The Equipped Ministries Story

Our Story.......

The story of Equipped Ministries began with a passion for an audience and developed with a passion for Jesus Christ.  Several years ago, upon hearing a conversation my mother was having about my desire to be in front of an audience, I remember hearing, "Well she didn't get it from us!"  It was then that it became clear to me that God had bestowed a passion and gift I MUST begin to use to glorify and serve Him.  Having recently lost over 50lbs., it had become obvious that my weight had been an incredible barrier for me and the freedom I was experiencing through weight loss and Christ was a story I wanted desperately to share......
With that, and a little "Holy Spirit intervention" via a Beth Moore simulcast at Hickory Grove Baptist in Independence, KY in the Fall of 2008, Equipped Ministries was born!
A Health and Wellness program, with a focus on weight loss through Christ, Equipped Ministries works on site with men and women of all ages to lose weight, feel great and move to serve God!
All based on the scripture, "You are thoroughly equipped for every good work....."2 Timothy 3:17......And that includes losing weight, living healthy and serving Christ!


With another burgeoning passion to share my testimony about experiencing miracles and blessings through tragedy, Equipped Ministries also facilitates workshops on Love, Life and God's Great Blessings in the worst of times....Having lost my dear, sweet, funny, kind and incredibly loving brother tragically on January 26th, 2009 I have vowed to share his story to honor, memorialize and through God's great mercy possible save others from the same tragedy!

Day Eight- Proverbs 3:6

"Seek His will in all you do, and He will keep your paths straight." Proverbs 3:6 Have you had an encounter with a pothole lately. Thankfully, I have not. But my husband drives a thirty-five minute stretch of interstate 75 everyday, and he says it's full of them. "And they get worse everyday." Hmm, sounds a little like my battles in weight loss and life sometimes?! Although my husband, is a very careful and focused driver, these skills are not even enough to avoid the potential of falling prey to another pothole. How does he do it? "By keeping my eyes on the driver I am following." "If he hits one, I can swerve and miss it, if he doesn't, I just follow right along." A two-fold message for me: First, follow the ones who have been there, they can help you avoid the pitfalls and potholes. Learn from their mistakes. Seek their counsel, friendship and accountability. Got a friend who has maneuvered a "pothole" successfully? And now y

Right Behind God

In working with hundreds of men and women over the past eight years who have a goal of losing weight and living healthy, the biggest challenge for most to overcome has little to do with knowing what to eat and when to exercise.   Interestingly, the biggest challenge for most is realizing that God wants to be involved in their health and wellness journey and He is capable of having a major impact if He is allowed access. The story about Jonathan and his armor bearer paint a wonderful analogy of what it looks like to realize that God wants what’s best for us and is capable of seeing it through.   1 Samuel 14:6 states, “Perhaps the Lord will work for us.   For nothing restrains the Lord from saving by many or by few.”   In other words, it doesn't matter who is coming against you or tempting you; with God on your side nothing is impossible.   However, there is a catch.   “Of course there is,” you say, but hear me out.   In order for God to be fighting for you, it is imperative that
