Then God called me as a "missionary to America" - to bring people the gospel, but also to advocate for biblical values in politics and government.
After finishing my degree in political science at Dallas Baptist University - I landed a job with Congressman Jeb Hensarling (TX-05) as his campaign manager. For over a decade, I served this great Member of Congress, and then in 2015 I started my own political consulting company. God blessed our efforts, and I soon had 32 clients and 9 associates working in our office, and we quickly became one of the leading firms in Texas.
Serving Members of Congress, State Senators, State Representatives, Judges, and even a few county officials, my heart was full that I was able to walk alongside Christian elected officials and pour into their lives each day while our team served their campaigns.
Although I spent a number of years working full-time in politics, I never laid down my passion for discipleship and ministry. As part of this, my husband and I founded and led a house church ministry (Reality Community), I wrote discipleship books (Kingdom Life Discipleship Unit 1 & 2), created a prayer and worship conference (Set A Fire DFW), and led worship and wrote songs for the Church.
