I am a boy mom to three boys under 8yrs old. I serve on the prayer team at Florence. I work full time. I would love to mentor another women in various areas including parenting, walking with God journey, and more.

I'm Alison and I'm passionate about a lot of things. First off, Jesus, and how he wants body/mind/soul wholeness in Him. I'm a mom to a 14 year old boy and stepmom to grown adults now and also a grandma to a few littles. I've been married 23 years to Keith. I'm a working mom as well in the Digital Products (IT) area and teach workout/fitness classes at a local gym. I love fitness, nutrition, time at the beach or pool, and prayer! I love to pray and have lots of reps in hearing and talking to our Father. I don't have tons of free time but am willing to have someone come alongside and learn more about identity in Christ as a daughter of the King, how to be an exceptional wife, mom or stepmom along with being able to live a life full of gratitude. I will share struggles, victories and wisdom that I've learned on the journey. I'm not without imperfections and God has been healing me layer by layer. I battled with an eating disorder for many years, still in battle daily with the thorn in my flesh and have family far away so isolation has also been a struggle. I love learning and growing and believe that God redeems everything and He has in mine and can in your life too. I also don't like small talk and love being transparent and vulnerable in all relationships.

Hi, I’m Amanda Scheller! I’ve been attending Crossroads for 20 years and love being part of this community. I’m a wife of 19 years and a mom to two amazing kids, ages 12 and 14. Over the years, Crossroads has been an important part of my faith journey—whether through Couples Camp, Mother + Daughter Camp, Women’s Camp, or the incredible new Crossroads Women and Ignite Conference. I also help with FreedUp, where I love sharing my experience and guiding others toward financial freedom. Studying scripture is a big part of my life and I’m passionate about making God’s Word more approachable for others. As a mentor, I hope to walk alongside women, offering encouragement and sharing what I’ve learned about faith, marriage, and motherhood. Life is better when we do it together!

I am a growing Christian seeking to learn more about God & the Bible. I don’t have all the answers, but I try to be a good friend and a great listener. I am still a work in progress, but I would love to share any wisdom I have learned along the way with others. I currently have a corporate job, but have been a stay-at-home mom, part time worker, remote worker, and laid off. I have children in college and high school. I have been divorced, single, dating, and remarried. I have been a foster-to-adopt parent with one of my children being adopted. I am a small group leader and an advocate for sobriety, being several years sober myself. Oh yeah, I’m a military mom!

I love family, adventure, motorcycles, music and seeing people grow. Some of the things I've gone through and/or am passionate about. : Grief: 15 years ago I lost my mom and sister in the same year. I've navigated loss and come out the other side. Marriage: I love marriage. I'm a recovering man-child and learning to offer more of myself to my wife and to love and serve her well. Fatherhood: I love being a dad, even when it drives me crazy. It's the best and hardest thing I've ever done. It's an honor. And it's insanely hard to do well. Identity: As a recovering people pleaser, I'm learning more and more about what my God-given identity and gifts are. I've spent a lot of years placing my value in what I do or in how people feel about me. I'm learning how to do that less and less every day. Adventure: I've traveled the world and done hard things. It's taught me a lot about myself and even more about God. Spiritual Growth: I've done a lot of this- mostly not well. I'm re-learning how to grow spiritually. I'm unlearning bad theology and learning what healthy spiritual habits are for the first time.

I'm a mom of two girls (9 and 12), wife for 13 years and an animal lover. I'm an accountant by trade, but love to watercolor paint, be outside and pet sit. I grew up in church, but really found relationship with Jesus about nine years ago. I have an unbelieving husband and that's been a huge part of my spiritual growth. I love connecting with other women who are in similar spots so I can be an encouragement and help them grow in their faith as well. Happy to connect in person or just through texts :)

I am a retired school teacher who likes to read and sew. I have been on 10+ mission trips and love to travel.

I’m a Jesus-loving wife and a mom of 3 teenagers. I love to learn and seek out answers in the Bible - I had a LOT of questions about faith in high school and early college and have continued to grow since then! My friends would describe me as compassionate and non-judgmental - I love to listen, learn people’s stories, and encourage. I’ve been on a wild journey learning more about the Holy Spirit in the last couple of years and love to pray with people. God has walked me through grief, betrayal in friendship, trauma, and deep insecurities over the last 25ish years and (though I’m still a work in process) I have found hope and wholeness and freedom in Him. I love to encourage others and help them find the same in their relationship with Jesus.

