As an author, speaker and women’s director, Julie has long been involved in ministry. This does not mean that she’s had her act together and been the perfect role model for other people. In fact, she has waded through more trials, sticky sin and struggles than anyone else she’s known.
But, of course, as a living testament to “God makes beauty from ashes”, this also gives her a lot of material to work with in her speaking, teaching and everyday ministry work.
What is Julie so busy doing?
1. Her day job is as a Women’s Ministry and Educational Director with ARMS/Abuse Recovery Ministry Services lights Julie up with passion and purpose. This is the ministry with the program that saved her life 12 years ago.
2. Julie is also the current President of Cascade Christian Writers, previously Oregon Christian Writers. She leads a Board of Directors and almost 400 members to help them write well, publish and follow the specific mission God has for each of them.
3. Last but certainly not least, Julie writes and speaks. She is the author of a book of true angel stories (out of print), a fiction series with a focus on human trafficking and…more projects coming! She is a frequent guest on varied podcasts and also makes other appearances.
As you can imagine, a trip to Heaven necessitated a deep dive into priorities – and this is still happening. Your prayers are appreciated as she discerns and wades through the recovery process of coming back to earth.
