      <image:title>ARISE and SHINE Blog - Never the Same - About Kayla</image:title>
      <image:caption>My name is Kayla Nordlum and I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon but just recently moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where the sun really never stops shining! My story might be similar to yours, for years life felt empty, confusing and disappointing. Unmet expectations left me stuck and hopeless. I struggled to trust that God had good plans for my future because I constantly replayed the mess I made of my past. BUT GOD. Through a personal relationship with Jesus I realized it was never about what I did, but everything about what He would do through me. I decided to fully surrender to the Lord in May of 2020. Through my act of obedience, I watched toxic relationship cycles end and negative mindsets slowly transform. God finally had my FULL heart and life was now EXCITING. I had vision, passion and purpose that I could not come up with on my own. In August of 2020, I started a business called Worthy Women Co. (@worthywomenco). A space to remind women to never settle in life, love, or faith + it’s been so amazing to see what God has done and what he is doing with this sweet little community, PLUS I create fun merch, and who doesn’t love that?! Writing has always been healing for me, I have journaled almost daily since I was young, but I never felt qualified to write for others (doesn’t God always use those people?) In January of 2021, I got serious about writing my first book (“The One That God Away”) and it’s almost ready to be released! God is so faithful and kind, He really has the best redemptive stories! Now more than ever I know that with God THERE IS MORE + I’m super passionate about helping women find the MORE in their stories too. XO Kayla (@kaylanordlum)</image:caption>

      <image:title>ARISE and SHINE Blog - Stop Breaking Your Own Heart - About Kayla</image:title>
      <image:caption>My name is Kayla Nordlum and I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon but just recently moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where the sun really never stops shining! My story might be similar to yours, for years life felt empty, confusing and disappointing. Unmet expectations left me stuck and hopeless. I struggled to trust that God had good plans for my future because I constantly replayed the mess I made of my past. BUT GOD. Through a personal relationship with Jesus I realized it was never about what I did, but everything about what He would do through me. I decided to fully surrender to the Lord in May of 2020. Through my act of obedience, I watched toxic relationship cycles end and negative mindsets slowly transform. God finally had my FULL heart and life was now EXCITING. I had vision, passion and purpose that I could not come up with on my own. In August of 2020, I started a business called Worthy Women Co. (@worthywomenco). A space to remind women to never settle in life, love, or faith + it’s been so amazing to see what God has done and what he is doing with this sweet little community, PLUS I create fun merch, and who doesn’t love that?! Writing has always been healing for me, I have journaled almost daily since I was young, but I never felt qualified to write for others (doesn’t God always use those people?) In January of 2021, I got serious about writing my first book (“The One That God Away”) and it’s almost ready to be released! God is so faithful and kind, He really has the best redemptive stories! Now more than ever I know that with God THERE IS MORE + I’m super passionate about helping women find the MORE in their stories too. XO Kayla (@kaylanordlum)</image:caption>

      <image:title>ARISE and SHINE Blog - Restored by Him - About Tiffany Tiffany is a born and raised native of Arizona, and ARISE regular . She is an HR professional in the Homebuilding industry for the last 20 years. My childhood smells include sawdust and lacquer thinner so I always gravitated toward all things building! I’m a widow to my dear late husband who cherished me for the 18 years we had together. I serve on our Church Board as a Trustee in Peoria where our Mission is to live like Jesus, love like Jesus and share His message everywhere we go. I’ve climbed the Great Wall of China, my side hustle is a florist and if I were famous for something it would be for my amazing Chicken Pot Pie. Being outside enjoying nature (especially in the rain) might just be my favorite place to be! God has walked us through the most painful season of life after losing my husband in 2019 and I could not be more grateful for all He has done and continues to do as we trust in Him!</image:title>

