When and how did the Lord save you?
The Lord radically saved me from darkness when I was 19 years old. Through a series of God-ordained events, I found myself helping out in a 5 year old class on Sunday mornings at a church. The Lord used the simple yet powerful truths we were teaching the kids to save me. I had believed the lie that "I wasn't a good person, so I don't get God" -- then I found myself praying for the Lord to save these sweet kids and praying that they would truly believe that God loves them and wanted them. That immediately led to me realizing that if these truths were true for them, they had to be true for me. Once I tasted the grace of Jesus I was never the same.

When did you come to TVC and what brought you here?
March of 2023! I was serving on staff at another Acts 29 church in Fort Worth and was given the opportunity to come join the Home Groups team. The Lord made it abundantly clear that we were supposed to say yes.. so we did! Our family has been so incredibly blessed by the move and TVC is now our home and family.

Book/Movie/TV Show Recommendation and Why
For all the parents out there- Bluey. Hands down the best kids show of our time. And all the fun games they come up with have infiltrated our house and we love it.

TED Talk Subject & Why
There's a few... But I am super passionate about Christians living lives that truly celebrate and honor one another. And I could also talk all day about nutrition and good coffee.
