Before I came for my DTS, I had a feeling I would be in Los Angeles for longer than just those few months. When I touched down in LA, it felt like I was always meant to be there. It felt like home. I didn’t see it at the time, but now I know I felt this way because God…
My sweetest and favorite moments of walking with Jesus have been when I have felt the most free. The freedom where I can be exactly who I am, uninhabited by what my adult life has taught me and I know my purpose is pure. God wanted to use my voice, but fear held me back My voice is a big…
Grief is hard. It is. But that doesn’t have to be the end of the story. It takes time to go through and process our sadness.

“Maybe this was a bad idea. I shouldn’t be here.” These were a few of my first thoughts as I touched down in Los Angeles to embark on a five month journey called Discipleship Training School.

2020 was a hard year. I was caught up in the fear and anxiety that the whole world was feeling. Not only that, but I was also at a crossroads in my life. I didn’t know what my next season of life would look like. I was graduating college and needed a steady job right away . . . or…
