KNOWN CONFERENCE 2026!

Had THE best weekend with some of my favorite people and especially with my dear friend Ashley! So grateful to hear from so many women in our church, pray over others, and to be absolutely CHALLENGED by Dr. Alicia Britt Chole.

So many people worked so hard to make this weekend happen.

I don’t take for granted how loving and supporting my community is and that that has been cultivated by Lis and Jason Burns leadership. What a joy!

💜Known 2026 💚

God spoke the theme of Chosen this year. Dr. Alicia Britt Chole brought a stunning and needed word. Leaders across three locations served tirelessly. Above all, God’s presence was present.

So many people make Known possible. I am humbled and grateful for trust enough to dream this up year after year. I love this conference, these women, and the life I GET to lead!

🎄 Fair Trade Means… MORE than just a gift.

It means dignified work, fair wages, safe working conditions, and opportunities for artisans around the world to provide for their families.

This Christmas, every gift you purchase at the Take Heart Store tells a story of hope, dignity, and purpose. ❤️

And the impact doesn’t stop there! Every purchase also supports Take Heart’s mission of empowering orphans and widows in Kenya through education and entrepreneurship.

🎁 Shop local. Gift with purpose. Impact global.

Visit us in downtown Lakeland this Christmas season!

Throwback Monday! 📸🇰🇪

Taking it back to a Take Heart trip in 2014! ❤️

From the early days of building relationships and walking alongside children and families in Kenya to the work we are doing today, it’s incredible to see how God has grown the mission of Take Heart.

The faces, the memories, and the relationships remind us why we started. Over a decade later, our heart remains the same: creating opportunities, restoring hope, and transforming lives through the love of Jesus.

Here’s to all God has done and all that is still to come! ❤️

It still amazes me every week. 🤍

The room starts empty. It’s 7 AM. It’s still dark outside. And then, one by one, women start walking through the doors—choosing to get up early, show up, open God’s Word, and do life together.

More than six different churches are represented in this room, and I think that’s one of my favorite things about Sisterhood.

Because Sisterhood isn’t a denomination. It isn’t a building or a church name.

It’s women from different seasons, different backgrounds, and different churches coming together with one thing in common: Jesus.

It’s community.
It’s showing up.
It’s praying for one another.
It’s growing in God’s Word together.
It’s doing life side by side.

And after almost 25+ years of leading a small group, I still don’t take a single one for granted.

This is Sisterhood. 🤍
