"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 perfect day for me is spent by the water on a warm summer afternoon—whether sitting near it, floating on it, or playing in it, it always brings me joy. I enjoy reading a good book, drawing, or painting. I love spending time either at the beach or in my favorite chair at home with the sunlight streaming through the window.
After a deep and personal journey with the Lord, I am grateful for the truth of being able to claim my identity as a daughter of the King. After years of silence, I’ve rediscovered my voice as a creative. You can learn more about my journey on my website, The Art of Jodi Lynn, and find my books on Amazon. Creativity and a love for travel have been lifelong passions for me. I’m excited to see where God will lead me as I use my gifts to create art and love others.
I hold an Associate degree from NWTC in Green Bay. I am a TBRI® Practitioner with the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development and a Making Sense of Your Worth/Anchored Facilitator with the Halo Project in Oklahoma City. I’ve also completed the Adult Attachment Interview Institute and am a certified Life Coach. I feel honored to share what I’ve learned through my experiences as a wife, mom to three wonderful children, grandma to two amazing boys, youth ministry worker, self-employed professional, and operating a non-profit.
My heart’s desire is to help families grow stronger together, find connection and healing and identity in Christ.

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.
