About Julia

Julia loves life! Her greatest desire is to see transformation in herself and others. Her journey has taken her on many roads. She grew up and graduated in Arkansas. From there, she moved to Springfield, MO to attend Central Bible College where she met her husband of 30 years, in Walmart, of all places!

Julia graduated college with an Associates Degree in Biblical Studies from Central Bible College.  From there, she continued her education and received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education.  She taught for 14 years and became a National Board Certified Teacher. Soon after that, God placed Julia into full time ministry as a children’s pastor, trainer, and coach.  In 2011, she became an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God. Julia is constantly seeking new ways to grow, and in the spring of 2017 she graduated with a Master’s Degree in Education Administration.
 
Julia and her husband, Gary, have three grown sons and two grandchildren. She believes being with family is the next best thing to Heaven! Watching them and their families serve God is the greatest reward, here on earth, for Gary and Julia.
 

Julia loves praising her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, more than anything else. Next, comes speaking and training. Her greatest desire is that everyone she meets will be encouraged, inspired, and hopefully smile a lot more. She truly believes everyone has a purpose in life. Nothing happens by accident. By using all of her experiences in life, she is able to show what a “life lived with purpose” looks like even through very difficult times.
