Meet Julia.

Julia is an ordained pastor in the Free Methodist Church of Southern California. She lives in Rhode Island and works at an Episcopal Church in Concord, Massachusetts. Julia is a first-generation college graduate with a BA in Religion from Westmont College. In 2018 she graduated from Duke Divinity School. After her growing up years, as soon as she possibly could, she moved from her hometown of Kailua, Hawaii to Santa Barbara California for school at Westmont College.

Owing to a keen personal understanding of Christ’s healing in the midst of painful emotional and psychological trauma, Julia leads with an eye toward intersectionality and popular culture.

It has not been an easy road, but she is thankful to be part of a healthy marriage, a vibrant Church tradition, and to share the healing of Christ with others through her writing, preaching, teaching, and beyond. She considers it her life’s purpose to depend on God in our current social context, always finding Jesus’ voice at the intersection of faith and culture.