Tons of ups & downs - no judgement! Eternal learner/ Engineer/ Educator/ Wife + Mom/ Former military - invested in the next generation & what matters. Traveled the world, ?? what God has & will do - the BEST is yet to come! Add coffee, wine, books, hike/sports (Greenbay Packers), fine arts & foodie - what’s new & challenging?

I have mentored several women through difficult times in their lives toward growth spiritually and emotionally. My gifting is being a good listener and helping by listening and challenging in areas of growth spiritually and emotionally. I have experienced death of my spouse, physical and emotional abuse and general doubts of God's goodness and path for me. I have a long list of tools to help as appropriate too.

I am a follower of Jesus, a wife, and a mom to 2 beautiful daughters. I fought through Post-Partum Depression twice, Post-Partum Anxiety once, I currently work multiple jobs while trying to rebuild my marriage after infidelity. I would be honored to be apart of your faith journey and learn more about what it means to be a Disciple of Jesus alongside you!

I have been engaged in full time ministry for 23 plus years. God worked a miracle in healing my marriage and I have a 19yr old daughter that is a product of God's intervention. My wife and I have now been married for 35yrs and also have a 33yr old son and two teenage step-grandchildren that are a blessing that came when our son met our wonderful daughter-in-law. My ministry strengths align most in the area of pastoral care during crisis. I am a natural encourager and understand the value of being able to quietly listen and be present while providing comfort and support. My hope for mentoring would be to use my life experience and testimony to be of help and support to anyone as they grow in their faith and work through the challenges marriage, parenting, and surviving in the workplace can present.

Wife of 10+ years, mom of 3 young kids, and a recovering lawyer who loves chatting over coffee, wine, or a great meal

My name is DaManuel or I go by D-Man for short. I have been on Crossroads staff for 4 years. I'm really passion about impacting the next generation and growing people to look like Jesus daily. Outside of that I like to take my fitness journey really, playing tennis, and cooking. My hope as your mentor is to push your and help you look like Jesus. I can't wait to mentor you!

I've been married for 16 years, have 4 kids (some with extra medical needs), and have spent the last ten diving deep into my own discipleship and growth. I'm interested in helping men heal and grow/work through marriage issues on the brink of divorce, recovery from sexual abuse, and learning to lead your family spiritual and rhythmically. Located in NW Cincinnati

I'm passionate about women who want to lead in the church- whether that's leading other women, moms, students, or kids. I love to build into others who are pouring their time and talents into other people.

Hello, I'm a mom of three MEN. Married for 26 years and I've been following Christ for about 21 years. I did not grow up a believer. Not until I was an adult did I even realize that you could have a relationship with Jesus. I would love to walk alongside another woman and explore deepening her faith and/or establishing a relationship with God. I'll share the different ways I lean into Him, while connecting and hopefully forming a friendship.

Hey there! Here is some basic info about me… I have been married for 10 years and have 3 kids: 2, 5, and 7. I have attended crossroads for over 13 years and been involved in various ways along with attending a couple of man camps. I have been fortunate to have been mentored/discipled and from that opportunity I have experienced spiritual and emotional growth and wisdom. I still continue to live and learn and pursue (imperfectly) a relationship with God through my daily life. Through a mentor relationship I hope sharing my life experiences and wisdom is helpful, but most importantly hope to encourage a stronger relationship and closeness with God. I don’t see mentoring as always being a coffee shop activity (although happy to do that sometimes too) or talking face to face. I have a variety of interests: casual sports fan, hiking/camping, drinking beer/bourbon, baking bread, home repair, disc golf. Happy to make any of these activities or others a part of a remote or in-person mentor relationship.

Hey! I'm wife of 30+ years and a mother. I work at a university, so my heart is helping young adults find their fit in the world. I tend to nerd out on bread-baking techniques, knitting, and the occasional Netflix series. People say I'm an encouraging coach, especially for work or relationship topics.

