Leaders of Faith, rise.
Prepare the Next.

My Story

​I’m Joycelyn — a Spiritual Formation Minister, bible teacher, leadership coach and spiritual director, devoted to helping the Body of Christ move from performance to presence, and from information to transformation.
 

For years, I served faithfully — teaching, leading, and pouring into others. But behind the platform was a personal journey through wilderness, silence, and the refining fire of God. I encountered the Divine Forming Mystery not outside the Church, but within it — in the tension between calling and captivity.
 

And yet… God met me there.
He didn’t let the fire consume me — He used it to ignite me.
 

What I Carry
 

I carry wisdom shaped by loss, refined through injustice, and matured in silence.
I walk with the Spirit as He forms leaders from the inside out — guiding pastors, prophets, and everyday believers to discern God’s voice in the ordinary and reclaim authenticity in ministry.

​

My desire is to help awaken every disciple and activate every gift — shifting the Church from 20/80 to 100/100, where every believer is fully engaged and every calling is fully alive.

Through the Ignite the Church Initiative, I also help churches and leaders design disciple making processes that are future-ready — rooted in presence, formation, and sustainability for the generations to come.
 

Through The Joycelyn Ignites Podcast, Ignite the Church Initiative, and Spiritual Formation Groups, I create spaces where leaders can:
 

• Awaken to God’s presence

• Activate their missional imagination

• Discern with spiritual clarity

• Lead with transparency, hospitality, integrity and empathy

• Strengthen their leadership reflexes through formation and practice
   

When I’m Not in Ministry Mode
 

I love quiet mornings, and the rhythm of reflection.
You’ll often find me reading, journaling, or creating — listening for the subtle movements of the Spirit. I cherish time with my husband and grandchildren, who remind me of the simplicity and wonder of faith. Beauty restores me. Stillness centers me. Creativity breathes life into me.
 

Who I Serve
 

I serve the leader who loves the Body of Christ but refuses to be lost in it.
The pastor who’s weary of performance but still burning for purpose.
The believer who’s ready to grow deeper — not busier.
The Church that’s hungry to be whole — not just successful.

If that’s you, you’re not alone.
You’re not too much, and you’re not too late.
You’ve found a brave space — a place where healing, formation, and holiness dwell together.
 

What’s Next
 

My mission is simple:
To prepare a Church where Generation Alpha is equipped to lead with integrity, empathy, and missional imagination. Together, we’re awakening every disciple, activating every gift, and igniting a Church that embodies Christ wherever it goes.
