Since I was a little girl, I’ve been traveling with my parents to Kalispell, Montana—to land they’ve owned there for years. I often call it a hidden gem, because most people in the Southeast haven’t been there, and truly, it’s one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Two weeks ago, I was in Orlando for the Children’s Pastors Conference when a lovely couple, Josh and Nicole, stopped by my booth. As we talked, I learned they live in Missoula, Montana—about an hour from Kalispell. After I shared about my childhood trips, Josh asked where my parents’ land was located. I described the gas station it sits near, and to my surprise, he didn’t just recognize the area—he knew their neighbor. What?! I remember thinking, This can’t be a coincidence.
Later, Nicole joined our online community, The MentHer Collective, and shared that she had been asking God to help her lead young women to Him. After attending a Turning Point USA event in December, she’d felt called to begin mentoring. She began praying for the right connections—and believed our meeting was the beginning of her mentorship journey.
And just this week, Nicole began mentoring three young ladies through More Precious Than Pearls. On Wednesday, she walked them through the transformational process of hearing the names God calls them. One heard Nurturer. Another heard Worthy. How beautiful.
When you ask, seek, and knock, believe He will be faithful to answer.
Because He is so, so good.

"Appreciate your pastoral leaders who gave you the Word of God. Take a good look at the way they live, and let their faithfulness instruct you, as well as their truthfulness. There should be a consistency that runs through us all. For Jesus doesn’t change—yesterday, today, tomorrow, he’s always totally himself"
(Hebrews 13:7-8, MSG, emphasis added).
