Hey! It’s so great to see you again, thanks so much for stopping by! 🙂
praise the Lord, I’m not squad leading alone. I have the gift and honor to do this with a team of men and women who love the Lord with everything in them. Come say hi to them with me!
meet Esther Marques!
WHAT ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT? I’m passionate about comforters (yes the one you sleep with), hibachi, my loud Brazilian family, survivors of sex trafficking and sexual abuse, and being culturally educated.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT THE WAY THE LORD CREATED YOU? I’m really thankful the Lord created me to be people oriented. I’m appreciative of the fact that I love building relationships with people 🙂
HOW DO YOU DRINK YOUR COFFEE IN THE MORNING? I don’t drink coffee. BUT I love water, juice, and tea!!
meet Meagan Thompson!
WHAT ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT? I’m passionate about people’s stories and walking alongside people as they walk out the passions the Lord has placed inside of them.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT THE WAY THE LORD CREATED YOU? I love that He gave me a tenderness and an empathy to meet people where they’re at without leaving them there. I also love that He’s given me eyes to see the least of these and those who often get unnoticed within a group.
HOW DO YOU DRINK YOUR COFFEE IN THE MORNING? I will drink it any way it is: I’ll drink it black, I’ll take it with dairy free creamer; my favorite dairy free creamer is Silk brand. Currently enjoying the creme brûlée. Thanks, lactose intolerance. I’m also a big iced coffee girl.
meet Hallie Moffitt!
WHAT ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT? I’m passionate about people knowing the Lord. In doing so, stepping into the freedom and confidence that comes through relationship with Him. I also love to make sure people feel known, loved, and seen! I’m passionate about women knowing their worth and seeing themself the way the Lord created them.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT THE WAY THE LORD CREATED YOU? The Lord has given me peace and wisdom, as well as the ability to listen and love well. I’m also very funny — God and I have that in common. I’m also really good at riding a horse.
HOW DO YOU DRINK YOUR COFFEE IN THE MORNING? Hot with vanilla creamer, in a big mug, at LEAST 12 ounces of coffee. I’ll take it black if i have to, but i’d prefer the vanilla creamer.
meet Zach Flowers!
WHAT ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT? In this season, I’d say I’m passionate about shepherding the flock and pointing them back to the Good Shepherd. I’m excited to be an example of Jesus first and foremost, and setting them up to be examples and to look to Jesus in everything they do. I’m just excited to see God work in His own way in their lives.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT THE WAY THE LORD CREATED YOU? I love how God has specifically ordained me and created me to be a certain version of Himself through me. I love that I get to walk my life out with Him and in Him. I love that I’ve chosen the straight and narrow path verses the wide and broad path.
HOW DO YOU DRINK YOUR COFFEE IN THE MORNING? I use a french press and drink it black, preferably in my mug from the brand ‘Zak’ for obvious reasons.
meet Drew Davidson!
WHAT ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT? I’m passionate about the Lord and people knowing His name, and seeing His kingdom.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT THE WAY THE LORD CREATED YOU? The levels of passion and excitement that He placed inside of me. For life in general, and for His kingdom!
HOW DO YOU DRINK YOUR COFFEE IN THE MORNING? Straight black, just like my grandpa taught me.
& yours truly!
WHAT ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT? We are called to Love. And boy oh boy, I love loving people. The heart of Jesus is so tender and strong and I’m passionate about bringing those around me to His heart in any way I can. Encountering His love is such a gift we get to delight in & share.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT THE WAY THE LORD CREATED YOU? I love the fact that He’s gifted me with the desire to be a good friend and to be someone who loves hard. (and loves hugs) I love that He’s given me a love for laughter and finding the beauty in anything and anyone around me.
HOW DO YOU DRINK YOUR COFFEE IN THE MORNING? Drew has introduced me to the beauty of an Aeropress recently, so I’ve been making a good strong cup topped off with some oat milk and vanilla. It seems I’m the pickiest one of this group, and I walk confidently in that.
