I am passionate about Empowered Living for many reasons. The founders, Craig and Mary Jutila, have modeled for me how to do ministry–both on a professional and personal level–for the past 25 years. Having walked alongside them during their many years as church and ministry leaders, I know how important it is that leaders have strong support systems and safe places to turn in times of need. The impact Craig and Mary have had on my life is immense, and I want to do what I can to help empower those in ministry as they serve to spread God’s Kingdom. I am excited about this opportunity to make Craig’s vision come to fruition so that leaders can continue to empower, guide, and inspire.
