Before knowing Christ, I didn’t have a personal relationship with the Lord. I believed in God and would pray, but I didn’t understand what prayer truly meant. I mostly came to Him when I wanted something or felt anxious. Starting in high school, I struggled with anxiety and a need to control my life because I didn’t trust the Lord with my future. I thought I was a good person and didn’t fully recognize my sin or my need for a Savior. During my senior year of high school, I first heard the Gospel and began attending a church near my hometown, where I started to learn more about who Jesus truly was. When I entered college at NKU, I was still new in my faith and found myself trying to live with one foot in the world and one with the Lord. God used that season of sin, weakness, and brokenness to draw me closer to Him. When I finally surrendered my life fully to Christ, I began to understand the weight of my sin but also the depth of His grace. That truth changed everything and led me to experience real freedom, peace, and purpose.

Since then, God has continued to grow me through community and discipleship through Campus Outreach at NKU. He has used this Christ-centered community to show me genuine friendships, accountability, and encouragement through faithful discipleship and friends. Through this, my relationship with the Lord has deepened, and I’ve been challenged to walk in obedience and trust Him daily. I’ve had the opportunity to attend a summer project where I saw God’s faithfulness firsthand and learned to find my identity in Christ rather than in the world. Now, I have the blessing of leading a small group of women in CO, pouring into them the same truth that transformed my life, and the Lord has placed a calling on my heart to go and lead other college students to know Christ and to make Him known on college campuses. I am so blessed to understand what a personal relationship with Jesus looks and feels like and I am so excited to see how the Lord will use me to lead others to truly experience Him.
