Featured Speakers
Leila serves on the Epic Movement National Leadership Team as the Field Director of People and Culture, and has been a missionary with Cru for over 30 years. As a campus minister, she has served overseas in Singapore, Philippines and East Asia, and in the states she ministered on the campuses of Cal Poly Pomona, UCLA and UC Irvine, serving in roles as Team Leader, Director of Women’s Ministry, mentor and coach. Leila is a Spiritual Director, and earned her MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from Talbot Theological Seminary. Leila is married to Brent, and they have 2 sons, Jaron (age 21) and Micah (age 18), and currently reside in Southern California.
As an adult, TJ’s spiritual formation has been shaped by her work in the Epic context. Here, she learned about mutuality, space-sharing and servant leadership in ways that have deeply altered her way of being in the world. She has been led by BIPOC leaders for her entire vocational career, which she considers instrumental in forming and shepherding her heart.
TJ has spent many years working through “anxious spirituality” and moving to a secure relationship with God. Recently on a silent retreat, she noticed the lightness in her spirit and said to herself, “this is what it is to be loved and free.” Now, loved and free have become words that describe both what she hopes to experience and what her work invites others into for themselves. She lives in Austin, TX with her husband Jason (who she met on international internship!) and two daughters.West Coast