Hi! My best day would be spent hiking in the mountains with family, friends or by myself-kinda depends on the day! I've been married to my husband Doug for 24 years and we have three kids/adults 21, 20 and 18. I'm a runner, reader, journal writer and outdoors person. The biggest through-line in all of my relationships and pursuits is a steadfast relationship with Jesus. He is my source of peace, joy and hope through all of life's challenges and the person I turn to ti find life's trail markers. I'd love to walk with you through the season of life you are in and listen well. I have my own mentor and my life is better for it!

I started going to Crossroads by accident. I wasn't a believer. I didn't want to be a believer. But the more I wrestled with questions about who Jesus was, the more I couldn't look away. That was 20 years ago. Now I strive to look a little more like Jesus each day, whether it's leading my family, being a believer in the workforce, or simply learning to choose Him when I don't feel like it. The right fit would be for someone looking to take their faith deeper in their lives. Even if it's simply just trying to figure out how to start.

I am looking forward to mentoring because I love to see people grow and develop a deeper relationship to God!

I am retired from P&G. I write Poetry, Paint, and make Mosaics. I'm also on the prayer team and volunteer with the Care Team.

I am a devoted follower of Jesus, a loving wife of 35 years, a proud mom, and a new grandma to twin grandsons. With 30 years of faith under my belt, I have a deep passion for empowering women. My marriage, though unequally yoked, has been a testament to God's blessings, proving that love and faith can thrive in diverse circumstances. As a mother, I've navigated the challenges of raising an overachiever and supporting a son on his journey to recovery from alcohol struggles. My experiences have equipped me to speak on family dynamics, addiction and marriage to a beloved unbeliever. I grew up poor, in an Appalachian county and eventually was raised by my grandmother. The journey has given me insights into childhood trauma and the transformative power of forgiveness. I live in Cincinnati and work full time.

Mentoring goes both ways. Both parties should grow through the conversations.

Happy to connect with women who want mentorship with someone who's "been there". With four children who are between the ages of 12-22, I feel like I've seen and survived a few things in parenthood. As a former middle school and high school principal, I have also had the opportunity to work with families as they have navigated those tumultuous years. I hope to share my love of God and provide encouragement for women on their journey.

Hi! I'm a single, light hearted, God loving, animal loving, people loving, friend you didn't know you had in Indiana! I have grown tremendously in my faith, trust, and knowledge, of Christ and have a passion for helping others do the same. I'm hoping to be able to help with questions, equip others to make the best life choices for themselves, provide guidance, and gain some friends. My friends would describe me as caring, goofy, and reliable. So, if that's for you look no further. Here I am!

I'm Jaime! Suburban mom of two kiddos, wife of a teacher, lover of (almost) all cookies, a good glass of red wine, and reading. My passion is developing and building into others while having fun along the way!

I have grown so much through mentors and leaders that have built into me and I would love to pass this along to others. I grew up Catholic, but pulled away from church in college through my 20's. Fortunately, God put my future wife into my life and through her desire to reconnect, we went on an amazing faith journey that led me back into a relationship with Jesus. My wife and I have been together for 24 years and we have three children (10, 16 and 18). I am always learning and growing (it's a journey) and love discussing life, faith, the bible, etc. with folks who are in various stages of their faith/life journey.

My name is Jamie. I'm 36 years old. I gave my life to Jesus when I was 8 and I've been figuring out what that means and looks like ever since. I've been married to my husband for 6 years in October. We do not have any children. That was a hard choice and we've been learning to live the best life with what we have. I love to travel, hike, read, and I love in depth conversations. I'm an enneagram 4. I'm passionate about helping others figure out their own relationship with Jesus and just love getting to know and connect with others. I've always had a heart for women. I've been a part of student ministry and young adult ministry for years and love getting to do life with others.

I'm passionate about assisting women who want to learn more about God. I have learned a lot during my 23+ years of walking with the Lord, but I am no expert. I would love to explore your questions together. We can discover, share and grow to 'get through this thing called life'. (yes, I am a Prince fan)

I am a wife and mother of 3 children (23, 20 and 6). My husband and I love our blended family. I enjoy reading, learning to cook, working out (Pilates and walking), going on adventures and also being home. I love the Lord and encouraging others. Watching people succeed makes my heart swell!

