I believe that the best way to help someone grow is to share the real-life lessons I’ve gathered along the way. For me, life is all about the people you love and the things that keep you inspired. My foundation starts at home with my wife, Cindy—we’ve been side-by-side for 20 years—and our three daughters. They are my "why," and they’ve taught me more about patience, heart, and commitment than any textbook ever could. As a mentor, I’m less about "corporate ladders" and more about building a life that feels complete. I’m a big believer in staying curious—whether that’s diving into a DIY project, geeked out over movie history, or hunting down a unique pop culture find. I’m here to be a friendly ear and a steady guide for someone who wants to balance their goals with a genuine love for family and personal passions. What I bring to the table: • A "Family First" Perspective: Having a 20-year marriage and three kids has taught me how to stay grounded and keep my priorities straight. • A Hands-On Heart: I love the "how-to" side of life. Whether it's fixing something around the house or figuring out a life challenge, I’m all about finding a way to make things work. • Enthusiasm for the Fun Stuff: I truly believe that our hobbies—like collecting or cinema—keep us young and creative. I’ll always encourage you to make time for what makes you happy. • Steady Support: I’ve learned that the most important thing you can offer someone is consistency. I’m here to be a reliable person in your corner.

I see mentorship as a process of building a friendship that encourages, challenges, and helps move each of us toward a goal. It may take the form of casual conversations, encouragement and accountability, in-depth Bible study, or even deep introspection and moving in a new direction. My approach is to meet with an interested person over coffee to get to know each other, discuss possible next steps, and to see if we are a good match. I’m an engineer by training and have played golf and soccer most of my life. I have one adult son and I’ve been married for 28 years. If you would like to discuss meetings together, then drop me a line. FreedUp financial stewardship coaching and mentorship.

My hope and prayer is to help support, coach, and encourage through transparency and real life Biblical principals. It’s also an honor to be a part someone’s journey and be able to learn from them as well.

I am a follower of Jesus, a wife, and a mom to 2 beautiful daughters. I fought through Post-Partum Depression twice, Post-Partum Anxiety once, I currently work part-time outside the home while trying to rebuild my marriage after infidelity. I would be honored to be apart of your faith journey and learn more about what it means to be a Disciple of Jesus alongside you!

I have been engaged in full time ministry for 25 years. God worked a miracle in healing my marriage and I have a 21yr old daughter that is a product of God's intervention into my marriage. My wife and I have now been married for 37yrs and also have a 35yr old son and two teenage step-grandchildren that are a blessing that came when our son met our wonderful daughter-in-law. My ministry strengths align most in the area of pastoral care during crisis. I am an encourager and understand the value of being able to quietly listen and be present while providing comfort and support. My hope for mentoring would be to use my life experience and testimony as a living example and encouragement to anyone as they grow in their faith and work through the challenges marriage, parenting, and surviving in the workplace can present.

I grew up in a small town, and for the past 43 years, I’ve been married to the same incredible woman—also from that same town. I’m a technologist by trade, a road trip enthusiast at heart, and I host a podcast as a creative outlet. I’m passionate about auto racing, especially open-wheel series, and I find deep joy in hearing people’s stories and encouraging them along the way. Looking back, I wish I’d had a mentor when I was younger. That’s part of what led me to join a group earlier this year that meets every Thursday at 6:30 AM. It’s been a truly meaningful experience. As part of our journey, I was asked to write a personal vision statement. Here’s what I came up with: I envision a world where every life I touch is uplifted, strengthened, and inspired. Through reliability, integrity, and trust, I will create meaningful connections that foster peace, growth, and innovation. Guided by perseverance, curiosity, and generosity, I will embrace challenges and new ideas with confidence, always striving to make a difference. With empathy, kindness, and humor, I will bring joy and understanding to every interaction—ensuring that my presence leaves the world better than I found it.

I've been married for 16 years, have 4 kids (some with extra medical needs), and have spent the last ten diving deep into my own discipleship and growth. I'm interested in helping men heal and grow/work through marriage issues on the brink of divorce, recovery from sexual abuse, and learning to lead your family spiritual and rhythmically.

I’ve been following Jesus since my teenage years and I’m here to listen and encourage by sharing my personal experiences. I’ve been married for 27 years and have two adult children (25 & 22). We enjoy traveling, seeing music, and attending sporting events together. My wife is originally from Cincinnati, but I’m a transplant via job transfer. I’ve learned how to start over and build community where I live.

I am growing wiser in my walk with Jesus and want to share my joy with You , Single mom , nurse , and former flight attendant .I am living my life to the fullest and can just be a great listener too. , I am always up for an adventure and a prayer warrior for you !!

