Hello! I'm excited that you're reading this blog and are interested in being a part of what God is doing both in and through me!

If you don't know me, my name's Joel. I grew up in Castle Rock, CO, and am 19 years old. I love reading, writing, or anything else involving words, spending time adventuring in the mountains with friends, and connecting with others on a deep level. I love connecting with God through creating and receiving all forms of art - photography, music, writing, poetry - you name it!

I'm passionate about discipleship and helping others to embrace the fulness of the Gospel through vulnerability, inner healing, and forming an understanding of their story through the Lord's eyes. I have a love for being with others in their pain, seeking to listen to them and direct them back to the love of God as he extends it to us in Jesus.

Thank you so much for coming along on this journey with me - I cannot do this alone, and value your support more than I could ever say!

~Joel

“The singular quality of a full heart is the capacity to take in both grief and joy and to offer to others tears and laughter. To laugh with those who know joy and to weep with those who suffer sorrow is the height of what it means to be human.” ~Dr. Dan Allender.
