Dear Friends,
Welcome to Igniting Hope Ministries! I am passionate about Christians learning to live from their supernatural identities, as new creations and spiritual beings (2 Corinthians 5:17). I believe God is eager to encounter His children Spirit-to-spirit, and for us to rise up in the authority we carry in the spirit realm as His anointed sons and daughters.
I love to lead Christians on face-to-face encounters with our Heavenly Father, as well as teach others about how to lead encounters with God. In that beautiful place of communion, we are always changed by His immeasurable love for us.
My husband and I also love to travel the world teaching on the power of renewing the mind to transform lives into greater levels of freedom, hope, joy, and breakthrough. Personally though, I’ve been transformed most by this renewing the mind journey in my spirit awareness and connection to the Lord, and also in my emotions.
Years ago, I was a discouraged pastor’s wife with little self-confidence and a fear of speaking in front of people. The Lord has led me on a life-changing journey of renewing my mind to know and believe His deep love for me, to believe and love who He says I am, and to embrace the victory Jesus has won for us. I’ve been greatly set free from the lies about my life that were hindering me, and have now learned how to renew my mind to live from a default of joy. I share this journey and practical steps to renewing your mind to impact your emotions in my book, Victorious Emotions.
Thank you again for exploring our ministry. I pray you would find resources, revelations, and opportunities here that would lead you into your greatest breakthroughs yet (scroll below for resources from me and information about inviting me to speak).
May you be strengthened by God to experience the fullness of joy and peace which is our rightful inheritance in Christ.
Blessings on your journey,