Hey there! Here is some basic info by about me… I have been married for 12 years and have 3 kids: 4, 7, and 9. I have attended crossroads for over 15 years and been involved in various ways along with attending a couple of man camps. I have been fortunate to have been mentored/discipled and from that opportunity I have experienced spiritual and emotional growth and wisdom. I still continue to live and learn and pursue (imperfectly) a relationship with God through my daily life. Through a mentor relationship I hope sharing my life experiences and wisdom is helpful, but most importantly hope to encourage a stronger relationship and closeness with God. I don’t see mentoring as always being a coffee shop activity (although happy to do that sometimes too) or talking face to face. I have a variety of interests: casual sports fan, hiking/camping, drinking beer/bourbon, baking bread, home repair, disc golf. Happy to make any of these activities or others a part of a remote or in-person mentor relationship.

I'm excited to connect with you. I firmly believe we grow stronger together—just as iron sharpens iron. I’m passionate about supporting others and see real power in having a trusted mentor or friend to celebrate the highs and process the lows together. I’ve found that strong men and women of God surround themselves with community. I’m looking forward to connecting and being part of that community with you.

I started going to Crossroads by accident. I wasn't a believer. I didn't want to be a believer. But the more I wrestled with questions about who Jesus was, the more I couldn't look away. That was 20 years ago. Now I strive to look a little more like Jesus each day, whether it's leading my family, being a believer in the workforce, or simply learning to choose Him when I don't feel like it. The right fit would be for someone looking to take their faith deeper in their lives. Even if it's simply just trying to figure out how to start.

Hi, I’m Gary, and I’m honored you're considering me as a potential mentor on your faith journey. I’m a husband of 24 years, a father of four, a veteran educator, and a health and wellness coach—but more importantly, I’m someone who’s been deeply transformed by God’s grace. My passion is helping people grow into the person God created them to be—body, mind, and spirit. I’ve walked through seasons of doubt, struggle, renewal, and healing, and I believe God uses every chapter of our story for His glory. As a teacher, I’ve spent over 20 years pouring into the lives of young people with authenticity, encouragement, and humor. Now, I feel called to do the same in a deeper way through mentoring—offering a safe space, a listening ear, and real conversations about faith, identity, and purpose. If you’re looking for someone who’s not perfect, but who shows up with empathy, accountability, and a genuine heart for God, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. My hope is that through this journey, you’ll grow closer to Jesus, gain clarity in your calling, and step more confidently into the life He’s inviting you to live.

Mentoring goes both ways. Both parties should grow through the conversations.

I was born and raised in Cincinnati, got married to the love of my life in 2014, and we've been blessed with 3 sons that keep our hands full. When time allows, I enjoy slowly chipping away at the renovations on my house that was built in 1890. It's been 14 years since I stopped touring, but I still love playing drums and making music. My entire career post-touring has been dedicated to building and creating immersive live production experiences that blow people away and I've been doing that in ministry full time for the past decade. Over the years I have discipled dozens of young men into leaders, husbands, and fathers and it has been one of the greatest joys of my life!

I serve as the Community and Care Director at Crossroads Church West Side, where I lead spiritual formation, care, prayer, and community-building efforts for adults and volunteers. I’m passionate about helping people encounter Jesus through meaningful conversations, intentional community, and everyday practices that form us over time. With a Master’s degree in Christian Leadership from Dallas Theological Seminary, I love creating spaces where people feel known, challenged, cared for, and invited into deeper transformation.

I’m a 68-year-old retired mother of two and proud grandmother of three, still living life with energy and purpose. For 15 years, I had the privilege of being a foster mom to teenage girls—a role that shaped my heart for mentoring and walking alongside others. I enjoy staying active through walking, biking, reading, creating ceramics, and playing board games. Though I’m retired, I currently drive for Uber, and I’m always looking for ways to stay connected and give back. I’m excited to be part of the Crossroads mentorship program and to continue investing in others the way God has invested in me.

Happy to connect with individuals who want mentorship with someone who's "been there". With four children who are between the ages of 12-22, I feel like I've seen and survived a few things in parenthood. As a former middle school and high school principal, I have also had the opportunity to work with families as they have navigated those tumultuous years. I hope to share my love of God and provide encouragement for folks on their journey.

Hi! I'm a single, light hearted, God loving, animal loving, people loving, friend you didn't know you had in Indiana! I have grown tremendously in my faith, trust, and knowledge, of Christ and have a passion for helping others do the same. I'm hoping to be able to help with questions, equip others to make the best life choices for themselves, provide guidance, and gain some friends. My friends would describe me as caring, goofy, and reliable. So, if that's for you look no further. Here I am!

Cincinnati east side native that prefers beer to bourbon (but I am learning). Enjoys dad jokes and sports convo. Married for 27 years with four kids. Yes, a Gen Xer, but have developed a sense of empathy. I have had the opportunity to train and mentor trainees in my field, hoping I can be a benefit to someone in the church trying to grow toward Jesus.

