About Jilian

"For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe." Ephesians 1:16-19

This verse is the heartbeat of Illuminate ministries. I am passionate about expanding biblical literacy among all who will join me in the work of theology, which is faith seeking understanding. I welcome all who are seeking truth. I believe with everything in me that this is the path to freedom and it is my greatest desire to see a people free to live the life they were created for in worship of their Creator. My path to teaching began with leading a small Bible study group in my home back in 2014. I have been given the opportunity to teach all ages and many topics since then. I am completing my M.Div. degree at B.H. Carroll Theological Institute and should graduate in May of 2022. My undergrad degree is in Vocal Performance and I have been a voice and piano teacher for nearly 20 years. You will find music regularly weaved into my teaching as it is the way I communicate with God and hear His voice most clearly. I hope to meet you whether in person or online and have the opportunity to learn from you as well. Welcome, friend. I am already praying for your pursuit of truth, clarity, and freedom.