I have been married for 37 years. After a year and 1/2 of marriage (and my husband getting his masters from Ohio Univ), we felt called to join the staff of Athletes in Action, a subsidiary of CRU ministries. We have been on their full time staff for 36 years and now serve at their headquarters in Xenia, OH. We raised 5 children (book end boys, 3 girls in the middle) in the Mason area for the past 35 years. From our 3 oldest, we have 11 grandchildren! I home-schooled for (a combo of all and some of our children) for 11 years when they were younger, we sent 3 to private high school and 2 remained at Mason high school. I love the Word of God! I have "learner" in my top 5 strengths, so I naturally love studying the Bible and talking about it with others. I am an active almost 60 year old (!) and love to run, play pickleball and lift. I also coach middle school XC at Mason Middle and I am about to start my 14th year of coaching this summer/fall.

Hello! I’m Jenna, 39 years old, married to my wonderful husband Michael (10 years and counting) and we have an amazing 17 year old son Bradley. We also have two incredible large breed pups Thor & Ella. I have been a Christian most of my life, but it wasn’t until early 2022 that it clicked that I was making Jesus just my Savior and not also my Lord. When Crossroads launched their Daily Bible challenge on 1/1/2022, everything changed for not only myself but also my family. I have been in my Bible every day since in my life has completely changed. I went from being a Christian and bondage and not truly living a life free even though I’m a child of the Most High King to learning about how to take my authority in Jesus name and break free from all of the bondage. I am still growing every single day, but I think I have enough knowledge as of right now to help someone who may not be as far along their journey. I have a good understanding now of deliverance, spiritual gifts, healing (spiritual, physical & soul), etc. It has been a whirlwind 3 years with a LOT of classes, being in community with other Jesus followers, and doing the hard work (sanctification!) Yes, that’s a fancy word that took me about a year and a half to fully grasp ?? Happy to go on this journey with you (either virtual or in person). Please note, although we attended Crossroads for 10 years we have stopped attending (we usually watch Pastor Mike Signerolli through V1 Church). I do live close to the Mason location though :)

I am a mom living on the East Side of Cincinnati. I enjoy helping women navigate their careers, especially after becoming moms. I've worked both in-person and from home, full-time and part-time, and I've been in the ministry, self-employed, and corporate worlds. My background is in personal finance, and I am on staff part-time at Crossroads. I help run the FreedUp program and other stewardship ministry projects. I love helping everyday people feel more empowered with their own finances.

I have been married for 45 years to the beautiful mother of our 4 daughters. We have 3 son-in-laws and 3 grandchildren. After committing my life to Christ in my early 20's it's been a long road taking a hard headed, temperamental Italian male and replacing it with the gentleness, grace and love for others that Christ has. We have made mistakes in our marriage and child raising but we have done many things well with the guidance of Christ. We have gone through financial difficulties, made tough choices and are now living on the other side. Our goal is to share our life experiences to help others stay the course, build strong marriages and watch God provide.

I'm an Anywhere member living in Annapolis, MD. I have 2 kids, ages 24 (boy) and 27 (girl). I have a passion for helping other men ages 18+ as they navigate their spiritual and masculine journeys. I've mentored men ages 18-60+. I'm recovering from multiple addictions which led to betrayal in my marriage, and through God's grace, a healing process that's been life-changing for me and my wife over the past 8 years. I'm hoping to help men get oriented in the Kindgom and avoid making the massive messes I've made in my life. If they already have, I'm also hoping to be a ray of hope they can use to help heal themselves and others they've impacted.

I'm here for you! If you are struggling with Anxiety, Depression, Alcoholism or Addiction, I can relate and have experience with a spiritual toolkit! If you want something different I can show you the same spiritual program of action.

I'm not just a mom... I'm a "cool mom." Seriously, I'm a middle-aged mom of two teenagers. I married my high school sweetheart 20 years ago, and I've been a "mom" to friends since I was a teenager myself. Youth ministry had a huge impact on my life, but as I've grown in my adult faith, I've learned that my relationship with Jesus is deeper and more vibrant than following a legalistic formula. I'm an enneagram 2, and I'm deeply empathic. Compassion is my super-power, and finding order out of chaos is a gift that I cherish. I've been on a journey to find purpose in my vocation, and that's led me to be on the ReachOut team at Crossroads. I'm still learning, growing, and seeking, and I would be honored to come alongside you to encourage you on your faith journey!

