Song of Solomon 8:5 AMP “Who is this coming up from the wilderness Leaning upon her beloved?”
Me.
It’s me.
I cried the first time I realized this verse would one day describe my life—because someone, somewhere, would look at my wilderness, all the miles of it, and say, “Who is this… leaning on her Beloved?”
Why?
Because I am no longer recognizable as the person I once was.
Through every season—through trauma of many kinds, deep valleys, and battles that nearly took my life—He was there.
He never abandoned me. He never shrugged me off. He never considered me too far gone or too broken.
At my worst, His arms were open. At my most vulnerable, He covered me in ways I know in my spirit but cannot articulate. He gathered the pieces again and again—remaking me, reshaping me, restoring me.
God alone was my oasis in the wilderness, my river of delight in a dry and weary land, the One who invited me—time without number—to lean on Him.
And today I can say with unshakeable certainty:
I am His.
If you want to know who I am, those three words describe me better than anything else. They tell my whole story.
A Calling Rooted in Scripture and Shaped by His Voice
In 1998—the year I was born again—God brought me to Isaiah 35, and something inside me came alive.
“Encourage the exhausted and strengthen the feeble. Say to those with anxious heart, ‘Take courage, fear not…’” (Isaiah 35:3–4)
Decades later, this still burns in me.
My daily prayer echoes Isaiah 50:4 “Lord, give me the tongue of a disciple, so that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word. Awaken me morning by morning…”
From then until now has been a long, winding road, but He has remained faithful.
And through every season, He has repeated the same commission:
Encourage.
Equip.
Empower.
Call people into the complete freedom Christ purchased.
Teach them how to live sent.
Because “complete freedom” isn’t just my name’s meaning—it has become both prophecy and purpose.
Training, Experience & Heart
Along the way, I earned my Bachelor’s in Theology and Ministerial Studies with an emphasis on pastoral ministry and worship.
I’ve completed coaching certifications, including Identity & Destiny®, and have traveled with countless individuals—from career transitions to spiritual formation to overcoming deep emotional wounds.
I love to pour into people.
To help them look to Jesus for the wisdom and stability they seek (Isaiah 33:6).
To stir up a determined pursuit of knowing Him (Philippians 3).
To walk with them as they learn how to lean—truly lean—on His love and His understanding.
And now, I’m giving my life to creating tools, books, courses, and spaces that help people:
• know God
• walk in truth
• experience complete freedom
• and live sent—every day, everywhere, on purpose
Where This Journey Leads
As we spend time together—through courses, books, blogs, coaching, or future community events—you’ll get to know the many facets of my world:
• the meaning of my name
• my powerlifting adventures
• the ongoing story of my health journey
• and Riley, my dog, who has been part of God’s healing work in me
• the lessons, testimonies, and invitations the Holy Spirit has woven into my path
There is so much to share, and even more to walk out together.
An Invitation to Walk This Out Together
The heart of everything I create is simple:
To help you walk with God with confidence, clarity, and courage.
To help you learn His voice and follow His leading.
To help you become the person He created you to be… completely free and living sent.
Wherever you are in the journey, you are welcome here.
Let’s walk this path together.
