incredible husband, Joey, tops it all. We live in WA with our two amazing German Shorthaired Pointer puppies, Fitz, and Phoenix.
I'VE HAD THE HONOR OF SPEAKING AT EVENTS AND PLACES LIKE:
- American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC)
- Women's Events like: MOPS, Northridge Community Church and La Casa De Cristo
- Churches and Organizations like: Cathedral of Faith, & Northshore Christian Church
- Television and Media like: Iran Alive (broadcast to over 2 million homes in Iran)
- Marriage Events like: ONE Church Marriage Getaway, & The Center for Healthy Relationships Date Night Event
- and more! Like Catalyst Training School, Legacy Grand Parenting Summit & Forest Home
FAVORITE MEMORY AS A WIFE:
Our Disneyland Adventures! And also as cliche as it sounds - our wedding day. It was SO redemptive for me, and I couldn’t believe how many things God provided that day to make it unforgettable (from a sunny day in WA, to Rudy Parris singing me down the aisle, and all of the friends and family who traveled from far and wide to be there - it was incredible and full of miracles from start to finish).
FUN FACT:
I love helping nonprofits! And even co-funded a company to help them with fundraising!
FAVORITE SPORTS TEAM:
The Arizona Cardinals! My husband and I even named our dogs Fitz (after the LEGEND himself Larry Fitzgerald), and Phoenix, because of the location.
EDUCATION:
- Masters of Business Administration (MBA) – Azusa Pacific University
- Bachelor of Science of Marketing – Azusa Pacific University

Teri Crowell
National Director of Recruitment at ISI
"Kari, I was truly inspired by your testimony. It brought me comfort and hope for myself and my family. May God continue to inspire people to reach out to God. Thank you again, many blessings."
Conference Attendee
"Kari, I just wanted to write you a little note to say thank you for coming (twice now!) and sharing your story. I have a very similar story to you, and it’s always encouraging to see someone else come out of life’s hardships and conquer life like you’re doing! Thanks for being an inspiration to our community!"
Conference Attendee
KARI & HER HUSBAND JOEY
Kari and Joey met through mutual friends. Joey had been wanting to meet Kari for a while, and Kari was oblivious that the group hang out was really a set-up. Exactly 1 year later, Joey recreated the day that he met Kari when he proposed. Now, years later, they STILL smile this much all the time.
