I grew up in the beautiful city of Boise, Idaho with five siblings and an incredible set of parents. I was raised in the church, but entering college I really did not have a deep understanding of the gospel and what it meant for my life. I began my college career by rushing a fraternity and began to consume everything that lifestyle had to offer. My life began to look more and more like the world as I pursued things that I thought would bring joy and fulfillment; I could not have been more wrong.During Christmas break of my junior year, God grabbed my attention and my life was forever changed. I realized my deep need for a Savior and that I could never be complete on my own; God revealed to me my brokenness. That semester I had met this guy named Sam and he became one of my closest friends because he loved me where I was at. He shared with me what Jesus has done for me and that even though I do not deserve it, Jesus wants a relationship with me. Right after that semester, Jesus became not just the God that saved me from my sin, but the lord of my life. Since then I have been able to see God do amazing things in my life and have been a part of mission trips, baptisms, and seeing people decide to make the same decision I did and follow Jesus. Because of how Jesus has changed my life while I was in college, I want to give my life to making Jesus’ name known on college campuses. Resonate provided an avenue for me to do that. My hope in working for Resonate is that I may have the opportunity to be used by God to change the trajectory of many students’ eternity because of Jesus.

My job looks like a party on the outside because I get to do what college students do: have fun, adventure, and play sports. Granted, all of that is so much fun, but where I truly receive joy is on my couch or in a dorm late into the night talking with students as they begin to discover who Jesus is and who God has made them to be. My days look like coaching student leaders and training them in how to be effective ministers to their campus. I get to create spaces for students to see what Christian community looks like and what God designed the church to be. By God’s grace I get to teach, disciple, and do life with students who are in the most pivotal and transformative season of their lives.

When I think about ministry partnership I think about Philippians 4 when Paul is inviting the church to give to him so that he could continue on his missionary journey. He tells them, “Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit.” It is a joy to invite people into investing into my ministry because I get to share in this fruit with them. God is moving through our church and I want every person to have an opportunity to be a part of it!