I'm passionate about assisting women who want to learn more about God. I have learned a lot during my 23+ years of walking with the Lord, but I am no expert. I would love to explore your questions together. We can discover, share and grow to 'get through this thing called life'. (yes, I am a Prince fan)

I have a passion for helping young women and mothers - especially ones in difficult circumstances. I have personal experience with domestic violence, homelessness, divorce, unplanned pregnancy, mental health and medical struggles. Through it all, God has been a cornerstone of my life as I have learned to find my voice and forge my own path. I'm now a thriving 38 year old wife and mother of three (6, 9, & 13). My hobbies include social dancing, gardening, pottery, and woodworking - I like to create things. I have a large network of crisis resources, can do career and finance counseling, or I'm completely onboard with just making new friends. I can't wait to hear from you.

I am a mom living on the East Side of Cincinnati. I enjoy helping women navigate their careers, especially after becoming moms. I've worked both in-person and from home, full-time and part-time, and I've been in the ministry, self-employed, and corporate worlds. My background is in personal finance, and I am on staff part-time at Crossroads. I help run the FreedUp program and other stewardship ministry projects. I love helping everyday people feel more empowered with their own finances.

I've been a Christ follower for over 4 decades now, and it's always an adventure! Following him means sticking with him through good times and hard times; exciting times and boring times; confident times and uncertain times. We all need some encouragement along the way, and I'd love to be the one to provide that! I got married at 42, so I know what it's like to be single and to be married. My husband and I spend our time salsa dancing and getting bossed around by our Great Pyrenees. I love to travel, and I'm just 4 states away from visiting all 50. I've been around Crossroads since 2005, and I'd love to get to know you!

I love family, thrive in adventure, and chase growth in all areas of life. I have been married for 22 years, have a 20-year-old son, and have spent my life searching for my unique purpose. Although I have been a Christian for as long as I can remember, fueled by religion and church hurt, I didn't come into a relationship with Jesus until a few years ago. Knowing how tenacious and self-reliant I was, God had to stop me in my tracks and get my attention in a big way. I went from being a top-performing corporate leader with an active life to being unable to walk unassisted and confined to my couch. Jesus has spent the last three years spiritually, physically, and emotionally healing me a layer at a time. I wholeheartedly believe that God walked (still walking) me through this excruciatingly painful season so that I would be equipped to walk alongside others going through life's challenges. I am deeply passionate about being there for those who don't feel seen, heard, valued, and/or loved and to help them find their value and purpose!

I was successful in business but retired to have more time to give back. Most of my days are volunteering at City Gospel Mission. I co-started a mens group in Mt Adams called Bible & Bourbon that over 100 men have participated in and I mentor and get mentored there every week. I find mentoring a two way street and more the start of a friendship to help someone walk through seasons in their life. I do not think I am gifted or special at this - but I listen without judging and see if talking and will help. I am very flexible with time - but suggest I buy lunch and see how it might work out.

I grew up and have lived my whole life in the midwest (Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and, now, Michigan). I've been a Christ follower since my mid-20s. I've been married for 33 years and have three boys (26, 28, 32). I have been retired for about 18 months. After spending the first 12 months learning to rest and enjoying life, I've started a part time consulting business focused on finding meaning and purpose and sharing my career and life experiences. I love spending time with family, building community wherever we are, sports (playing and watching), reading and traveling with Janis. More so, I'm passionate about using my own experiences (good and bad) to build into others. I have experience mentoring young marrieds, young marrieds expecting their first child, coworkers, friends (couples and individuals) . In every case, I've found that I get just as much or more than I can give.

I have been married for 45 years to the beautiful mother of our 4 daughters. We have 3 son-in-laws and 3 grandchildren. After committing my life to Christ in my early 20's it's been a long road taking a hard headed, temperamental Italian male and replacing it with the gentleness, grace and love for others that Christ has. We have made mistakes in our marriage and child raising but we have done many things well with the guidance of Christ. We have gone through financial difficulties, made tough choices and are now living on the other side. Our goal is to share our life experiences to help others stay the course, build strong marriages and watch God provide.

Hi, I'm Joe, formerly divorced now happily married for 28 years. Passionately involved in Breaking Chains, a ministry for those returning to society from incarceration. I love serving and helping people, sometimes just being there to actively listen ! I'm a teenage born again Christian, and He has totally changed my life.

I'm an Anywhere member living in Annapolis, MD. I have 2 kids, ages 26 (boy) and 30 (girl). I have a passion for helping other men ages 18+ as they navigate their spiritual and masculine journeys. I've mentored men ages 18-60+. I'm recovering from multiple addictions which led to betrayal in my marriage, and through God's grace, a healing process that's been life-changing for me and my wife over the past 10 years. I'm hoping to help men get oriented in the Kindgom and avoid making the massive messes I've made in my life. If they already have, I'm also hoping to be a ray of hope they can use to help heal themselves and others they've impacted.

