Dr Kris Sargent
Believer Human Mom Teacher
My hot mess turned into my message...
- Lifelong believer, I attended Bible Study Fellowship, taught Spiritual Gifts, small group leader (women's and HS). And I began to speak for churches in the early 2000's.
- Kids came along, and life got complicated. I felt driven to maintain my new Christian image. I did all the outside things for accolades, like full time practice, marriage, church, committees, more degrees.
- But, inside, I felt like a fraud. Then the divorce in 2012. I was an exhausted mama, with friend drama and church trauma.
MY WAY!
- I decided to learn things the hard way. I messed up in relationships, finances, and parenting. I chased self worth with accomplishment and performance.
- Then, in August of 2019, the Global Leadership Summit cracked open my stubborn prideful heart. I promised Him I would work for Him.
- In May of 2020, after a lot of prayer and work, I had a HUGE breakthrough. The Cross and the Holy Spirit pulled me back together and my inside and outside were all the same person.
NOW...
- I'm no longer Jonah. I bring health to His people, for Him, from a unique perspective. It's my great joy to help women honor and serve God by getting and staying healthy on all fronts.
- Currently, I host the Spark Faith Podcast on YouTube, Apple, Spotify and others. I'm almost done writing Cultivating a Mind, Soul and Body for God. I offer Keynote and Workshops for women online and in person, all while I take care of my 92 year old mom with dementia, my 19 year old daughter and 17 year old son and run my One-on-One and Group Coaching Programs.
