Here at Find Me Thankful, we will open the conversation of how to thrive while still experiencing the pain, loss, and abandonment. We will talk about the story of redemption through adoption and the life of extreme pursuit of Jesus and all the challenges that come with that such as shame, failure, and fear. We will dive into how remaining in a place of gratitude and thankfulness can keep your soul satisfied.

As a married couple of 11+ years and parents of four we will dive deep into God’s faithfulness of the struggles and the wins of raising our 4 children in today’s culture. We will bring in some special guests who have helped shaped our life by their wisdom and unshakable grace to call out the things we didn’t see in love and truth. We look forward to you joining us on this journey as we learn how to completely die to our selfish desires in exchange for Christs love, acceptance and experience his pure adoration for us.
