My relationship with God has always been present from a young age. I remember serving in my grandfather’s church, rather it was praise dance, singing or public speaking. I had a passion for the Lord. My favorite part of being a believer was the community it brought me. It brings joy to my heart that God is now bringing that passion back to me full circle.

I am 25 years old and I’ve found purpose through seeking the Lord. After graduating the University of Kansas with a Journalism degree and a minor in Theatre, I had no clue what to do next. I went into recruiting and I felt no passion for my career. So I went on a 30 day fast and asked the Lord to reveal my purpose in the form of a career.

My father brought me teaching and the rest was history.

I don’t minister to children or anyone because it’s cool. I don’t do it for the recognition. I don’t do it because it’s easy, it’s actually very hard. I do it because the LORD tells me to and it’s the only thing that brings me true joy.