I'm here for you! If you are struggling with Anxiety, Depression, Alcoholism or Addiction, I can relate and have experience with a spiritual toolkit! If you want something different I can show you the same spiritual program of action.

I'm a single mom of 2 boys, ages 7 & 9. I try to live each day with a servant heart, being available and ready to respond for whatever God puts in my path. I was married for 10 years and went through a divorce 4 years ago. I have worked in the corporate worlds of banking and now financial advising for over 15 years. I've previously led a FreedUp cohort and continue to be a financial coach for the program. I find most fulfillment in helping others make room for God to show the hope and new life that can be found in the middle of suffering. I love playing basketball and football with my boys, boxing, skiing, learning new things, and overcoming fears in order to experience more of God's heart.

I’ve spent many years helping lead and encourage people through different seasons of life and faith. I’ve served on staff at Crossroads Church and have been involved in leading Man Camp groups, GO Trips, and volunteer teams over the years. Those experiences taught me the value of showing up consistently, listening well, and helping people take practical next steps in their faith and personal growth. I care about helping people feel supported, encouraged, and not alone in whatever season they’re walking through. Sometimes people just need someone willing to listen, share perspective from life experience, and encourage them to keep moving forward in faith and purpose. I’m grateful for the people who have invested in me over the years, and mentoring is one way I hope to give some of that back to others.

As a mentor, I strive to be approachable, honest, and encouraging. I believe in creating a space where you feel comfortable asking questions, sharing your goals, and working through challenges. My hope is to support you not only with practical advice, but also by helping you build confidence in your own path and decisions. I bring over 30 years of experience in public education, having served as a teacher, principal, and district administrator. Throughout my career, I’ve been passionate about helping others grow, develop confidence, and reach their full potential whether in the classroom, in church, in leadership, or in life. Outside of my professional life, I’m a husband of 28 years and a proud father of two grown children. My son is preparing for his upcoming wedding, and my daughter is finishing college and beginning her journey toward becoming a teacher. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the different stages of life and the importance of guidance, encouragement, and support along the way. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, biking, hiking, and volunteering through my church and in the community. I value connection, service, and lifelong learning, and I look forward to bringing those values into my mentoring relationships.

A "coach/encourager by nature" with much experience, strength and hope to offer others looking to overcome challenges and reach their potential. Recently retired, single again and a mother of one son and grandmother of two teenagers. One of my passions is being able to make a difference in someone else's life by walking alongside of them in their journey. Another, is walking and being in nature so I do take the 'walking alongside' others very seriously;) Let's take a walk and talk and get to know each other.

I’m a mom of two (soon-to-be forty-somethings) and a firm believer in the power of encouragement. I love long walks, meaningful conversations, and reminding others they are God’s beautifully unique creation. Having learned that our deepest passions often grow from our pains, I’m excited to walk alongside others with empathy, faith, and a listening heart.

Hi! I’m Kristina - follower, wife, mom. I took the long way around to find that clarity in my life. I ran hard down many paths attempting to find success and happiness. Only to realize my purpose, peace, and joy is being found in growing deeper in relationship with God and the places he leads me. I still haven't got it all figured out, but I continue to seek the adventure of growth in my faith. I have had a few key women support me along my journey and would like to give back in that way to others. Plus have some fun along the way!

I've been going to Crossroads since I moved to Cincinnati in 2009. I'm married with 2 daughters, 6 and 7. I own a small real estate business with a few employees. I enjoy doing things outside - hiking, motorcycle riding, hunting, etc.

I've been going to Crossroads since 2005 and have been a Christ follower since I was 16. After 36 years in the corporate world (plus 3+ in the Army), my wife and I have moved to the inner city of Cincinnati to do neighborhood ministry. I've facilitated several men's small groups and enjoy interacting on a faith basis with men.

Hi! I’m Leah-wife to Shaun, Mom to 3 awesome girls and business woman. I love Jesus, my family, traveling, cooking, cheese, coffee, hiking, music and perfectly imperfect people who want to be a little more like Jesus every day.

I love living an "aggressive" life. I take on new things and love how God has used different opportunities to help me grow. I love gardening, playing piano and guitar, and being outdoors. These are all places where I feel close to God. My hope with mentoring is that I can encourage and help you look at some questions to clarify your direction and focus. I am a good listener and will ask you what you need today. I will support you with prayer.

Hi and welcome! I’m a mom of 2 adult kids. I’m also a widow. I have been a Christ follower most of my life and I’m strong believer in God’s word. I’ve been coming to Crossroads since 1998. God developed my faith early with the challenges I walked through. As a mentor, I want to hear your story and walk with you. My life has not been an easy path so I can relate. Because of this, I have perspective on adversity and how it can shape us. I’m here to listen, offer insight and point you to God’s word.