      <image:title>ARISE and SHINE Blog - Cultivate Spiritual Disciplines - About Tiffany Tiffany is a born and raised native of Arizona, and ARISE regular . She is an HR professional in the Homebuilding industry for the last 20 years. My childhood smells include sawdust and lacquer thinner so I always gravitated toward all things building! I’m a widow to my dear late husband who cherished me for the 18 years we had together. I serve on our Church Board as a Trustee in Peoria where our Mission is to live like Jesus, love like Jesus and share His message everywhere we go. I’ve climbed the Great Wall of China, my side hustle is a florist and if I were famous for something it would be for my amazing Chicken Pot Pie. Being outside enjoying nature (especially in the rain) might just be my favorite place to be! God has walked us through the most painful season of life after losing my husband in 2019 and I could not be more grateful for all He has done and continues to do as we trust in Him!</image:title>

      <image:title>ARISE and SHINE Blog - It’s Time to Soar - About Kayla</image:title>
      <image:caption>My name is Kayla Nordlum and I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon but just recently moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where the sun really never stops shining! My story might be similar to yours, for years life felt empty, confusing and disappointing. Unmet expectations left me stuck and hopeless. I struggled to trust that God had good plans for my future because I constantly replayed the mess I made of my past. BUT GOD. Through a personal relationship with Jesus I realized it was never about what I did, but everything about what He would do through me. I decided to fully surrender to the Lord in May of 2020. Through my act of obedience, I watched toxic relationship cycles end and negative mindsets slowly transform. God finally had my FULL heart and life was now EXCITING. I had vision, passion and purpose that I could not come up with on my own. In August of 2020, I started a business called Worthy Women Co. (@worthywomenco). A space to remind women to never settle in life, love, or faith + it’s been so amazing to see what God has done and what he is doing with this sweet little community, PLUS I create fun merch, and who doesn’t love that?! Writing has always been healing for me, I have journaled almost daily since I was young, but I never felt qualified to write for others (doesn’t God always use those people?) In January of 2021, I got serious about writing my first book (“The One That God Away”) and it’s almost ready to be released! God is so faithful and kind, He really has the best redemptive stories! Now more than ever I know that with God THERE IS MORE + I’m super passionate about helping women find the MORE in their stories too. XO Kayla (@kaylanordlum)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Anyone who knows Onjalai Brown probably heard her laugh or saw her smile first. She embodies the joy of the Lord, is a yielded-vessel for God’s glory, an exhorter of anyone she encounters, and a godly unifier – seeking to love and make space for all image bearers of Christ. God has called her to teach, lead, and disciple women back to His heart. She recently launched Awaken Ministries, which exists to encourage women to fulfill their purpose through the power of prayer, insight into scripture, and the transformative influence of the Holy Spirit. She envisions a vast community of AWAKENED women arising and operating in their anointing to boldly proclaim the truth of the Gospel and intentionally seeking ways to radically love those around them.</image:caption>

      <image:title>ARISE and SHINE Blog - Flipping Tables - About Kayla</image:title>
      <image:caption>My name is Kayla Nordlum and I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon but just recently moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where the sun really never stops shining! My story might be similar to yours, for years life felt empty, confusing and disappointing. Unmet expectations left me stuck and hopeless. I struggled to trust that God had good plans for my future because I constantly replayed the mess I made of my past. BUT GOD. Through a personal relationship with Jesus I realized it was never about what I did, but everything about what He would do through me. I decided to fully surrender to the Lord in May of 2020. Through my act of obedience, I watched toxic relationship cycles end and negative mindsets slowly transform. God finally had my FULL heart and life was now EXCITING. I had vision, passion and purpose that I could not come up with on my own. In August of 2020, I started a business called Worthy Women Co. (@worthywomenco). A space to remind women to never settle in life, love, or faith + it’s been so amazing to see what God has done and what he is doing with this sweet little community, PLUS I create fun merch, and who doesn’t love that?! Writing has always been healing for me, I have journaled almost daily since I was young, but I never felt qualified to write for others (doesn’t God always use those people?) In January of 2021, I got serious about writing my first book (“The One That God Away”) and it’s almost ready to be released! God is so faithful and kind, He really has the best redemptive stories! Now more than ever I know that with God THERE IS MORE + I’m super passionate about helping women find the MORE in their stories too. XO Kayla (@kaylanordlum)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Women's ministry is my heartbeat. I have been the Director of Women's ministry at Renovation Church for 8 years and have been on staff for over 11 years. God led me to start Arise PHX in the Spring of 2018. Although we had no idea what we were getting into, God has sustained this ministry and brought more people along for the journey! I'm a speaker, preacher and adventurist. I love to travel in general, but add on speaking at camps, conferences and schools, and I am overjoyed! But mostly, my heart is for the individual to see that they are made uniquely for a specific purpose in this generation. Birthday: November 6th Favorite Color: RED Favorite Verse: Proverbs 4:23 -- "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life." Favorite Place to Eat: Cibo in Downtown Phoenix - Best GF Pizza you can find! Favorite Season: Fall Favorite Vacation Spot: Sedona is my close-by spot. If I could choose, I'd go to Italy every time though! Coffee or Tea? Extra hot honey oat milk latte with cinnamon, pretty please! Morning person or Night owl? I'm a late-afternoon person. I'm going to get my best work in from 3-7pm. Beach or Mountains?

