pastor's wife + speaker + author + podcast host
I want my life to matter for something. When I sat in my room in 1990 and said, “Lord, my life is Yours. Use it however you choose,” I had no idea what that journey would look like. It’s been a wild ride .
I’ve done it all these past few decades from working at an amusement park, to being a bank teller and then a work-at-home mom. I worked at a Quick Lube shop, served middle school students their lunch, and now pastor a church in Warren, Ohio alongside my husband. There has been one constant through every season, and that is God.
My faith, prayer, and an intimate walk with God have held me steady in every season, and it is my passion to help others walk intimately with Him as well.
I’d love to tell you more and help your church, conference or group.

One of my passions is prayer. It’s my desire to see a prayer force raised up across this globe who can pray in the plans of God and stop the plans of the enemy.
You may be thinking, “Toni! I don’t even know how to pray!” Well, that’s okay. I’ve got you covered.
When you subscribe to our mailing list, I will send you a link to download this free 28-day prayer journal, Love the Lost. You can use it as an onramp to your prayer journey. Each day has a focus scripture, a short devotional, and a prayer you can pray for yourself and your lost friends and family members.
What people are saying about Love the Lost
Welcome to Prayer School
A minister once said, “It seems God can do nothing on this earth unless someone asks Him. Why that is I do not know.” That is an accurate statement and these videos explain why we need to pray.I pray these teachings on prayer will encourage, inspire and add fire to your prayer life.
podcast
Before I ever wrote, I spoke. I have faced many trials and dark seasons in life. Some looked beyond hopeless. Instead of giving in to despair, I found hope and strength to keep moving forward in faith, prayer, and the Word of God.
I pray these messages born through the seasons and trials of life cause hope to rise up and draw you close to the Father where you’ll find healing, life, grace and joy, and that they bring you into a closer walk with God.