I am a mom of 9 (biological, adopted and foster) kids from ages 35-4. I have been married 36 years and I love investing in the growth and development of others. I am happy to share any knowledge, experience, and wisdom I have with women or couples in order to support and encourage a deep faith and connection to God; and foster healthy relationships with others. If it is a couple mentorship my husband is willing to be involved as well. I have followed Jesus my whole life through many trials; endeavoring to remember God is working - interweaving, entwining our lives with the lives of others as we simply walk in obedience to Him on this journey. I would love to walk along side you.

Hi, I’m Liv! As a wife of 13 years and a mom to three girls (including 10-year-old twins!), I know firsthand how beautiful and chaotic life can be. My heart for mentoring is simple: to meet young women exactly where they are and point them toward Jesus. I believe God uses every one of my wins and my failures to shape me, and I’m an open book about my journey. If sharing my story helps you navigate yours even a little, then every step has been worth it. I can't wait to walk alongside you.

I do not have dating advice. I am single, love learning, a listener, and a volunteer (Bible Study leader, Video Team, etc.). Able to do mentoring through Zoom or over coffee/root beer/tea/hot chocolate. Former elementary school teacher. While I prefer email to text, I am willing to do either.

Married almost 30 years and mom to 4 young adults, I love building into people and leading teams that help expand the kingdom.

I’ve been through a lot and God has not let me down! My faith has been strengthened through the years as I’ve spent time working on myself, seeking help from people I trust and professionals along with building healthy habits around generosity, stewardship, and discipleship. My undergrad is in biblical studies and for the last 15 years have been in finance. I believe this blend of knowing God and knowing money has a way of helping others unlock strongholds that ensnare them. FreedUp financial stewardship coaching and mentorship

I grew up in the church but didn’t really understand the freedom and power available to me through Christ until I was an adult, a wife and mom. I spent years in a deep-dive study of the Bible which transformed my thinking and changed my trajectory. I’ve been married 49 years and have two adult children, two grandchildren. I know the power of Christian community, of thinking out loud with another follower as we walk our paths. I’d love to come alongside someone who wants all of what Jesus came to bring us, here and now, not just in heaven.

A few years ago I lost my husband very suddenly and unexpectedly and it literally threw my life into chaos and despair. I met some very strong, independent and Godly women who helped me work through many many issues. It’s time for me to step up and be there for others. I have 2 Grandchildren - I love to travel - I love photography - I love pets and I love helping others. I’m also my Granddaughters Girl Scout Leader - and both of my kids were in Scouting - both received the highest awards and both were in Showchoor - so I also love music and the theatre.

I currently lived in Grand Rapids, MI. I am married (for 29 years) with no kids. I grew catholic and even went to catholic school through my sophomore year of high school. As far as I can remember I have bee a follower of Christ but my relationship didn't develop until 2009 after my Mom passed away. I enjoy reading, learning new things, cooking/baking, hosting and traveling. I don't know all the answers or pretend to know. I also will not sugar coat things. However, will provide my perceptions or insights and allow others to form their next steps. Then I will walk along side you for as long as you want.

Hi, I’m a Father to two teenage boys and a Husband. My passion is mountain biking, cycling, and barefoot waterskiing with my boys. I love to help others as well. I'm a recovering addict who, through the grace of god, has been led to a better life because of Jesus Christ. I've had a not-so-great past but have been able to grow from my experiences in life.

I am a mom of two adventurous and curious kiddos and wife of 15 years. I am passionate about serving God and surrendering to His plan! I am a recovering anxiety-addict and love to do anything outside. I am hoping that through mentoring I can help another young person find her village and voice and live up to the potential that God gave her!

I’m relentlessly passionate about deep intimacy with God and the disciplined stewardship of spiritual gifts with wisdom and humility. I live in prayer, grounded in the Word, and sharpened through accountability-driven community. I’m seeking peer and mentoring relationships where faith is fearless, marriages are strengthened, and bodies are trained with the same intentionality as spirits—through shared commitment to health, discipline, and growth online or in person. If you’re hungry for more of God and serious about becoming spiritually and physically unstoppable, I’m your person.

I love the freedom of a life following Jesus! It is a path filled with so many obstacles and not easy but so rewarding. I have the experience of growing up in the church, leaving to try life on my own (fail) and then coming back to the truth and the way. I have led others in groups and in mentoring. If you are serious about finding freedom in your life I am so excited to help walk with you.