So don't be surprised when I come in for the hug every single time!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A journalist and marketer-turned-ministry leader, I have been writing since my advanced composition teacher told me in high school that I broke too many rules. I've worked in journalism, corporate marketing, and vocational ministry. Oh, and there was that one job at Arby's. Now an author, speaker, and lay counselor, I love helping women live lighter. My friends call me a baggage handler! I don't care what people call me if I help them set down bags that God never asked them to carry. I'm a regular contributor to Guideposts and I'm the resident writer on difficult family dynamics for The Joyful Life. I live in Mesa with my husband Greg and my son Morgan, who is the best story I've ever written. Birthday: March 2nd Favorite Color: Blue, but none of that splashing green in there and calling it good. Give it to me in azure or midnight, please Favorite Verse: Jeremiah 12:5 (changed my life) Favorite Place to Eat: Wherever tacos and friends meet Favorite Season: Season? Does Phoenix have seasons? Favorite Vacation Spot: New York City and Maui — confusing, I know Coffee or Tea? Coffee, and I won't be taking questions Morning person or Night owl? I write until 2 or 3 a.m., so I guess technically, both Beach or Mountains? Beach, but I don't love sand in my toes. Weird. Fun Personality Fact: I'm a collision of opposite traits—I got straight A's but I'm a class clown. I'm a home body who loves to travel. I spend hours alone writing, but I love people. (If you're new here and don't know anyone, find me. We'll be friends, I just know it.)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I currently serve as an associate pastor at my church, Scottsdale Worship Center. I am working on my Masters in Ministry at Phoenix Seminary. I am passionate about missions. One of my favorite moments of a missions trip is when we gather in a service for worship. I love how worship can be sung in a language you don't know, yet can be so unifying. It is a foreshadowing of what heaven will be like. Heaven--filled with different people of different cultures, all worshiping the one true God. I can't wait! Birthday: November 21st Favorite Color: I need more information to answer this question. Like for example if it is coffee than black, wall paint grey, new sweater black, birthday presents always pink! Favorite Verse: Romans 12 and all of James  Favorite Place to Eat: My sister-in-laws house. Good food and baby snuggles from my nieces and nephew are always a win. Favorite Season: Fall!! Maybe its cause fall is my birthday season maybe it is pumpkin spice candles either way it is and will always be my favorite season. Favorite Vacation Spot: On the water. Either a beach, or on the lake, or creek somewhere up north. Coffee or Tea? Coffee Morning person or Night owl? Morning person Rollercoasters: Love or Hate? Hate! I get so motion sick. But I will take one for the team when my friends, family or students want to go. Fun Personality Fact: Enneagram 6! Top Love Languages are Acts of Service and gifts. So pretty much bring me coffee is my love language.</image:caption>

She recently launched Awaken Ministries, which exists to encourage women to fulfill their purpose through the power of prayer, insight into scripture, and the transformative influence of the Holy Spirit. She envisions a vast community of AWAKENED women arising and operating in their anointing to boldly proclaim the truth of the Gospel and intentionally seeking ways to radically love those around them.</image:caption>
