Jocelyn was raised in Minnesota and Wisconsin (brrrrr!) as part of a family of 4. She moved to Texas from Green Bay, WI so of course she is a big Packers fan and sports fanatic! Joc has dance and music in her blood. You’ll often find her swaying to music in her head and in conversation, will randomly have song lyrics in her head from anything you say. She enjoys spending her free time with her community, attending or volunteering at networking events, reading, attending concerts, and writing music! Jocelyn also serves with a local prison ministry once a month focused on bringing the gospel into local max security prisons!

She attended Liberty University and graduated with a Communications-TV/Radio/Film degree. She is married to John with three adult children who still live in Austin. Kimberly has a passion for home decorating and landscape maintenance, so if she’s not shopping for home décor, you can find her with a chainsaw in hand out in the yard. A runner for over 22 years, she now enjoys time on the trail at Ladybird Lake, walking her dogs, and light biking. Her passion is talking with and encouraging high school students, college students, and young adults about life, God’s promise of a ‘future and a hope’ and how Jesus has a plan.

Helping men thrive in their relationship with Christ and seeing that vertical relationship transcend every horizontal aspect of their lives - from marriage to parenting, from work and to leisure - is an opportunity he is thankful to pour his life into.
