Stirring Souls Toward Jesus

Through Music, Speaking, and Writing

There is a longing within all of us.

I sense it, and you probably do too. It’s a void that lingers and yearns to be filled with redemption, love, belonging, hope, meaning… and so much more.  Often, we satisfy our longings with quick fixes and choices that leave us empty and worse off than when we started.  It is easy to do. I know because I have been there. 

But when we put our trust in Jesus and all He offers, our lives are forever different.
We discover the only solution for our sin and brokenness.
A love the world cannot offer.
Strength in adversity.
Purpose.
The power to rise above what is meant to destroy.

“For He satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul He fills with good things.” Psalm 107:9

Hi, I'm Mary.

With Jesus you can rise above® and Live A Winning Story®

I am so glad you are here. Though we may not know each other personally, I believe God has connected us for a reason. While the details of our stories may vary, we can all speak to our broken nature, the challenges of life, and the longing to know victory is possible.

I assure you, it is. Every day, I am thankful God rescued me and redeemed the self-willed life I chose to live. Each song I sing and word I share is intended to stir, inspire, and soothe your soul with the hope and peace only Jesus can give. 

My desire is that you will welcome His pursuit of your heart and allow Him to transform your life as He is daily transforming mine. 

Music

The Bible says, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Matt. 12:34b). I would also contend, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth sings.” Since the day I ran headlong into the restorative love of Jesus, He has changed what I want to sing about.

Music is a gift from God. It tears down walls, softens the heart, and stirs the soul toward Jesus. Each melody and lyric I offer is meant to help people draw near to the Lord, nourish them with His promises, and ultimately to give Him glory.

Speaking

We learn and grow through God’s Word and each other’s stories.

Hebrews 4:12 says, “The word of God is a discerner of our thoughts and intentions of the heart.” There is something incredibly powerful that happens when we gather to delve into Scripture and apply it to our lives. It takes courage, but I am here to be courageous with you.

Through testimony, I transparently proclaim (1 Peter 2:9) what the Lord has done in my life and continues to teach me. By doing so, it strengthens people’s faith and motivates some to become proclaimers themselves.

Writing

Carefully chosen words to comfort and strengthen.

Writing provides a way for me to connect more deeply with others concerning God’s truth, discuss how (though Him) we can overcome obstacles, and live winning, God-honoring stories.

You have been a powerful influence in my life. Your honesty about your sin and struggles has helped me be honest about mine.

Messages of conviction balanced with love are hard to come by these days. Mary gives both through her story.

You left me reflecting on the service almost daily. It moved me to the point where I was able to say 'I forgive you' and felt a relief once I did.
