Who we are is infinitely greater than what we do, have, who we Love, how we vote…
About Heart in Formation: This is a place to lose labels, dump religion, and hopefully find some gems (or just glitter) to shine light on life. My heart is to point to Love and maybe expose a misunderstood (and I think often misrepresented) God. If there is a God, and that God is Love, maybe we’re just one big, wild, broken but beautiful family in progress. Destined for, and covered by, outrageous, personal love.
Everything’s going to be OK in the end.
If it’s not OK, it’s not the End. – Lennon
A bit about me:
Want to get coffee? I’m Jasmine, people-passionate, rainbow-spotting, youth advocate, Drum& Bass lover, who you’ll find geeking on Harry Potter, the New Voltron, Marvel, …anything, and #amwriting every chance I get.
I’m also a “recovering Pharisee” (aka you can be crazy about God and the Bible, but totally miss *His Heart).
Some Issues: Social justice, #NeverAgain, and #NoH8 are on my mind, and I’m most passionate about the fight against child sexual abuse. Ths includes porn exposure and sexual integrity. (1 in 3 kids experience some form CSA, wow.)
Mom of four, married to 1, grateful for all, including a big black chalkboard to keep some sanity and inspiration.

Hope you feel welcome here. Let’s get coffee.
Feel free to reach out.
I facilitate a free workshop on child sexual abuse prevention (via Little Warriors, also available online, here. Contact me if you’re interested.
*I use He and His as simple pronouns for God, but fully recognize God with male and female ‘identity,’ (for lack of a better word). I believe this is evidenced throughout the bible but most blatantly through humanity. If you want to ponder more, check this 2-pt post, “Transgender God” here. Or this amazing Love Letter to a Transgender Teen on Spirit Day.
