For sixteen years, I was on staff as a preaching pastor at a multi-campus, multi-cultural, non-denominational church in Durban, South Africa.
In 2024, my husband Tom and I responded to a call to a new season of ministry, and moved our family to Aurora, CO.
Spiritual Formation
With a heart for freedom and healing, my ability to approach tough topics with nuance and humility is a gift to those wrestling with the challenging issues of our time. I have a calming way of leading people through contemplative spiritual practices, and share tools for slowing down our bodies and souls.
Biblical Exegesis
While I can jump into any sermon series, I approach the depths of Scripture with a lens for reaching outsiders and inspiring followers of Jesus to live with greater love and service. My conviction that we can belong before believe has shaped my communication style, and I always speak with the unchurched in mind.
Empowering Women
From boardrooms to counseling rooms, I have a long track record of coming alongside women to help them find their calling, courage and community. I believe when women’s talents and abilities are truly unleashed, the world becomes a better place for all. I help women give themselves permission to show up authentically, without competing with each other, but rather cheering each other on.
