“Truth is our heritage and responsibility. Pass it on!”

Jeanne Gowen Dennis is an award-winning author, illustrator, and singer/songwriter, a Colson Center Fellow and Centurion, and an online TV host. She is passionate about helping others grow in intimacy with our Creator while equipping them to pass on biblical truth to others. She is a member of the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association (AWSA) and the Christian Authors Network (CAN).

A mother, grandmother, and widow after forty-five years of marriage, Jeanne has taught and worked with children and adults of all ages for over 20 years. She is presently working on a Master of Theological Studies degree.

Jeanne produces Heritage of Truth TV online. The wife of a deceased deacon, Jeanne continues as an active member of her church, teaching Sunday school, participating in music, children’s,  and women’s ministry, and serving on the missions team.

Jeanne’s favorite activities include painting, singing, playing piano, learning foreign languages, swimming, watching old movies, and spending time with her family and church family.

Why the Passion for Truth?

In college, Jeanne was a faith casualty, like reportedly up to 70 to 75% of today’s college students. That’s why she is passionate about passing on biblical truth to upcoming generations. Besides her many years of personal study in Scripture and sitting under solid Bible teachers, she also received intensive training in the biblical worldview under Chuck Colson and his team at BreakPoint. She was commissioned as a BreakPoint Centurion in 2006 and a Colson Fellow in 2015. She hope to complete her Master of Theological Studies degree in the not too distant future.

As host of Heritage of Truth TV, an online show, Jeanne has had the opportunity to interview hundreds of authors, pastors, recording artists, and other interesting people.

Heritage of Truth guests have included: Max Lucado, Kay Arthur, Thelma Wells, Gloria Gaither, Lysa TerKeurst, Alex and Stephen Kendrick, Babbie Mason, Os Guinness, Todd Starnes, Jonathan Cahn, Michael Card, Erwin Lutzer, J. Warner Wallace, Steve Arterburn, and many others.
