About
Hi, I'm a Bible N3rd!
I can't believe how much Christ has changed my life, and yet I know I still have so much further to go. I used to say I wasn't a 'reader,' but when God broke the chains in my life, He gave me a passion for studying His Word.
Now, I'm taking that passion to the next level by working toward my degree in Biblical Studies and equipping others through live and online classes. That is the heart behind everything I do here, and I'm so excited for you to join me on this journey.
May you find inspiration and insight in your own walk through Scripture. May God's peace fill your day! In Jesus' Name
