Purpose

I'm Kihryn Thogmartin, a 17-year-old girl from a town called Zanesville, Ohio. I used to struggle with speaking up, but God has been helping me find my voice the past couple of years. So, let's journey together, saying yes to the blessings God has for us. I'm still learning every day, just like you. Can't wait for you to dive in!


Are You Living on Mute?

Welcome! We are so excited that you want to explore God’s unique plan for your life.

Here are just a few tips as you jump in:  

• Come prepared mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

God created us to find meaning in our lives. But we live in a broken world where we’re continually frustrated in our search. So, what’s the point of living life? This is the question the Teacher in Ecclesiastes is asking. At first, the message of this wisdom book seems to lead to despair, but in fact points to the hope of life found in God alone. 

What's the Point? (A Study in Ecclesiastes: Part 2)

Who are you? Explore God’s word in Ephesians 1-2 and discover how your authentic self, your true identity, has been stolen by labels and the broken systems of the world around you.

True Identity

“I am sending you out like sheep among wolves…be as shrewd as snakes…innocent as doves” Matthew 10:16. Culture is ever-changing, meaningful conversations can become more difficult as hostility increases. This plan will encourage you to learn from Jesus example as he engaged with the interested, only sought to intrigue the disinterested, and deflected the hostile. He both thrived and achieved his purpose on earth despite hostility, and so can we!
