A powerful testimony from a mentor mom, thoughts on fear and anxiety, and tools to find peace
Over time (and through mentorship and letting the Word heal me), I realized I was making anxiety my go-to emotion. I was choosing anxiety first because it felt familiar. I realized there will always be external factors we can’t control that we can allow to make us anxious. And on top of that, the enemy causes a spiritual resistance against the things of God and what He wants us to do.
A God-Wink in Montana: When Mentorship Isn't Coincidental
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...
Doing It Afraid: My Unqualified Testimony
I never felt qualified to lead a Bible study. I hadn’t read the whole Bible, didn’t know theology, and could barely pray out loud without stumbling. But God didn’t wait for me to feel ready—He asked me to do it afraid.
That one small “yes” changed everything.
Years later, He called me again—out of a decade-long career and into ministry. Once more, I felt unqualified. But I’ve learned this: God’s definition of success isn’t about numbers, titles, or credentials. It’s about obedience.
When we step out in faith—even trembling—He does more through our weakness than we ever could in our strength.

Faith. Service. Country. 🇺🇸 What I learned from the American Heritage Girls
In July, I spent five days in Cincinnati for the American Heritage Girls' 30th Anniversary Celebratory Conference! WOW, what a week! If you’re not familiar with American Heritage Girls (AHG), they are a Christ-centered organization founded in 1995 by parents who desired a faith-based, scout-style program for their daughters. AHG equips...
Guiding Girls to an Eternal Perspective ♾️
Yesterday, I was speaking with a ministry partner, and she mentioned something simple yet biblically profound as I thought about the sorrow our nation has felt over the past few weeks. She said, “You know, in Jeremiah 29:11, when God speaks of giving His people hope and a future, He’s referring...
A Mentor’s Heartbreak: How to Respond When It’s Hard 💔
When a Mentee Confides Something Heavy I'll never forget the moment I handed my mom a 3-page letter. I was in my late teens, overwhelmed by anxiety, perfectionism, and a silent eating disorder I had been hiding for years. Putting words to those struggles felt terrifying—but I was desperate...
Statistics on girls' confidence that broke my heart 💔
79% of girls say they're going to "explode" because of pressure (The 2023 Girls' Index, ROX, 2023). That's right—79%—even among middle schoolers! As I reviewed the latest Girls' Index, I reflected on some of the other statistics that are driving my “why” around a ministry centered on mentorship: ...
How to Balance Love + Forgiveness with Truth + Accountability

But sometimes, you may sense God prompting you to lovingly guide her away from false teaching, misconceptions about who He is, or unwise choices. Here are some reminders and practical pointers to help you navigate the harder conversations with your mentee.
💡 The 6 heart-postures every mentor needs to remember
Do you ever wonder which way you should lean or what heart postures you should emphasize when mentoring? Maybe you’ve asked yourself questions like: Should I regularly correct, or just listen? Should I teach her about the consequences of sin, or point out what she did right? Should I explain...
