UncommonTEEN is a ministry especially for Christian teen girls. My heart is to help you really see who it is that God created you to be.
God created you so beautifully and He sees you as valuable. In a world that tells us that we are worthless and that we don’t have a voice, it’s so important for us to truly understand that that’s a lie from the enemy and that God says something completely different about you.
In UncommonTEEN, we want to see you overcome insecurities that are holding you back. We want to help you discover how to make true friends while avoiding toxic relationships. We want to walk you through the challenges that you are facing in a very practical way.
Also in UncommonTEEN, we want to help you begin to walk in your God-give purpose. God created you for a specific purpose and we want to help you discover what that purpose is.
So that is what UncommonTEEN is. You may be wondering, why the name UncommonTEEN.
The name UncommonTEEN comes from Acts 4:13. This is actually one of my favorite verses in the entire Bible. It says in the Amplified Classic version (or AMPC), “Now when they saw the boldness and unfettered eloquence of Peter and John and perceived that they were unlearned and untrained in the schools [common men with no educational advantages], they marveled; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus."
With Peter and John, they were just common men who spent time with Jesus. And because they did, Jesus was able to transform them from common to uncommon. The same thing is true with us. When we spend time with God on a daily basis, growing in our relationship with Him, we too, become uncommon.
I saw this happen firsthand in my life. I was one of those girls who was okay at lot of things, but never really great at anything. I walked through life feeling like there wasn’t anything really special about me. I was shy as I talked about earlier. I didn’t have a lot of friends. I never really felt like there was a purpose for my life. Haha…but I was wrong!
To share with you a little about me, I didn’t become a Christian until I was a senior in high school. Since I didn’t have anything planned the summer before I went off to college, I chose to work at a summer camp…as a cook! Not as a worship leader or a camp counselor, but a cook! However, it was during that summer that God spoke to my heart so strongly and told me what I was going to be doing for the rest of my life.
So earlier I shared that I didn’t become a Christian until my senior year of high school. I didn’t grow up in a Christian family. There was a lot of abuse and drugs in my home. It was not a functional home by any means.
Fast forward back to the summer camp. One night, I was walking around campus and saw a group of girls gathered under a tree and I felt God tugging at my heart to go talk to them. As I was talking to them, I r
