I Wasn't Raised in Faith
I didn’t grow up in a Christian home. My parents didn’t attend church, and neither encouraged faith of any kind. In fact, my mother leaned heavily toward the supernatural and often spoke negatively of Christianity. My father, who had grown up Catholic, also carried resentment toward the church. What I knew of faith came not from family—but from the people around me.s a child, I was curious. I went to church as a guest with friends and neighbors, wanting to understand something I instinctively felt drawn to. But without guidance or clarity, it all felt confusing and distant. Still, something in me kept searching.
A Seeker's Path
Throughout my teens and early adulthood, I explored many belief systems. While living in Turkey, I experienced Islamic culture firsthand and read parts of the Quran. I was fascinated by how people around the world connected to the divine.
I also began exploring paganism, Hinduism, and Celtic and Norse spiritual traditions. Eventually, I identified as a witch and practiced Wicca—a path I followed through most of my twenties. I found comfort in ritual and symbolism, even though my soul remained restless.
When I married my husband in my early thirties, I slowly stepped away from witchcraft—not because of a change in belief, but out of respect for his discomfort with it. He was agnostic, and we both entered our marriage without Christian faith. But God had other plans.
Salvation and Surrender
On January 20, 2013, everything changed. That day, I gave my life to Jesus Christ.
It wasn’t a dramatic conversion or a thunderclap moment—it was a quiet, internal shift. A surrender. A recognition that the path I had walked was never meant to satisfy my soul. God had been patiently pursuing me for years, and I finally said yes.
Three years later, on January 20, 2016, my husband was saved too. We had started our marriage outside of faith, but God met us both in His timing and began transforming not only our individual lives, but our marriage and our family.
After salvation, I dove into the Word and began building a relationship with God that felt new, real, and personal. I eventually earned a discipleship certification through Inste Bible College, which helped me not only understand the Bible more deeply but also uncover my spiritual gifts:
Leadership – Guiding with structure and vision
Mercy – Connecting through empathy and care
Administration – Organizing with clarity and purpose
As I grew in faith, I also grew in confidence that I was called to ministry. I began leading women’s Bible studies and helping others walk through their own questions, identity shifts, and breakthroughs.
Discipleship, Growth & Ministry
Ministry Today
Today, my ministry is grounded in helping others know they are loved, seen, and created with purpose—especially women navigating identity, healing, and spiritual growth.
I lead Bible studies that go beyond information—they’re rooted in transformation, drawing from Scripture, life experience, and the Spirit’s leading. Whether in a living room or online, these gatherings are sacred spaces for honesty, discovery, and hope.
Our whole family now walks in faith. My children have recently made their own decisions to follow Jesus, and we continue to grow together as a household centered in Christ.
What's Ahead
I continue to teach, write, and create spaces for discipleship and restoration. My ministry is not about spotlight -it's about presence. Whether in a living room or a circle of teens, I meet people where they are and walk with them toward freedom.
