La-Tan Roland Murphy is a popular Christian speaker, singer, and writer that is actively promoting God's word across the country. With a Bachelor Dregree in Professional Education she boldly teaches His word with joy and hope straight from her heart. La-Tan challenges her audiences to experience God's refining power, which transforms the interior of lives into His elegant image. With an established platform, she uses God's inspiration and her unique syle of humor to bring intimacy to any venue; from churches, retreats to much larger venues, such as the Hylton Chapel in Washington D.C. (3500 seats).

La-Tan has been blessed with husband Joe Murphy; her greatest spritual sponsor for over 20 years. The two have served along side each other in ministry. Their children Kyle, Da-Nae, and Bryce provide her with plenty of motivation, as well as some very rich material for her presentations, not to mention her own "Lucille Ball" like moments.

She is a freelance artist and runs her own business, Interior Elegance by La-Tan, as an interior design consultant. Through her experience as a decorator, La-Tan understands the intimidation women feel about allowing others into their closets and most intimate places. She is passionate to share how all of God's people shall use His gifts, whether they live in mansions or in tents.

From La-Tan's richly emotional sessions, listeners are infected with a new awareness of how God can use ordinary people, on an ordinary day, to bring about His extraordinary miracles. Her prayer is that each person her ministry touches receives a new and powerful faith in their God given gifts to bring others into the ministry to make a powerful difference in the world of Christ.

I love ...
  the smell of coffee brewing in the morning.
  the sound of rain falling on a tin roof.
  the smell of air just after a terrible thunderstorm.
  music! I like to hear it, sing it, and sometimes close my eyes and just feel it.
  laughter! I love to hear it often and try to practice it.
  to look at life through rose colored glasses. Well, actually pink since that is my favorite color.
