Living surrendered

My heart for ministry begins with Jesus. What moves me most about Him is how intentional He was with every person He encountered, how He paused, listened, and truly connected. I’ve experienced that same faithfulness in my own life. God has provided for me every step of the way, and His presence has been the steady guide behind my calling.

For me, worship is full surrender. It’s opening my life completely to Jesus and allowing His leading to shape my response, my choices, and the posture of my heart. Worship is where I feel closest to God, and it’s also where I feel the clearest affirmation of the calling He placed on me from the beginning.

My passion for people flows directly from that place of surrender. What breaks my heart is seeing people weighed down by hopelessness or feeling unable to trust Jesus with their situation. One of the greatest joys of my ministry is getting to encourage people in those moments—to lift others up when they’re hurting, remind them that God is near, and speak life into places where hope feels lost. I’ve always been an encourager at heart, and I count it a privilege to walk with people as God strengthens and restores them.

Nothing brings me more joy than watching walls fall in God’s presence, seeing people healed, set free, filled with faith, and transformed by His love. Those moments continually remind me why I do what I do.

As a pastor, I see my role as more than leading songs on a platform. I’m committed to shepherding my team, doing life with them, and encouraging them as they grow in their giftings and callings. Equipping others, raising up leaders who carry the presence of God with confidence and humility, is one of the greatest passions of my ministry.

I believe I’ve been marked for worship ministry since birth. It’s where my musical gifts, my heart for Jesus, and my desire to serve others come together. And in this season, God is teaching me that worship is not my identity, it’s a calling He’s entrusted to me. Wherever He leads next, I want to follow with open hands, allowing Him to guide, shape, and refine me every step of the way.
