When Julie was in high school, she came home from school to find her mother was gone. That traumatic experience changed her life, and although she didn't know it yet, Jesus was creating divine appointments in which she would begin to know Him, trust Him, and draw closer to Him.
Julie's career path helped to grow her faith. She began as an interior designer, and just as she visualized the beauty of a space's transformation, she began to see the same potential in the hearts of those around her. She worked in church ministry for several years, then in 2018, Julie moved to Arizona and became the Director of a prison ministry. Now she serves as the Director of Programming at House of Refuge Sunnyslope in Phoenix, AZ.
Listen in as we talk to Julie about leadership, what it means to lead with a trauma-informed lens, and what she envisions for House of Refuge Sunnyslope. With beautiful honesty and humility, Julie shares the wrestlings of her faith and God's revelations to her in the midst of her questions. This episode mirrors the heart of the Weave & Cleave movement and the Great Commission.
