Following Jesus in Nursing

I serve as the Director of NCF Professional Ministries. I am married and live in northeastern Wisconsin. We have two sons, a daughter-in-law, five grandchildren, two cats, and an adorable Morkie who keeps us all in line. It brings me joy to experience the beauty of nature through the songs of birds, a fallen pinecone, or a shiny rock. My windowsills are filled with these treasures! Through my ministry with the Daring Way™, I speak and encourage people in small groups and communities to live from a place of courage and authenticity. 2020 has been a year for me to practice both these values. I had the privilege of caring for my Daddy for seven weeks while he was on hospice until his death in August. The grief has left me raw and exposed. But God has shown great mercy and comfort during the months since my Daddy's death through the prayers and encouragement of others. It's been a beautiful example of the body of Christ responding to provide presence and support.
