MEET JULIE
Hello! Welcome to my website. It is a gathering place for us to connect and prayerfully you will find inspiration and encouragement to keep living victoriously. Please take a few minutes to look around and I would appreciate you letting others know about my website as well.
With gratitude, I'm an enrolled member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe and was born and raised in Rapid City, South Dakota (23 miles from Mt. Rushmore) and while I left for a few years, I returned, had a family and have been serving as the Lead Pastor at Big Life Church since 2006. In addition, I am a speaker and teacher and in Christian radio. My Morning Show, "It's A New Day” features a live prayer time on Facebook, worship music and community events. Listen live, M-F, 6-10:00 AM, MT here. I’m also the mom of 2 amazing and great human beings, Kendra & Kendel who bring me sooo much joy! There's a special beagle in my life as well who teaches me to take time to smell the flowers.
After many years of being life partners, my life was abruptly changed when my late husband and I were separated by death in 2010. Through many painful and sorrow filled days and nights, I decided to keep living. With God's great grace and help, my life has continued. Re opening my heart to love again and not staying stuck has been a great gift to myself. 10 years later, I was re-married on August 1, 2020 to a man after God’s heart, my best friend, Coyal. Thank God, He is the restorer of hearts. I live from a hope that is beyond what I can see in the natural and I know that Jesus, the Living Hope empowers me and you when we choose to move past fears, insecurities, obstacles and expectations to keep moving forward in faith.
I believe that God loves us and He has this awesome plan for our lives, and sometimes that plan includes experiencing pain, difficulty and hard things, and trusting the process of His love for you. And, those times will cause you to dig deep in yourself and God, to find vision for your purpose. It's while you're digging that you find strength. God offers us abundant grace and He has great love for us that reaches wider than anything we could imagine! This temporary assignment is called life, and it is experienced best when we enjoy it.
I hope along your journey, I can inspire and encourage you, and also remind you that you WILL make it! Christ is your guarantee.