I am so excited to be here. I’m an assistant Professor, a mental health therapist, and a mom of two littles. I navigated a PhD program while being pregnant with my first, and then dealt with reoccurring miscarriages before being pregnant with my second. I had a lot of heartbreak in college and had a lot of brokenness in childhood. How I wish someone would’ve introduced me to Jesus. I don’t have all of the answers but thank God we serve a lord who loves us. I would love to connect with anyone navigating loss, motherhood, spiritual confusion, college/ highschool, brokenness from their past, heartbreak. I don’t have it figured out and I’ll never pretend to but I hope to lead with a heart of Jesus and nothing but authentically myself. I’m so thankful for the huddle through crossroads and the many mentors who have poured their heart in me.

I'm a passionate follower of Jesus, mom to an awesome twentysomething daughter, lover of intimate talks with good friends, long time Crossroads staffer and spreadsheet ninja. I love sharing anything I Iearn and equipping women spiritually in way that feels natural to them

I am a wife, mom (of adults), business owner who didn't grow up in church but fell in love with Jesus as an adult. I have had great mentors. I value spending time with women as the walk, learn and grow in their faith with Jesus and different life stages.

Hello, My name is Kim. I’m so excited to be a part of the mentor program. I’ve been at crossroads since 1997. I’ve been a follower of Christ since 1991. I’m a graphic artist, singer and painter. I’m married 26 years and a mother of three grown children. I have a studio in Loveland Ohio. I’ve volunteered as a worship leader since 1997. I attend crossroads in mason. I’m thrilled to mentor and have lead groups, mentored individuals for several years. I love how God works through art and music.

I’m a mom of two (soon-to-be forty-somethings) and a firm believer in the power of encouragement. I love long walks, meaningful conversations, and reminding others they are God’s beautifully unique creation. Having learned that our deepest passions often grow from our pains, I’m excited to walk alongside others with empathy, faith, and a listening heart.

I've been going to Crossroads since I moved to Cincinnati in 2009. I'm married with 2 daughters, 6 and 4. I own a small real estate business with a few employees. I enjoy doing things outside - hiking, motorcycle riding, hunting, etc.

I've been going to Crossroads since 2005 and have been a Christ follower since I was 16. After 36 years in the corporate world (plus 3+ in the Army), my wife and I have moved to the inner city of Cincinnati to do neighborhood ministry. I've facilitated several men's small groups and enjoy interacting on a faith basis with men.

Hi! I’m Leah-wife to Shaun, Mom to 3 awesome girls and business woman. I love Jesus, my family, traveling, cooking, cheese, coffee, hiking, music and perfectly imperfect people who want to be a little more like Jesus every day.

I love living an "aggressive" life. I take on new things and love how God has used different opportunities to help me grow. I love gardening, playing piano and guitar, and being outdoors. These are all places where I feel close to God. My hope with mentoring is that I can encourage and help you look at some questions to clarify your direction and focus. I am a good listener and will ask you what you need today. I will support you with prayer.

Hi and welcome! I’m a mom of 2 adult kids. I’m also a widow. I have been a Christ follower most of my life and I’m strong believer in God’s word. I’ve been coming to Crossroads since 1998. God developed my faith early with the challenges I walked through. As a mentor, I want to hear your story and walk with you. My life has not been an easy path so I can relate. Because of this, I have perspective on adversity and how it can shape us. I’m here to listen, offer insight and point you to God’s word.

I am a mom of 9 (biological, adopted and foster) kids from ages 34-4. I have been married 36 years and I love investing in the growth and development of others. I am happy to share any knowledge, experience, and wisdom I have with women or couples in order to support and encourage a deep faith and connection to God. If it is a couple mentorship my husband is willing to be involved as well. I have followed Jesus my whole life through many trials. I understand that life is hard but God is good.

