a hunger is growing within women of god.

Starving. 

That’s how I would describe a ho-hum faith that couldn’t see beyond the pages of my bible studies. Going through the motions of the religious norms and falling in line with the cultural expectations of my place in Christ and His Church left me restless and stagnant. What remained was a passive, impersonal faith that I couldn’t reconcile with a dynamic, deeply personal calling. I was starving.

Maybe, that’s you. Starving for the pursuit and fulfillment of a faith that’s been minimized and lulled into apathy. Maybe you are called to more. And yet, you feel ill-equipped and ill-prepared to even consider what that entails.

Starving.

We stand at a precipice in history when the Lord is doing something uniquely beautiful. The Spirit of God is awakening women to a vibrant, wholehearted faith. Women are waking up with fierce hunger for more of Him. He’s calling women back home to their rightful place within His Church; standing them up as Kingdom leaders to carry out their God-given dreams and assignments.  

God is raising up the Esthers.

The Jeremiahs.

The Lydias and Priscillas.

And He’s raising them up for this very moment in time.

AS THE LORD AWAKENS HUNGER, HE IS RAISING UP LEADERS TO FILL THE TABLE.

If we truly stand at this precipice in history, women woken up need filled. We need to be equipped and championed. We need Holy Spirit led prayer and whole-life discipleship. We need mentors who not only model lives actively experiencing the greater things of God; but also demonstrate how we can experience the same. That is how we feed the starving, and that is what I live for.

I’m determined to be that leader who fills the table for other women to nourished. My own hunger to experience more of God and the desperation to be deeply discipled led me to this ministry. I’m on mission to use my voice and my writing, my history and experience to call up these leaders, fill their hands with practical spiritual tools, and create space for them to encounter the Living God. Every tool, from my bible studies and speaking, the podcast or women’s ministry, is intentionally prepared to feed that spiritual hunger.

Starving? Come ready to be filled.

calling women up + into the kingdom

dry bones come alive

I minister to her; the one called to great and glorious things but doesn’t know how to press past opposition.

The one who has a dream tingling on your fingertips, but you just doesn’t know what to do next.

The woman who feels disqualified from her call but needs a woman to speak truth over her story.

The woman passionate about planning a unique woman’s event, and she needs a speaker who will minister powerfully and personally to her women.

As a body of believers, the Kingdom is on the move; growing and expanding, taking territory and equipping leaders. We stand in an Ezekiel 37 season; witnessing dry bones come to life and an army risen to become a force like the world has never seen. So let’s rise together.

encounters to redeem self-love
READ MORE

As women, we all want so badly to experience a confidence that radiates from a place of true self-love. Often, we live in the tension of knowing we can and should love ourselves, but struggle to actually live it out. The fight to love ourselves in today’s culture is real- and it’s a fight that many of us lose on a daily basis. Self-love is about reclaiming your entire story. It’s about restoring the moments when love was hijacked, security was broken, and trust was poisoned. It’s about boldly questioning the scripts you’ve been speaking, and breaking out from the performances you’ve hidden behind. This study is about facing that woman in the mirror, with Jesus by your side, and reclaiming that moment. Your journey to experience love for yourself comes in beautifully organic encounters with Jesus. Healing comes in relationship with Him- and as you allow Him to show you more of His love for you, more love for yourself will begin to unfold in the process. The ‘Hello Love’ study is a 6-session devotional study. Special guest, Kaitlin Gibson, joins me to share our real love encounters with Jesus, as well as the powerful revelations that will guide you in your own journey to loving yourself. This isn’t a step-by-step study where, ‘if you do this, then you will be healed,’ but a powerfully practical tool to guide you in encountering the love of Jesus Christ that will reveal a new level of loving yourself. Self-love is experienced when we say hello to the Author of love and initiate an intimate conversation with Him. As we walk in that honest relationship with Jesus, we will finally be empowered to say to ourselves, ‘hello, love.’

GRACE. We can all agree that we throw around this “churchy” word from time to time. And yet, when we truly think about it, we realize that we don’t really understand the fullness of that word. We aren’t aware of the bold promise that grace holds or comprehend the power of healing that lies in those five letters.We tend to limit the impact of grace in our lives because we only associate grace with what Jesus did on the cross. We understand that Jesus paid for our sins: past, present and future; but that is just the beginning of the truth about grace.Even with the awareness of Jesus’ sacrifice, do you still feel the burden of sin and brokenness within you? Do you still walk around everyday and feel the guilt, shame and condemnation of your sins weighing you down? Or do you simply wonder, “How can grace transform my life?Take 12 weeks with us to unpack the vast meaning of scars of grace and explore what that means in your life.

I’M SO PASSIONATE ABOUT RAISING UP LEADERS
I STARTED A WOMEN’S MINISTRY

To the woman lost in the ministry shadows and hidden behind protective masks, we offer a place to live again. We welcome her into a community that feels like home, where she feels embraced, loved, seen, and valued. A place where she can let down her walls and be vulnerable.  She can fully share her flaws and mistakes, her dreams and call, without fear of judgment. She joins the ranks of countless women, standing together as the strong powerhouses we are made to be.

We envision a place for her to rise. A place where she can wrestle through her weaknesses and hone-in her strengths. A safe space for her to land and a liberated place to launch. A community of passionate, high-caliber leaders ready to do the deep, meaningful healing because, ultimately, we realize our purpose is at stake.

We see dry bones coming to life within us and around us; dreams reimagined, vision reignited, self-confidence restored, and identities reclaimed. We witness the breath of God raising up His army women to stand firm in these Kingdom realities. We are the place for her to rise.
