Refresh Mentoring is a non-denominational, non-profit Christian ministry that seeks to invite and equip every woman to experience fresh life in Jesus through healthy mentoring relationships.  Refresh mentoring reaches real women, empowering them to be who God has designed them to be as they live intentionally and Biblically. Free training, coaching, and resources are available to equip women of all ages and walks of life. These tools and resources will be most beneficial when they are used in the context of life-on-life discipleship. With families more spread out and living in a variety of contexts mentoring relationships are more crucial than ever. We no longer have “a village” to help raise our families and encourage spiritual growth.  We believe when women intentionally invest in other women, as Titus 2:3-5 and 2 Timothy 2:2 help model, the whole body of Christ becomes more beautiful and
the Church is strengthened.

I’ve prayed God would help me be a bright light whether serving 13 years on staff with Cru, loving my husband, raising three children, leading a large women’s ministry at a local church or utilizing my design degree. (Including those not so glamorous times of cleaning bathrooms or sweeping a warehouse.)

With a surrendered heart toward God, a vibrant love and connection with women in our city, along with decades of mentoring experience, I believe I am in a season where I have the most to give. 

Being convinced my most significant years of ministry are ahead, in July 2018 I took a step of faith and quit my design job to found this ministry called Refresh Mentoring. Refresh wants to invite and equip every woman to experience fresh life in Jesus through healthy mentoring relationships.

…a movement of women
…standing on the truth found in God’s Word
…loving and encouraging each other
…so that each woman becomes all that God has created her to be

So, it’s with an open heart for God to work, open hands to serve and an open invitation for you to join with us. Refresh wants to help you establish deep roots, grow in the discovery of who you are and walk alongside of you as you live out the full and meaningful life Christ offers.

I grew up in Spencer, Nebraska and graduated from Wayne State with a degree in Exercise Science.  While at college God moved my heart toward ministry as he worked in amazing ways through a student led ministry of Cru on our campus.  I met Ethan at Wayne State and we were married in 2003. We spent the first 12 years of our life together on staff with Cru working on college campuses around the state of Nebraska. When Ethan accepted the position of CEO for Grad Resources, a ministry to graduate students throughout the nation, our family moved to Texas. There I had the opportunity to be primarily at home with our 4 kids and also serve in leadership for the women’s ministry at our home church in McKinney.  

God continues to grow our hearts for Him and His people and has brought us back to Nebraska to serve.

I have loved watching God work through Refresh Mentoring and the people we have partnered with in ministry.
