"Jodi has been a Godsend. We truly believe that God placed her in our lives at just the right time to help us grow and change as parents. The biggest thing she did was constantly point us back to Jesus and truth. Our daughter is precious and beautiful and a child of God. We had lost sight of these things. We needed our hearts changed to help us help her." -Parent
Who I am?
I grew up in the small town of Coleman, Wisconsin. A good day for me is spent on the water in the warmth of a summer day; sitting near it, floating on it, or playing in it all brings me joy. I love reading a good book or sketching in my drawing pad, beachside, or in my room in my chair with the sun shining through the window.
Though it has taken a deep intimate season with the Lord in my identity, I am grateful for the truth instilled in me for who I am as a daughter of the king. After many years of silence, I have found my voice as a creative. You can learn more about my journey on my website at The Art of Jodi Lynn and find my books on Amazon. For as long as I can remember creating, though it looked different in each season, and wanting to travel have been a part of the intimate desire of my life journey. I am excited to see where God will take me with my gifting to create artwork and love on people at the same time.
I have an Associate degree from NWTC in Green Bay. I am a TBRI ® Practitioner with Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development & Making Sense of Your Worth/Anchored Facilitator with Halo Project in Oklahoma City. I am a certified Life Coach and I am very honored to share everything I have learned being married, as a Mom to 3 beautiful children, Grama to 2 amazing boys, and working in youth ministry. I desire to help families grow stronger together and to live life with purpose.
I have laughed, cried, struggled, and experienced joy, even when it seemed God was silent. Through it all, I have found peace and intimacy with Him in my identity as a daughter of King Jesus. With confidence, I can say that God has been faithful to me and my story. I am passionate about walking with youth and families to find their identity so they can live their purpose.

As a mom and adoptive mom, I understand what it is to feel completely ill-equipped in my capacity to parent. My husband and I decided to provide a child who was waiting for a forever family a forever home. We decided once we met that child we would not turn back, no matter what we would be faced with.
In that journey, I have learned that LOVE is enough. My love was what he needed, but that LOVE needed to be in the way he needed it to feel safe and so he could trust. It's in that place of feeling confused and lost, I began searching for help. It is in that place that God brought me to a place of understanding that I first needed to be free from my story in order to be what the mom that my sweet little boy needed. It is in that place that The Holy Spirit spoke that he gave me "the least of these" to raise. It is in that shift God brought TBRI® , Making Sense of Your Worth, and Anchored. He made it very evident to me that I needed to take everything that I have learned and teach and walk with families to help them find healing, hope and walking in their identity in Christ.
