Her passion is to help the youth discover who they are in Christ, embrace their identity, God-given purpose and live boldly and unapologetically for God. To her, this work is more than a vocation; it is ministry, mission and the fulfilment of God\u2019s call on her life. She believes that every young person deserves to be seen, heard, loved and guided toward the destiny God has prepared for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through writing books, her teaching and her youth mentorship, Lydiah continues to create safe, hope-filled spaces where children and teens can flourish.
