Born in Kerrville, Konni was raised in the small south Texas town of Banquete, which consisted of little more than a school and a post office. Both her parents worked at the school: her father as the high school principal and her mother as the school secretary. Konni attended the University of North Texas, earning a BBA in Marketing. There she met her husband, Phillip, of thirty years.
A strong pro-life advocate, Konni and Phil have worked closely with The Gladney Center for Adoption in Fort Worth. The Burtons are proud parents of two “Gladney Babies,” Tori and Faith.
In 2014, Senator Burton won her first bid for elected office by capturing Senate District 10. Burton champions individual liberty, personal responsibility, and free market economics. She fights to prioritize tax dollars to core functions of state government, such as public education, transportation, water infrastructure, and public safety.
Konni and her family live in Colleyville.
A longtime Christian, Dr. Bryce has been a Sunday school teacher, church elder, and church musician, and during medical school played piano for a Southern gospel group. He has been a board member for GeoBound Missions as well as Abundant Life Missions, an organization started by his parents which focuses its efforts in Haiti. His community involvement has included serving as mayor of Red Oak, Texas. He was appointed by Governor Rick Perry to the Texas Medical Board and served from 2006 to 2012.
Bryce is married to Lydia Bryce, and they have four children: Daniel, Blair, Joseph, and Brooke.
As an ordained pastor of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), John has served congregations in the United States and Europe. He is the advisor and lead author for theology and culture blog Theology Mix. Dr. Snyder has spoken at many conferences, churches, and retreats in the United States as well as Europe, and he has been involved in missions in Far East. Currently, John serves as a pastor, church planter, and speaker in Germany, Switzerland, and other countries in continental Europe. He and his family (wife Shirin and daughters Sarah and Stephanie) share their time between California and Europe.
Snyder discusses the causes and consequences of resentment, and the cures for resentment against God. Ultimately, the way out comes in knowing who God is and realizing that far from abandoning us in our hard times, he is the one who rescues us.
