Suzie Lind serves as the Formation Pastor with Journey Church, an inter-denominational community in Brentwood, Tennessee. She accidentally stepped into church ministry in 2002 when she was looking for a part-time job that would allow her to stay home with her kids. It was then that she recognized her deep desire to help the Church become what it was always meant to be - a collection of broken people meant to bring hope and joy to a wounded world. She spends her time guiding people through their spiritual formation and developing leaders. Her greatest joy is seeing people's love for Jesus fuel their daily rhythms of life.