Mentoring: My philosophy is based on cultivating self-awareness, facilitated self-guidance, and building deep roots of faith and character-and-competence based leadership. While my capacity (time) to engage is very limited, I'm open to finding the best way to engage to give you the best chance to become the person you believe God made you to be. *Two keys: Make sure you know WHY you want to grow, and that you follow through on anything you commit to do. These are table stakes for growth. Faith and Family: I have been learning how to follow Jesus for the past 24 years. My wife and I have now been married for 3 1/2 years, and we have a young son whom we love dearly Profession: I worked for 10 years in financial services, started 2 small businesses, served for many years as a community and church volunteer in various capacities, have now worked for 3 1/2 years in the nonprofit world, and also am an independent coach/consultant/trainer. Passions: Personal passions include time with my family, reading/learning. exploring the world through travel and food, and anything outdoors or competitive. Professional passions include enabling leaders (and aspiring leaders) to grow, advising teams and organizations toward maximum impact, and bridging divides to enable collaboration.

I’ll start with the information that I myself have been mentored and it has been such a precious gift in my life. I have also mentored others and have found that I grow and learn much more from the people I have “mentored”. I met Jesus when I was 8 but we didn’t become close until I was in my mid 30’s. I’ve been married 35 years and consider my husband to be my biggest earthly gift. He’s witty, smart and kind. We have 3 grown children and 3 grandchildren. I am a beauty lover, word lover and vintage re-seller. I love to laugh, I enjoy thrifting, I love sunshine and have recently started to travel. I’m blessed to have great friends and am in a season of life where I have more free time. I adore being with my family but I would also love to expand my community. I’m fairly flexible for zoom or phone calls as well as some in person meetings.

Hello! My name is Mindy. I have been a follower of Christ most of my life. I was raised Catholic then ran from God for years before I found Crossroads and knew that is where I needed to be and I began running to God vs from Him. I have never had any children, and have not been married (although that will be changing shortly as my boyfriend and I are talking about next steps!). When I was in the dessert trying to hide from God I was looking for approval and love in all the wrong places and forgot my value and ended up in bad relationships and with no self worth. In my spare time I like to spend time with my family and dog whether we are hiking or relaxing in a pool being outside in the summer is where I find peace as time slows down. God has done some incredible things in my life from getting me through some really hard losses to restoring my hearing. But that doesn't mean the devil doesn't come after me, in fact I have learned the closer you draw to God the more trials you face as the enemy tries to convince you to chose him over following God. I would love to help anyone that wants to follow God, has questions or faces challenges that they sometimes just need someone to listen to and provide support from a christian perspective.

I'm here to listen. I've been following Jesus for 39+ years, and have been married for 37 years. I have 3 adult children and 6 grandchildren (yet, I'm a pretty young grandpa at 58). Over the years, I've made lots of mistakes (and sins) in my past that I am willing to share with anyone and show how God forgives, restores, and transforms our lives. "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." Proverbs 27:17

Hi. I’m Nicole. I’m a reformed liar turned truth-speaker who’s passionate about helping women walk in freedom and confidence. My spiritual gift is exhortation, and I love encouraging others, especially women, to lean into God’s truth, even when life feels messy or uncertain. I love the Lord and strive to be Christ’s example to others. I’ve wrestled with anxiety, body image, and the exhausting pursuit of being “good enough.” I know the feeling, all too well, of what it feels like to fall short. But I also know the joy of walking in grace, truth, and wholeness. I speak the truth, even when it hurts and want to help others understand how freeing it is to let go of the past while learning from it. I’m creative, passionate. I’m authentic and compassionate. I’m resilient and like to dream big. But most importantly, I’m available for God (and Crossroads) to use me and my past to help others.

My name is Normarys Perez-Linn. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and moved to Cincinnati about 16 years ago for work. In 2016, my husband and I settled in Northern Kentucky, where I left my career in marketing to stay home with our first child and support my husband in his business. I’ve been part of Crossroads since 2015 and have served in a variety of roles—Kid’s Club, Awaited, small groups, GO Trips, Bible Study groups, and Woman Camp. I’m currently leading a Moms Bible Study in my home while also serving on the board of a local ministry. I live in Fort Mitchell, KY with my husband and our four wonderful kids: Jude (10), Penelope and Liam (7), and Eva (5). I love being home with them and staying involved at their school whenever needed. In my free time I enjoy reading, traveling, journaling, and being in community. I’m passionate about mentoring young women because of the impact that wise, caring women had on me when I was a new mom. Serving and supporting other women truly is my heart.

My childhood and early life was traumatic … then Jesus! Married by 23, two daughters and now two GRANDdaughters. I love to see people come into a real relationship with the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit; becoming strong in his word, developing close godly friendships, experiencing all the blessings of God that changes their life and that of their family and friends. Let’s continue to grow together!

Northern Kentucky born, West Side transplanted. Love the outdoors/a variety of sports (hiking, volleyball, pickleball, ultimate frisbee). Even more passionate about God's truth, it's application to our lives, and apologetics ("defense" of the faith). Avid C.S. Lewis enthusiast. Can't wait to hear from you!

