It's Kinda Terrifying Starting a Blog...

-

So here I am. The girl who doesn't like writing and is private about her life is writing a blog... 

This is me and my fiance Alex.
We're getting married in 53 days!
I'm just a little excited 😄😁

This is definitely Christ in me... So here we go!

Fearless Leadership Residency (FLR):

I am a resident in the Fearless Follower network of churches (Ridge Point, Cultivate, and 3rd Coast churches). It started late in August and has been incredible. I have learned so much, seen God move, work, change lives, and have trusted God in a whole new way.

God plopped me here. I just graduated from Calvin College with a teaching degree in math. God said, "Nope!" and pointed me to Ridge Point Community Church in Holland, Michigan.


My Journey in God's Ministry Blog:

My next post will give you more information about the residency. But for now, I just wanted to get the ball rolling to create a place for updates, what I'm learning, what I'm seeing God doing, and give more opportunities for people to join Team Hannah! Whoop! Whoop!
Alex, me, and Amber (another resident!)
(The cupcake was delicious😁)
I am so grateful to God for His faithfulness and the faithful people already on my team! They have been praying and giving financially to join in God's work in my life! Thank you thank you thank you!

Feel free to share my story and my blog! Though I am slightly terrified about sharing my actual thoughts and feelings, I am also pumped to see what God is going to do through it. You will bless me and I can bless you. Let's do this! God, use me 💗

I am starting Phase 2 of the Fearless Residency at the end of the month! (Thank you to those who have been praying alongside Alex and me in that decision!) Alex and I at Sleeping Bear Dunes this summer What will I be doing for phase 2 ?   I will be working with Cultivate Community Church in Hamilton with their middle and high school ministries! They are a church plant who meet in a high school for Sunday services. They turn 2 years old this October! Last year I was mostly shadowing pastors, while leading some projects here and there, but this year, I will have more responsibilities and ownership . Not only am I looking forward to strengthening my leadership in student ministries, but I get to explore my love for church planting ! I will get to see firsthand the unique joys and struggles of a church plant (including setting up and tearing down every single Sunday morning! I mean, wow, that's a lot of work!) Goal for this 2nd phase residency: Be equipped and ready

The Residency and Me in a Nutshell:  As promised from my first post, I will tell you about my residency at Ridge Point Church (Fearless network church), a little about myself, what God is doing, and how YOU can join Team Hannah and support me! About Me and the Residency: God is leading me in my new phase of life after graduation. I graduated from Calvin with a teaching degree in math and a minor in youth ministry. After much prayer, I followed God to Ridge Point Community Church in Holland, MI to work in their Fearless Residency Program! This residency can be for three years total, but residents commit for a year at a time. This first year is called the "Dream Year," emphasizing that God's dream is bigger than our ambition. God's dream is bigger than our ambition. God has been using Ridge Point to plant churches throughout Michigan, and even outside of the U.S. With all of these church plants, they need church leaders to serve the Christians who gather th

Hit the Ground Running

The first 2 months of my Phase 2 Residency have been a whirlwind! Since September, I hit the ground running by working with  children's ministry through  high school ministries!  Because they were still searching for someone to fill their family life pastor position, I had the opportunity to lead the  launch of the middle school youth group  and help the launches of children's and high school. I was also able to be a part of planning bigger events like mud games and a bonfire worship with other youth groups. I learned a lot about communicating with families and leaders! Leaders Praying before the Bonfire My favorite moments so far:   building relationships  &  teaching  messages   I have my own small group of 6th grade girls this year, and I have been able to visit lunches at school. It has been a blast getting to know them and diving deeper in their faith!  When it comes to teaching , It has been surprising me how much I have been loving it! I do not ne
