If I opened my heart for you to see WHO IS Gena Caruthers, you may be surprised…. I am just a woman who loves God and people, especially ladies' ministry. In my 60 years on this earth, I’ve made more embarrassing mistakes than I care to remember and certainly don’t feel like I’m anyone to be displaying a “life of perfect togetherness.” However, I am deeply grateful for the many mentors and my mother, Nelda Johnson, who instilled in me a love for God’s Word, candor, organizational skills, grace, and a little class.
These experiences have shaped me into who I am today—a woman committed to nurturing and empowering the women around me. Through every stumble and every triumph, I’ve learned that true strength lies in being real, vulnerable, and community. It’s my passion to walk alongside other women as we navigate the ups and downs of life together, offering support, understanding, and encouragement.
I hope to inspire others by sharing my story, fostering connections that celebrate honesty, growth, and faith. So, yes, I might not have it all figured out, but I’m here, ready to embrace the journey, uplift my sisters, and share in this beautiful adventure of faith and friendship.

Our Tribe
My marriage to David K. Caruthers has enriched my life more than words could ever describe. He is my true opposite (lol). I admit to being down-to-earth, while he is my deep thinking, intellectual, God-fearing and wise counsel. He has helped me raise two amazingly unique and very gifted humans (lol), Nathan Caruthers and Ashley Davis. God answered my prayers by giving each of them soulmates that fit each perfectly… PERFECTLY and they have given me the most amazing “little people” ever!!! Jack, Olivia, Joy, and Maxwell.
My life is rich with God’s blessings.
None of which I deserve.
So here I am today, just a normal woman like you trying to share my life in a way that will help you, and not expose too much of my insides. I’m real. I love. I hurt. I heal and I love Jesus with all my heart. His Word truly has been a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. My prayer and mission is to encourage, share and help you apply some principles I’ve learned on my life’s journey.

I have worked in the corporate world most of my adult life. It wasn’t always a joy, the journey of raising kids and working full time, and pastoring…. it was a difficult road. But I’ve learned not to curse the journey, it prepared me for what God had in store. It blessed me with skills that have blessed and enriched our ministry along the way.
