About Us

After meeting online and working together as editors for Take Root and Write (TRW), Shona Neff and Shonda Savage Whitworth (aka Sho and Sho) discovered a mutual affinity for helping writers and speakers. Through their own journeys as Christian writers and speakers, they identify with the difficult phase between the time God puts the call on a willing heart and the ability to carry out that call.

Just like most newcomers to the world of writing and speaking, Sho  and Sho trudged through the awkward years by seeking various types of training, attending writer's conferences, and finding opportunities to write and speak along the way. Even though the early years of this journey can be lonely, frustrating, and discouraging, God is quietly grooming spokespeople even when it seems nothing is happening. It's all part of the process that eventually reveals the heart of a faithful servant.

Sho and Sho remember traveling that uncertain road. They feel called to share their experiences to equip and encourage others answering their own call. Both Sho and Sho are CLASSeminar graduates and Certified Personality Trainers. Shonda is the editorial assistant for the CLASS Communique, a bi-monthly newsletter. They both edit for Take Root and Write, a Christian women's website, and Rooted Living, TRW's digital magazine. Together they host a monthly webinar, The Personalities with Sho and Sho, through Christian Women Affiliate. As part of StepUP Services seminars, Shona and Shonda are the main presenters. And lastly, they love to teach and work on book projects they hope to have published.

Individually, Shona has a weekly recorded radio show, Practical Christianity, and guest hosts for the live radio show, Something About Women, on KKIM Chrisitan Talk Radio. She teaches at the University of New Mexico-Los Alamos campus, and does freelance writing for newspapers and newsletters. Her most popular presentations focus on The Personalities and she has spoken to moms, Christian womens groups, and financial institutions. She has her own blog at ShonaNeff.com.

Shonda is published in the compilation book, Moments of Grace, and her freelance work has also appeared in newspapers, regional monthly magazines, Sunday school curriculum, and online devotional sites. Her interactive online ministry, Engrafted by Grace, ministers to people around the world and she enjoys writing and teaching Bible studies. She teaches The Personalities to women, home/cell groups, and mom's clubs.
