Over the past 40 years I have experienced greater freedom in these areas as I’ve opened myself to others and to God’s healing power, and I have seen the beautiful fruit from living in obedience to God and His plan.

I eventually discovered two truths after that life-changing day. The first was that Jesus was God, and the second was that my life was not about me. Thank God.

I completely changed the direction of my life and spent the next 9 years in University (Master’s degree in Psychology) with ONE MISSION – to help other Men break free.

I need you to be a Father for them. To love them. To care for them. To lay down your life for them. These are your people now.” I said “God, I’m just 25.” And I felt Him say “I know… I know who I chose.”

One day I cried out to God and begged Him to save me. I didn’t know what from, I just knew that I needed Him to act…and fast! Just three months later I was a new man and followed my call to the Church without a second thought.

They both love the Catholic faith, and after a year of marriage they created their online ministry, Finding Philothea. With Saint Francis de Sales as their patron, Finding Philothea (the one who loves God) is about finding the one who loves God in ourselves, our true self, one another, and each other.

Through this art, I’ve been able to connect to the Body of Christ like no other. Because of my gratitude for the exorbitant love of God that He has showered upon me, I hope to pass along some portion of it to others.

Although the miracles of seeing signs were incredible graces, I knew I was truly called when God gave me the grace to have His Sacred Heart after I prayed for it specifically in adoration.

I decided that Sunday after leaving the retreat that people had to know. I had to do whatever I could do to introduce JESUS to others. So it was then that I said “yes” and got to work.

I've co-written two books with my husband and I am a regular contributor on the Ascension Presents YouTube channel. I am also one of the presenters on Ascension Press' Chosen: Your Journey Toward Confirmation.

He continues to heal me and to pour His mercy into my heart, revealing parts of me that are further in need of His touch and His compassion. I belong to the One who loves me more than anyone else ever could, or will.

A Cradle-Catholic who awoke to the beauty of Christ and the Church late in high school, my life’s been marked with that Augustinian “restless” longing for as long as I can remember.

No matter how my story continues or where my ministry takes me, I know one thing for certain…God’s plan is my only plan, I have no plan B!

It was in this brokenness that He rebuilt my sense of identity as His beloved daughter. There was a profound realization that my value came from being a child of God.

In an adoration Chapel one day in 1998, as she searched for God during a devastating family crisis, she clearly heard the Lord Jesus call her to become a “music missionary.”

It’s been a wild ride but I suspect it’ll only get wilder. My personal journey with God started in 7th grade and it’s hard to believe how faithful He’s been to me for 15 years. Jesus Christ is Lord.

I thank the Lord that my delayed obedience was not put to waste. He made something very good and waited patiently for me to respond to His call.

I signed with the Atlanta Braves in the Summer of 2021 to continue my dream of being a Major League Baseball player. Obviously sports and faith have a ton of parallels, but my favorite is a saying that one of my coaches in college told me.