I am a mother, grandmother, a retired teacher and a widow after almost 50 years of marriage. I accepted Christ as a youth. I have mentored teen and facilitated several Bible studies and small groups. I have been trained as a Stephens Minister. I have had some really difficult times in my life and have benefited from mentors who have helped me stay grounded in my faith. I hope I can be that friend for others.

My name is Peggy. I retired from P&G after 31 years of service. I am a widow for about 11+ years. I love to go to Orange Theory and walking in Cincinnati Nature Center, as well as watch movies in Mariemount (I hope they re-open again). My son is 35 year old and a cookbook author. He grew up in Cincinnati but moved away to pursue his dream as cookbook author and influencer. I can offer you with my advices if you are going to interview for a job, I will role play with you and suggest you what to say and what to wear based on the company profile and the position you are going to apply. I can also be an active listener, just seek to understand. Before retired, I was specialized in planning, prioritization, and operations of Program/Projects for IT function. I am good at listening, interacting with people, and I can predict people's nature and personality per first impression, so I can adapt and fit into the overall environment. I want to humble myself to serve you.

Hi there! This feels like a dating profile…I hope you swipe right (is that the good direction?)! My name is Rachel and I live in Mt Lookout with my husband of 11 years and my three babies (preschool and elementary aged). I’ve been attending crossroads for around 14 years and have been involved in a lot of different ways but connecting with people and building meaningful relationships is my favorite. My own spiritual journey has been greatly impacted by mentor relationships and strong women who have spoken into my life and I’d love nothing more than to do that for others. I love deep talks, encouragement, and just getting to walk through the ups and downs of life with people who are also trying to look more like Jesus along the way. I’m a former social-worker turned stay-at-home mom with a passion for women’s ministry, healing, healthy marriages and joy. I also love coffee, reading, flavorful beer, music, traveling and antiquing/thrifting. I’d love to learn more about you and hopefully grow towards Jesus together!

I love helping women get unstuck. Whether that's spiritually, professionally, or relationally. Whether you can't break patterns in your life that you know hold you back, or you're just drowning and need to figure out how to reset. I'm so grateful for how people have mentored me through unforgiveness, busyness, fear, conflict, insecurity, parenting, leadership, and so much more. I love helping other women hear God's voice to live the full life He has for them.

I love searching the Bible for the answers to life's hard questions, particularly related to growth and healing from sexual abuse. "How do I get out of victim mentality?" "How do I forgive?" "What do I do with my anger?" "Is there anything to be thankful for in these hard things?" just to name a few. Having walked this path myself with exceptional mentors along the way, I hope to continue growing (there's always more to learn!) while sharing what has helped me. I'm open to conversations and study with any age women wanting to grow in this way.

My current area of focus is helping others succeed with their finances. God put 2,350 verses about money and possessions in the Bible. Why? Because it's not as easy as some experts portray. It's a source of shame, doubt, anger, marital problems and more. It's also a source of security and idolization. No matter where you are, there's a way out. Some more about me. I grew up in Detroit(ish) and now live in Cincinnati(ish). Outside of talking about money I'm a husband and father to 3 kids. I enjoy camping, a passion reignited by Man Camp and backpacking (343 mile Sheltowee Trace End-to-Ender). After Go Nepal I'd go on all the trips if time allowed. FreedUp financial stewardship coaching and mentorship

Hello there, I’m Sara! I’ve been married for more than two decades and have three adult son’s, one daughter-in-love and two beautiful grandbabies. I spent 20 years in family ministry in the local church before God allowed me to come home as my two youngest were finishing high school and launching out into the world. I grew up in an abusive and broken home. But I found a real relationship with Jesus and my husband and I have been able to break this generational curse. We don’t get it right everyday, but we do rely on Jesus everyday. I loved my time in vocational ministry as a children’s pastor. Working with families, parents and children alike, has been a burning passion that God placed on my heart when I was young. I want to love others right where they are while helping them to find the redeeming love of Jesus. This world is not an easy place to navigate, I would be happy to walk with you right where you are.

I believe God has a purpose for everyone, and He has a grand story for you to be a part of. I love helping people figure out how to make the most of their single life, how to grow as a dad and husband, and what it means to be a man in today's culture. Following Jesus is an adventure, not just a bunch of do's and don'ts (although he does invite us to live differently). Your life should reflect that adventure. Other topics we can discuss: anything NBA related, how to improve your fantasy football team, how to work out on limited time, and finding the best shoes for your basketball pickup game.

I joined Crossroads in 2022 and it was that summer I received Christ as my Lord and Savior. That transformative experience has connected me to a beautiful, supportive community that continues to nurture my faith. My deep passion is to encourage other women by speaking the truth of God's word into their lives. This is important to me, because most of my life I looked to the world for my identity. God has planted a seed in my heart to help other women see that their identity is in Christ alone. I've embraced this calling as a clear direction from God. If you are looking for a mentor to discuss the complexities of life, relationships, parenting (I have a beautiful son), or everyday spiritual growth, don't hesitate to reach out. Furthermore, with a professional background in science and engineering, I am also equipped to offer insightful guidance on academic and career paths within those fields.

