In Lisa’s years of women’s ministry, the Lord has cultivated her passion and compassion for the unique struggles women face each day. Her ministry centers on sharing with other women her Scripture-based understanding of God’s lavish love through humor, personal real-life stories, and her unique twist on life as a lavishly-loved daughter of God.