Hello, My name is Lissette, and I’ve had the privilege of being a part of this amazing church community for the past seven years. Throughout my journey, I have said “yes” to God’s call, and wherever He leads me, I go. While I do not claim to have all the answers, my heart is to walk alongside you, discovering them together. I look forward to sharing this journey and growing in faith with you.

I began my Crossroads journey in 2014. I am passionate about service to my sisters and brothers looking for how, why, and where to learn what God has waiting for them. Our God has gifted me with the ability to connect with all people. I love to talk and learn with whom I am with so God can begin to reveal your gifts that you have been blessed with. I also am a teacher, guide and overall a lover of all life has for us here and now.

Married almost 30 years and mom to 4 young adults, I love building into people and leading teams that help expand the kingdom.

I currently lived in Grand Rapids, MI. I am married (for 29 years) with no kids. I grew catholic and even went to catholic school through my sophomore year of high school. As far as I can remember I have bee a follower of Christ but my relationship didn't develop until 2009 after my Mom passed away. I enjoy reading, learning new things, cooking/baking, hosting and traveling. I don't know all the answers or pretend to know. I also will not sugar coat things. However, will provide my perceptions or insights and allow others to form their next steps. Then I will walk along side you for as long as you want.

Hi, I’m a Father to two teenage boys and a Husband. My passion is mountain biking, cycling, and barefoot waterskiing with my boys. I love to help others as well. I'm a recovering addict who, through the grace of god, has been led to a better life because of Jesus Christ. I've had a not-so-great past but have been able to grow from my experiences in life.

Mentoring: My philosophy is based on cultivating self-awareness, facilitated self-guidance, and building deep roots of faith and character-and-competence based leadership. While my capacity (time) to engage is very limited, I'm open to finding the best way to engage to give you the best chance to become the person you believe God made you to be. *Two keys: Make sure you know WHY you want to grow, and that you follow through on anything you commit to do. These are table stakes for growth. Faith and Family: I have been learning how to follow Jesus for the past 24 years. My wife and I have now been married for 3 1/2 years, and we have a young son whom we love dearly Profession: I worked for 10 years in financial services, started 2 small businesses, served for many years as a community and church volunteer in various capacities, have now worked for 3 1/2 years in the nonprofit world, and also am an independent coach/consultant/trainer. Passions: Personal passions include time with my family, reading/learning. exploring the world through travel and food, and anything outdoors or competitive. Professional passions include enabling leaders (and aspiring leaders) to grow, advising teams and organizations toward maximum impact, and bridging divides to enable collaboration.

I have a heart for people who have given up on God or believe they've screwed up too much to be in a relationship with God. Why? Because I used to be that person. I was fortunate to have people build into me without judgment and I feel called to do the same for others. I also enjoy mentoring younger women who are getting started in their careers.

I'm here to listen. I've been following Jesus for 37+ years, and have been married for 36 years. I have 3 adult children and 6 grandchildren (yet, I'm a pretty young grandpa at 56). Over the years, I've made lots of mistakes (and sins) in my past that I am willing to share with anyone and show how God forgives, restores, and transforms our lives. "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." Proverbs 27:17

My name is Normarys Perez-Linn and I live in Fort Mitchell, KY with my husband and four kids. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and moved to Cincinnati about 15 years ago due to work. In 2016 my husband and I moved to NKY. That same year I quit my job in marketing to stay home with our first born and help my husband in his business. I've been attending Crossroads since 2015. In the past I have helped with Kid's Club, Awaited and small groups. I have also led GO trips, Bible Study groups and Woman Camp groups. I'm currently leading a Moms Bible Study group at my home while also serving as a Board Member of a local ministry. I love being home with my kiddos and available to help at their school when needed. I have two boys and two girls. Jude is 9, Penelope and Liam are 6 and Eva is 4. I enjoy reading, being in community, traveling and journaling. ?I’m interested in mentoring young women due to the impact wise women had in my life when I was a young mom of one. It is truly my heart and passion to serve other women.

I am a mother, grandmother, a retired teacher and a widow after almost 50 years of marriage. I accepted Christ as a youth. I have mentored teen and facilitated several Bible studies and small groups. I have been trained as a Stephens Minister. I have had some really difficult times in my life and have benefited from mentors who have helped me stay grounded in my faith. I hope I can be that friend for others.

