Our Team
Lindsay Schott, co-founder
Lindsay felt called to teach the Scriptures from a young age. But for 15 years, God closed every door. During that time, Lindsay’s ideas about success and influence were tested and refined and today she is passionate about empowering women to serve faithfully right where they are. Lindsay’s strengths are powerful delivery, blending prophetic passion with humor, all while making theological depth attractive and accessible. She will help your church identify potential teachers and coach you through the development and operation of a program to equip women.
Lindsay on staff at Stonegate Church as the Women’s Ministry Teacher. She has been faithfully teaching and writing for over 5 years all while training other women to teach. She is married to Landon and they live in the DFW area with their 4 children.
Kelly Needham, co-founder
Kelly reluctantly took up public ministry in writing and teaching and learned everything the hard way – trial and error. Today, she’s embraced the opportunities God has given her and is passionate about mobilizing women in their local church, sharing everything she’s learned along the way. Kelly’s strengths are Biblical loyalty, organizing ideas and knowing she isn’t funny so she doesn’t try to be. She can help you find your unique voice while being loyal to Biblical truth. She will help your church find creative, specific solutions for equipping women and will brainstorm until there’s a path forward.
Kelly is the author of Purposefooled and Friend-ish. She has been teaching and writing publicly for over 10 years. She is married to Jimmy and they live in the DFW area with their 5 children.
Shannon Popkin, Online Class Coach
“As an author, speaker, and podcast host, it is my joy to invite women to open their Bibles with me, drink in the story, and live like it's true. Over the past few years, my opportunity to participate in Teach Equip first as a student then coach, has greatly helped me sharpen my skills and made me a more effective Bible teacher. Rather than feeling my way or relying on intuition, Teach Equip has given me the tools I need to confidently prepare messages that connect with my audiences. I'm so excited to help you explore these same principles, and cheer you on as you grow!”
Shannon is the author of Control Girl and Shaped by God’s Promises. She is a Bible teacher and host of the Live Like It’s True podcast.
Jennifer Stockett, General Manager
Jennifer enrolled in Teach Equip in 2022 a little unsure of what to expect. She hadn’t considered teaching the Bible before, but had a sense that God was preparing her for something. Little did she know, a few years later she’d be working alongside this same ministry!
Jennifer has helped bring Teach Equip to life by designing the materials and working on the website. As a graduate of the program, she brings a unique perspective to the team. Professionally, she’s worked in marketing for small businesses and organizations, but her heart is for the local church. She has served in numerous capacities in her church and desires to see women grow in their love for God and be equipped to serve where they’re planted.
She is married to Clayton and they live in the Oklahoma City area with their two daughters.
