I have a deep passion for pursuing God and equipping disciples of Jesus. Growing up in rural Midwest Kansas, I dreamed of achieving great things. For much of my life, I chased worldly accomplishments—promotions, accolades, and recognition—believing they would satisfy my soul.

Everything changed when I began intentionally pursuing a relationship with the Holy Spirit. My hunger for the praise of others was replaced by a deep satisfaction in being a son of God. My heart, once apathetic and bound by religion, became lovesick for Christ. I experienced the fire of the Holy Spirit burning in my soul, driving me to pursue God’s presence with a fervent desire to see Heaven manifest on earth.

In this season, God challenged my understanding of His ways. I had believed that only extraordinary individuals could encounter His Spirit and have an influence on the world. But Scripture tells a different story: God consistently calls ordinary people—people like you and me—to carry the fire of the Holy Spirit, experience His presence, and partner with Him to demonstrate the power of Heaven on earth.

I realized I was not unique in my struggle to develop intimacy with God. Others wondered how to experience His presence, walk in authority, and embrace the gifts He had placed within them. That realization birthed a deep desire in my heart: to help ordinary people encounter the Holy Spirit in fresh and powerful ways. Out of that desire, Carry the Fire was born. My mission is to empower ordinary people to embrace their God-given identity and confidently walk in their God-ordained destiny.

Carrying the fire of the Holy Spirit isn’t just an event—it is a lifestyle. Christ was crucified to give this life to us. God’s beauty, power, and riches are not reserved for a select few; they are available to anyone willing to surrender to Him. The fire your soul longs for is not far away—it is passionately pursuing you, ready to ignite your life in ways you’ve only dreamed of.
