In this episode of 12-Minute Convos with Jesus Believers, Engel Jones connects with Lakeea Kelly from Battle Creek, Michigan. Lakeea shares how she was called to ministry at just nine years old, recalling how she used to pretend to hold a mic and preach to herself in the mirror. Today, she beautifully merges her master's degree in psychology with her pastoral calling, using practical wisdom and biblical principles to help others heal rather than choosing just one path.

Listen in as Lakeea discusses the profound importance of operating in a "spirit of excellence," modeling her character and daily disciplines after Daniel in the Bible. She vulnerably shares the story behind her 2017 book, revealing how the Holy Spirit walked her through her own "Trans-her-mation" to overcome deep-seated feelings of rejection and a need for affirmation. If you are ever feeling paralyzed by your own inadequacies, Lakeea’s powerful encouragement to align your heart with God's vision and boldly "step out the boat" will completely renew your faith!
