Her virtual ministry began with her blog in 2007, expanding to social media, podcasting, and other online media, becoming Sall圜 in 2015.

In 1998, she released her first book and offered her first WholeHearted Mother Conference in Fort Worth, Texas, the beginning of a long and continuing ministry-in-person as a conference speaker, and the start of a successful ministry-in-print as an author. Sally soon began a ministry of speaking and teaching in her own workshops and conferences, and for state homeschooling conventions. After graduation, they would spend three years ministering to internationals in Vienna, Austria, then return to serve together on several church staffs before starting Whole Heart Ministries in 1994.

She and Clay, then at Denver Seminary, reconnected and married a year later. She would minister to students at the University of Texas in Austin, spend three years in Communist Poland and Eastern Europe, and return to minister to single adults and executive women in Denver, CO in 1980. She was active in ministry throughout college and joined the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ upon graduation. Though raised in church, she didn’t fully receive Christ until she left home to attend Texas Tech University. Even as a child and young woman, she was a dreamer and idealist. With her stay-at-home mom, she was the spoiled little sister to two older brothers. Sally grew up in a loving Christian family in Texas and New Mexico. With such a wide range of ministries now-books, events, speaking, blog, podcast-it is simply more meaningful to gather all the she is doing under the name “Sally Clarkson Ministry.” It is the expression of all that God has done and is doing through her with Whole Heart Ministries-a multifaceted ministry of encouragement, inspiration, instruction, connection, and community. By God’s grace, she has been able to use her gifts of speaking and discipleship throughout her life to impact families, and especially women and mothers, for Christ here in the states and around the world. God has expanded Sally’s ministry reach and influence far beyond anything she could have imagined in her college dorm room on that day in 1971. It continued to grow and bear new fruit as she and Clay married, had children, and started Whole Heart Ministries. The random knock on her dorm room door and the offer of new life in Christ from a stranger planted the seed that would grow into a life of service in Christ’s name. Sally Clarkson’s heart for ministry started beating the moment she accepted Christ her freshman year of college in Texas.
