In mid-2018, I took a leap of faith and moved far outside my comfort zone.
Ever since, my heart has been beating with excitement and, honestly, moments of fear.
But God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if he doesn’t come through. –Francis Chan
When my husband and I joined a new church plant in 2016, I felt my life shift, my faith grow, and my heart on fire for Jesus. Simultaneously, I sensed a growing discontent in my career. I let this feeling simmer for months while praying for purpose and clarity.
God opened a door that invited me in a different (and unexpected) direction: ministry.
And after weeks of prayer, processing, wrestling, and worship — he graciously gave me the confidence to say yes.
Through May 2020, I’m serving as a resident at Christ Community Church in Omaha. This residency program includes hands-on leadership training, mentoring, and a master’s degree in ministry leadership from Crown College.
You can partner with me in two ways: prayer and giving.
- I need your prayer support! I can’t do this without God’s power, peace, and wisdom.
- I need to raise financial support to cover some of our living expenses.
