About
Jesus People Places is founded on the idea of finding freedom through embracing the journey and adventure of a Spirit led life. We aim to help women, specifically in their 20s experience community that shows them the love of Jesus everyday. This ministry is for christians and non-christians alike to admit their need and find their people. We are not meant to do this life alone and we believe the BEST way to experience the adventure of life is by loving one another as a sister + friend.
Sailboat. Spirit led.
Sailboats symbolize journey and adventure. They also are associated with being carried along by the “breath of life,” as its primary form of momentum is gained through the wind in its sails.
Jesus People Places is derived on two principles from this.
First.
We cannot do life alone. Life is a journey and far more of an exciting adventure if we chose to do life alongside others. Although you can sail a sailboat alone we are in this for the long haul. In order be most successful on a long journey, one suggests at least four crew members to sail a sailboat. We aim to take the same concept into everyday life.
Second.
Like a sailboat is led freely by the wind, so we are led freely by the Spirit. Nobody says that a sailboat is held in bondage because it is controlled by the wind, no people say they are free of constraint. Our lives are the same way when they are led by the Holy Spirit.
This is how we experience freedom.

Body, Soul, Spirit
Focusing on the body, soul, and spirit is crucial to me because it allows for a complete approach to overall well-being and personal growth.
Taking care of my body through regular exercise, nourishing foods, and sufficient rest is essential for my energy levels and overall health. I believe that a strong and healthy body serves as the foundation for a vibrant and fulfilling life.
For me, prioritizing the soul means finding fulfillment through meaningful connections within my community, living with purpose, and dedicating time to hobbies that bring me joy and fulfillment. I believe that nurturing these aspects of my life is essential for maintaining emotional well-being and a sense of inner harmony.
Being actively engaged in community allows us to build strong and supportive relationships, fostering a sense of belonging and connection that uplifts my spirit and enriches my life. Contributing to the well-being of others and making a positive impact in my community gives me a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
Additionally, I find that pursuing hobbies and activities that I am passionate about brings a sense of happiness and satisfaction, allowing me to express myself creatively and unwind from the demands of everyday life. These activities serve as a form of self-care and contribute to my overall sense of well-being and happiness.
Tending to my spirit involves exploring who God is on a daily basis. By spending time in scripture and in prayer is the greatest tool I have in my tool box. It is what ties everything together for me, it is why I strive to make the rest of these things such a priority. Knowing Jesus provides a joy that is without an earthly explanation.
By addressing the needs of my body, soul, and spirit, I strive to achieve a FULL life. We are three part human beings and when we learn to prioritize each of these we unlock such a special way of living. This integrated approach guides me in living a fulfilling and meaningful life that aligns with my values and beliefs.
