BIO

Since 1993, Dean Sikes has spoken across the United States, at over one thousand events with audiences that exceed 1.1 million people.

At the age of twenty-one, he was on a search – a lonely and miserable search for his purpose and value. This journey led to an encounter with God - an event that so radically changed his life, it became his defining moment. In one day, through one very personal experience, God became real to Dean, and when He did, he was transported out of his misery and into His ministry.

Dean is a communicator; his words are inspired and his message is motivating. Whether ministering in churches, at chapel services in schools and prisons, or at conventions, people from multiple denominations and from all walks of life embrace his message of hope.

A published author, Dean also communicates through writing. His most recent book, A Life Worth Living … How To Discover and Fulfill God’s Call On Your Life©, is the heartbeat of his message, and serves as the follow-up material for what he communicates on stage.

Together with his wife Lori and their three children, the Sikes family make their home in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