Hi there! I have been married for 8 wonderful years. We have 2 kids (3 and 1). I have been an elemenatry school teacher for 10 years. We moved across the country for a little but found our way back to Cincinnati. My family loves to travel, scuba dive just spend time with eachother. I have experience in, and think I would be best suited mentoring a girl college or young adult age!

Hi! I’ve never made and online dating profile before but here goes ;) I’m Rachel Hamann- Cincinnati resident, wife of 10 years, stay-at-home mom of three littles, and crossroads attendee of 13 years. I’ve been involved in a lot of different ways at crossroads but my favorite way is connecting with people and facilitating growth. I enjoy deep conversations and confronting the nitty gritty parts of life with honesty and curiosity (and humor). I’m a former social worker with a passion for advocating for women and besides that I love Jesus, coffee, novels, juicy IPAs and springtime. Thanks for reading!

I honestly think any problem in the world can be solved with discipleship. Seriously! We all need someone who's at least one step ahead walking us through life so we aren't doing it alone. Whether you lead a business or you're in high school—we just need each other. I love helping women get unstuck. Whether that's spiritually, professionally, or relationally. Whether you can't break patterns in your life that you know hold you back, or you're just drowning and need to figure out how to reset. I'm so grateful for how people have mentored me through unforgiveness, busyness, fear, conflict, insecurity, parenting, leadership, and so much more. I love helping other women hear God's voice to live the full life He has for them.

I love searching the Bible for the answers to life's hard questions, particularly related to growth and healing from sexual abuse. "How do I get out of victim mentality?" "How do I forgive?" "What do I do with my anger?" "Is there anything to be thankful for in these hard things?" just to name a few. Having walked this path myself with exceptional mentors along the way, I hope to continue growing (there's always more to learn!) while sharing what has helped me. I'm open to conversations and study with any age women wanting to grow in this way.

My life verse is Romans 8:28, I believe our stories form us and should be shared, to connect and help others. I love hearing others stories and seeing how God showed up. If you're seeking guidance, support, or simply someone to bounce ideas off of, I'm here to help. My desire is to be available and help you find the peace and joy that God intends each of us to possess. If you are interested we can navigate the complexities and beautiful mess that is life together.

I have been married for 22 years. I am a mom of a teen and a college student. I love adventure and anything outdoors! I am passionate about marriage, parenting, and helping you grow spiritually.

I believe God has a purpose for everyone, and He has a grand story for you to be a part of. I love helping people figure out how to make the most of their single life, how to grow as a dad and husband, and what it means to be a man in today's culture. Following Jesus is an adventure, not just a bunch of do's and don'ts (although he does invite us to live differently). Your life should reflect that adventure. Other topics we can discuss: anything NBA related, how to improve your fantasy football team, how to work out on limited time, and finding the best shoes for your basketball pickup game.

I am retired from 40 years working in a corporate environment. Married 42 years, 3 children and 2 grandchildren. I enjoy serving others and volunteer with lots of church activities. I have grown closer to God in my retirement through bible reading, prayer and doing life with others. Currently, spending time with homeless women, listening to their stories and sharing God's love with them.

My wife and I have been going to Crossroads for about 15 years. I'm a dad to 3 daughters and have been married to my wife for over 20 years. I don't have all of the answers, I'm just trying to be more like Jesus. When I'm stuck, I look to him. When I'm good, I try to be thankful and grateful. I want to help encourage others to do the same and to enjoy the gift of life.

I believe God created each and every one of us for a meaningful adventure and I love walking alongside people to help discern what that might be. I'm super passionate about being intentional (versus passive) in life—whether that's pursuing meaningful work, strengthening your marriage, apprenticing Jesus, or planning the greatest vacation adventure ever! I've worked for P&G, was an entrepreneur for over a decade, and now work at Crossroads doing staff development. My husband and I also served in marriage ministry for over a decade. I love travel, the outdoors, experiencing new fun activities, playing games, creating craft beverages, weaving, reading, trying not to kill my many houseplants, and cuddling with my 17-year old dachshund.

