“Being heard is so close to being loved that for the average person, they are almost indistinguishable.”
Janell has been a Christian for most of her life but has a deep passion for those who are struggling with where they are at with faith. She loves to talk in various settings- but usually gravitates after her talks to young women who open up about their struggles or questions regarding life and God. She's been through her own seasons of wondering, wandering, hurting, and doubting. With a Masters-level education in Counseling Psychology, a passion for apologetics, background in advocacy for women in crisis, and communication skills gained from nearly 20 years of "'til death do us part," Janell has found just one who has the answers. His name is Jesus. True Restoration, Eternity, Authenticity, and Love belongs to Him. She loves to combine vulnerability, humor, truth and invitation when she's talking with others, whether it's one-on-one with young women, recording with cohosts and guests on her podcast, or when speaking for an audience.

“I have had the privilege of hearing Janell speak on a few different platforms. In each setting, she has a way of getting down to the real heart of things without shying away from the Truth. Each time I’ve heard her, I’ve laughed, sometimes cried, been encouraged in my faith, and am always inspired to have a deeper walk with God and look for more ways to love people well.
