Radiant Beauty Ministries

How is your ministry engaging with the community today? Today, our ministry is engaging with the community through both in-person and digital efforts. I host a monthly table at our church ministry, providing a space for connection, conversation, and support. Online, we’ve established a presence on Instagram and LinkedIn to reach and encourage a broader audience. On Instagram, we share Marriage Matters posts every Monday and illustrative episodes on Tuesdays, while on LinkedIn, we post Marriage Matters on Mondays and Rooted in Truth on Thursdays. These weekly posts allow us to offer consistent guidance, inspiration, and opportunities for reflection throughout the week.

What role does technology play in spreading your message? Technology plays a significant role in spreading our message and connecting with the community. Social media platforms allow us to share weekly insights and encouragement, reaching people beyond our local church. We’re also beginning to expand our reach by participating as podcast guests, bringing our message to new audiences in engaging conversations. Additionally, coaching sessions can be conducted online, making support, guidance, and spiritual growth accessible to people regardless of their location.

How do you support spiritual growth among your members? Supporting spiritual growth begins with nurturing our own walk with the Lord. As the primary members of the ministry, my husband and I prioritize spending time in God’s Word and staying consistent in prayer. I also meet weekly with a spiritual mentor and monthly with a pastor to seek guidance and accountability. In addition, I pray regularly for those who are involved in assisting with various aspects of the ministry, inviting God’s wisdom and blessing over their work. This foundation of personal spiritual growth ensures that we lead and serve from a place of faith, integrity, and reliance on God.

What challenges are ministries facing in the modern world? Ministries today face several challenges in the modern world. One major challenge is keeping people engaged in an age of constant distractions and competing priorities. Technology offers new opportunities, but it also requires ministries to adapt quickly to digital platforms and online engagement. Additionally, addressing the spiritual and emotional needs of a generation navigating stress, uncertainty, and social pressures requires intentionality, creativity, and patience.

How do you balance tradition with innovation in worship? Balancing tradition with innovation in worship is about honoring the timeless ways God has been glorified while also exploring fresh expressions of praise. Recently, I completed an evangelism course that offered a comprehensive view of how God is worshipped across contexts. This experience reinforced my belief that there is room for both: maintaining the richness of traditional practices while embracing new, creative ways to engage people’s hearts. Practically, I balance this by incorporating elements like traditional prayers and Scripture readings alongside contemporary illustrations, multimedia, or discussion prompts that invite reflection and interaction. This approach helps participants connect with God in ways that are both familiar and fresh.

What initiatives are you leading to serve vulnerable populations? One initiative our ministry is intentionally leading to serve and honor vulnerable populations is through representation in our teaching and materials. For example, in Zoe’s Illustration, we make a conscious effort to include and represent people from diverse ethnic backgrounds. By doing so, we create content that is inclusive and relatable, helping everyone feel seen and valued within the context of spiritual growth and learning.

How can younger generations be more involved in ministry? Younger generations can become more involved in ministry by finding ways to contribute their unique gifts, skills, and perspectives. This could include helping with social media content, organizing events, leading small groups, or supporting community outreach initiatives. Encouraging mentorship and providing opportunities to learn alongside more experienced members also helps them grow in faith and leadership. Most importantly, creating a welcoming environment where their voices are valued allows younger people to feel connected, empowered, and inspired to serve.