I am retired now, but was a full time working mom for many, many years. I value family above all else, but also faith, friends, fun, and fitness. I'd love to use my life experiences in a way that is helpful to someone else.

Hi, I’m Sydney. I am a wife, a stay-at-home mom, a birth doula, and soon to be a homeschooling parent with a heart for encouraging others. My story is far from perfect, but it’s one filled with grace, redemption, and the kind of transformation that only Jesus can bring. Following Jesus has shaped me in ways I never expected, teaching me patience, resilience, and the beauty of surrender. I have a deep passion for creating a home that is full of joy, community, connection, and lot's of attempts at cooking, baking crafting and gardening (some with more success than others!). As a mentor I hope to be a good listening ear, someone to live life alongside. I do not have life "figured out" but I have grown and changed immensely in the last 10 years thanks to my walk with Jesus and following some basic solid spiritual principles. I was once a very lost 20 something making some less than wise decisions, so there will never be judgement or lack of vulnerability with me. Time together could look like meet up for coffee, taking a walk, having you over for warm cookies on my couch, or inviting you to join my family for dinner (with likely a side of curious toddler questions).

A significant time of spiritual growth happened for me when I was intentionally mentored / discipled in my mid 20's so I have great interest in doing the same to pass it along. I find my strengths to be reading the Bible and using it to find a connecting time with Jesus to talk about what he is saying - an encouragement, comfort, correction, or giving him our anxiety, fears, or struggles. And I really enjoying praying for people and calling on God to come near, to help, to show up in a tangible way. My wife and I have 4 children and would hope to have someone join our home for meals or some games of Pickleball in our back yard!

Hey there! My name is Taylor & I'm 28 years old. I'm a newlywed that lives in Oakley & am obsessed with my cat, coffee, and Jesus. After growing up in the church my entire childhood (pastor's kid), I walked away from God at 18 when I went to college & came back to Him at 23 when I hit rock bottom in life. After joining a Young Adults group & discovering who He was again, I decided to choose Him for myself & got re-baptized on a GO trip to South Africa. I've seen healing, miracles, and so much joy since then. I can honestly say my life is 1,000 times better with Him than it was without Him. He has SO much for you & your story and it's only beginning. Would love to connect & encourage you! I'm a non-judgmental, supportive, listening ear & would love to partner alongside you in prayer & mentorship!

I am a retiree who had a passion to studying God's Word. I am looking to be an encouragement to someone who on the journey of a deeper relationship with God. I enjoy sports, photography, and volunteering with people. Most people think I am a consistent individual and trustworthy. I do believe in open two way communication which means listening is important.

I have been a Christ follower for the last 18 years. My passion is keeping women together in community to learn, grow and apply God's Word in their lives. Having this foundation for myself as well is the only way I could have gotten through my husband of 33 years who suffered a traumatic brain injury at the end of 2022 AND I myself having gone through treatment for a chronic rare blood cancer in 2017 (while now enjoying being in remission). Having this personal relationship with God has kept HOPE alive and being able to lean into HIS promises and wisdom to get me through the last 15 + months with my husband. I have learned to have awesome JOY in the journey. So if you are someone that needs a mentor to help navigate through any health issue, with faith, and be able to do this with God as your ultimate guide, I am here for you. My hope for mentoring is to help those that have gone through a tragedy with a loved one, or a health issue with yourself. EveryBODY is different but there is only ONE TRUE God who can get us through our challenges with health no matter what is happening with us if we only look to HIM!

We are all on a journey in life. Over the years I have had the opportunity to be mentored by a number of amazing people of God. These people have again and again shown me more about who God is and the benefits of having him in my life. I have also had the opportunity to help others as they explore the questions and choices, we all face. I still have lots of places to go and things to do, and one of those is spending some time with people who looking to head in a similar direction. If that is you, let's talk.

I am a mom to 4 adult kiddos - most are non believers which is obviously heartbreaking to me so definitely my biggest prayer everyday! I was in a not so healthy marriage with their dad, but we all came out of it okay and I am in my second marriage now with a man who loves Jesus (YAY). I love pursuing God and learning more every day. I work full time. I have been on a few GO trips and hope to do more. I love mentor relationships as I believe they are LIFE giving BOTH ways!!