I have a heart for helping other women feel seen, heard and loved for who they are at their core. I believe God wants me to use the knowledge and experiences that have shaped my life to guide others towards making choices that will lead to living their best life!

My wife and I have been going to Crossroads for about 15 years. I'm a dad to 3 daughters and have been married to my wife for over 20 years. I don't have all of the answers, I'm just trying to be more like Jesus. When I'm stuck, I look to him. When I'm good, I try to be thankful and grateful. I want to help encourage others to do the same and to enjoy the gift of life.

I’m a seasoned Christ follower who has had many spiritual mentors throughout my life. Those mentors helped shape me and because of that, I am a mentor. I believe it’s the Jesus way of growing and sustaining a Kingdom Life perspective. Life can be hard, but it’s better when we can share the journey with someone who is a little further along life’s path. Jesus is my Number One. I’m a daughter, mother, wife, and grandmother. I enjoy learning new things, meeting new people, cooking and eating, and coffee. I am looking forward to sharing life with you!

I am retired now, but was a full time working mom for many, many years. I value family above all else, but also faith, friends, fun, and fitness. I'd love to use my life experiences in a way that is helpful to someone else.

A significant time of spiritual growth happened for me when I was intentionally mentored / discipled in my mid 20's so I have great interest in doing the same to pass it along. I find my strengths to be reading the Bible and using it to find a connecting time with Jesus to talk about what he is saying - an encouragement, comfort, correction, or giving him our anxiety, fears, or struggles. And I really enjoying praying for people and calling on God to come near, to help, to show up in a tangible way. My wife and I have 4 children and would hope to have someone join our home for meals or some games of Pickleball in our back yard!

God created me/us to be more. At 60 years old, I'm still figuring out what that means. Each day I try to get closer to Him, asking for guidance and searching for unsearchable things (wouldn't it be great if He provided us each a map?). Sometimes I think he's not listening or hearing me. Then I'm reminded (through prayer, a friend or total stranger), oh yeah, He loves me and is with me always. My husband Scott, and I of 37 years of marriage have raised two daughters who are now adults. Of course we're proud of them and cheering them on to experience more of what He's called them to. We're early into experiencing empty nesting. I'm always excited to have our home full again with our girls and their friends when they come to visit. Family time is and has always been refueling and important to me. I enjoy listening to all ages in different stages of life, poised to listen, learn and share my experiences with others. We are all wired to connect and be the church. Maybe God has something for us to learn together. Maybe my experiences can shed light on something you're going through? Either way, pray about it and see if you hear from God about who comes to mind as a mentor. I'm positive He'll lead you to the right person.

I am a retiree who had a passion to studying God's Word. I am looking to be an encouragement to someone who on the journey of a deeper relationship with God. I enjoy sports, photography, and volunteering with people. Most people think I am a consistent individual and trustworthy. I do believe in open two way communication which means listening is important.

I am a mom to 4 adult kiddos - most are non believers which is obviously heartbreaking to me so definitely my biggest prayer everyday! I was in a not so healthy marriage with their dad, but we all came out of it okay and I am in my second marriage now with a man who loves Jesus (YAY). I love pursuing God and learning more every day. I work full time. I have been on a few GO trips and hope to do more. I love mentor relationships as I believe they are LIFE giving BOTH ways!!

Hey hey hey!!! My name is Trinity Gehr, and I’m a junior at the University of Cincinnati studying nursing. I’m passionate about caring for people, both physically and spiritually, and I love getting to walk alongside others in meaningful seasons of life. I lead worship at Crossroads and feel most alive engaging with God through singing, scripture, and prayer. You can usually find me with a matcha in hand, spending time in nature, cooking for family and friends, or getting a good workout in at the gym. Mentorship has truly changed my life. I received a mentor my freshman year of high school and have had people consistently speaking into my life ever since. Their wisdom, prayers, honesty, and encouragement have shaped who I am today, and my relationship with Jesus is drastically different because of it. I’m passionate about creating that same safe, life-giving space for others. I would love to walk with individuals of high school or college age. Whether you’re navigating faith, school stress, anxiety, grief, relationships, or simply figuring out who you are and where God is leading you. My hope in mentoring is to listen well, encourage boldly, be real, pray faithfully, and remind you that you’re never walking alone. If you’re looking for someone who will cheer you on, point you back to Jesus, and walk with you through both the highs and the hard moments, I’d be honored to do that with you!!

Recovering Catholic who has thankfully been walking with Jesus for over 30 years. I would love to mentor anyone who has doubts and/or questions. I can meet in person or online day or night. If you are reading this, God is calling.
