What are some books that changed your life?
LoveandWar by John and Staci Eldridge
It’s Not Supposed To Be This Way by Lysa Terkeurst
If you could escape all your responsibilities, where would you go?
I would run away to Colorado and get out on the lake. Paddling my kayak has become a solo passion combining the floating, paddling and feeling the cool water and warm sun. There is something magical about the calm of the water, silence of technology and connection to nature.
What area of ministry are you most passionate about and why?
I have a passion in the area of marriage ministry, as it is one of the reasons my husband and I have made it. We have walked through quite a few storms and trials. We were given a wonderful gift of marriage coaching and a strong marriage ministry in our previous church. This leads us both to start leading and teaching to help couples build stronger marriages and restore communication between each other.
What is one quirky fact about you?
