SPEAKER AND GUEST BIOS
Sean and Jenn have been married for over 25 years… proof that love, laughter, and a good sense of humor go a long way. (Jenn insists it feels longer, but Sean prefers not to comment.)
​
With Sean’s radio and comedic background and Jenn’s 15+ years as a parent coach, speaker, and radio host, they create an engaging, honest, and highly relatable experience. Their conversations are real, interactive, and full of both laughter and truth. You can hear them every weekday on the ride home as hosts of their daily radio show on Jack 94.5, where real life and laughter collide. Jenn is also the founder of Families Matter Most, helping parents reach their children’s hearts while applying Kingdom principles at home. Together, Sean and Jenn are passionate about strengthening families, and marriages, one “get-together” at a time.
SEAN AND JENN DEAN
CANADA'S DOUBLE PORTION
Canada’s Double Portion from North Battleford, Saskatchewan is a unique group in many ways. This 5 piece Gospel band is made up of parents Duncan & Debbie Hemmerling and 6 of their 10 children. They love to share songs they’ve written and songs they wish they wrote while featuring many stringed instruments with soaring family harmony. 2026 marks the 44th year of ministry for this veteran group and they are still excited to visit incredible places and meet so many wonderful people.
Originating with Duncan and his three sisters, Canada’s Double Portion has crisscrossed the continent from Newfoundland to British Columbia, Georgia to Alaska. Four decades of travel have provided unique experiences like singing on the Grand Ole’ Opry stage, backing up Johnny & June Cash at a Cash/Rivers family reunion and performing with many of Gospel music’s premier groups at North America’s largest events. However, experience has taught this family that the smaller things in life are often the most rewarding!
Canada's Double Portion have been nominated for Group of the Year numerous times and have received multiple awards for Album, Song of the Year and Live Band of the Year in the Gospel Music Association Canada.
They are thankful for every opportunity they have to share the Gospel!
GRAEME JONES
Graeme Jones is the Pastor of Youth Ministry at Tenth Church in Vancouver, BC, where he helps create spaces for students to encounter Christ in identity, belonging, and purpose. He has served in youth ministry across rural, suburban, and urban contexts and is passionate about helping students discover that life with Jesus is deeper, fuller, and better than anything we could build on our own. Graeme lives in Vancouver with his wife, Sasha, and their dog, Daisie.
JORDAN & CHANTAL GADSBY
Jordan and Chantal Gadsby have served as Lead Pastors of Nipawin Apostolic Church since August 2013. Jordan also serves as Regional Director for the Prairie Region with ACOP, and Chantal brings a strong pastoral and counseling foundation through her BSc in Psychology and MA in Counseling Psychology.
​
Their ministry is shaped by a conviction that long‑term faithfulness—in leadership, family, and church life—flows from a committed life rooted in Christ. Jordan and Chantal believe that abiding in Christ is not an abstract idea, but a daily, formative practice that sustains healthy leadership and shapes resilient families. They are passionate about ministry that is life‑giving and sustainable, and about seeing leaders and churches strengthened for the long haul.
​
They are parents of four teenagers, who have taught them a lot about the realities of raising a family while serving the local church. As a family they continue to participate in church and ministry and they enjoy traveling, playing games, and spending time together.
ROB CHARTRAND
Rob is the Assistant Professor of Christian Ministry and Program Coordinator at Briercrest College. For thirty years, he pastored across Canada in youth, young adult, worship, and executive leadership roles. He is passionate about equipping and empowering emerging leaders, the focus of his doctoral dissertation work. He holds a DMin in Preaching and Leadership, as well as an MA in Leadership and Management and an MA in Religion. As a consultant (robchartrand.com), Rob has helped churches, non-profits, businesses, and denominations position themselves for continued strategic success. He is also the host and producer of the Church in the North podcast (churchinthenorth.ca).
JAELYN RIDDELL
My name is Jaelyn Riddell, and I serve as the Children’s Pastor at Rock of the Valley Church in Lumsden, Saskatchewan—a role I have truly loved for the past six years. I’m married to my amazing husband, James, and together we are raising our three beautiful daughters: Ava, Sienna, and Thea.
Kedleston Camp has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up at camp as the head cook’s kid, running around and loving every moment. I attended every year I could as a camper, and my connection to this place goes back even further—both of my parents attended Kedleston when it first began as children and passed that legacy on to our family. To say this place runs deep in my veins is truly an understatement.
Kedleston holds a very special place in my heart. It’s where I accepted Christ as my Savior, and it’s where my husband, our children, and I were all baptized together. This camp has played a significant role in shaping my faith and helping prepare me for the calling God placed on my life.
I believe that learning about Jesus should never be boring. Teaching kids about Him and exploring God’s Word is an incredible adventure—one that has the power to transform hearts, souls, and lives. In recent summers, I’ve had the joy of serving with the kids during family camps. If you’ve been there, you may not have recognized me—I’m often in character! I am beyond excited to be part of Kedleston again this year and to see God move in the lives of children in powerful and lasting ways.
NIKOLAS AMODEO
Nik is a husband, dad and pastor originally from the town of Dryden in Northwestern Ontario.
Nik has spent most of his adult life in pastoral church leadership, studying and teaching the Bible, and loves to see people be rooted and renewed in the life and love of Jesus. He holds an MA from Regent College in spiritual theology, and a Doctor of Ministry from Carey Theological College researching the Lord's Table in Christian worship.
Along with pastoring, Nik teaches biblical studies and theology as adjunct faculty at Eston College in Regina.
Nik enjoys drumming, painting, and exploring the literature of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.
He and his wife, Sarah, have four amazing boys who keep them on their toes.
DANIEL COLE
I first attended KGC when I was around 12. That summer, encouraged by the speaker to spend time listening for the voice of God, I sat in the trees by the side of the lake with my Bible and heard him speak to me. That moment, along with many others at Kedleston were instrumental in forming me into the person I am today. I love the ministry of camp. The chance to get away, spend time with the community of God, have fun, and draw close to Jesus. I currently work at Eston College, having previously been involved in church planting and pastoral ministry. My wife Anna and I have three girls, and we are excited to spend the week with you at Kedleston this summer!
SHENAY WEYERS
Shenay is originally from Queensland, Australia. In 2016 she took a step of faith and travelled to Canada to serve at Halkirk Circle Square Ranch for a summer, never expecting it would become a permanent move. After a few years, she joined the team at Eston College, where she has spent the past eight years helping young adults know the Scriptures, encounter the power of God, and live out the Great Commission.
Shenay is passionate about seeing young adults discover who they are in Christ and what it looks like to follow Him wholeheartedly. She loves creating spaces where people can ask honest questions, build authentic community, and experience God in ways that transform everyday life. Her heart is to see this generation move beyond simply knowing about Jesus to truly knowing Him, living with purpose, and confidently stepping into the calling He has placed on their lives.
