Hi, i'm mckenzie!

Your long-distance Mentor & Sister in the Faith

I love Jesus, I love Scripture, and I believe Christian women deserve discipleship that actually helps them grow. I started She Imitates because women shouldn’t feel stuck, confused, or spiritually undernourished.

My desire is to help you study your Bible, live it out,
and confidently guide others to do the same.

i'm so glad you're here!

If We Were Sitting Together Right Now...

I’d probably have a cup of coffee in my hands, a kid making a mess somewhere, and I’d tell you that I never planned on leading a ministry like this. I’m not a theologian, and I don’t have all the answers – I’m just someone who has walked with Jesus through enough real-life seasons to know that following Him is the greatest adventure of my life.

For years, I looked for guidance and growth inside women’s ministries. I joined everything I could, ready to go all in. But my experiences were disappointing. I was constantly met with fluff, comfort, and no depth. Friend cliques were hard to access, and I often left feeling weaker in my faith, and invisible despite doing all the “right” things.

I longed for just one woman to mentor me – to teach me, guide me, show me how this Christian woman thing is done. No one stepped in. Then, opportunities to lead came my way. I took the challenge, determined to give women the experience I never had. And after more than a decade of leading Christian women, I’ve seen it all… or pretty close.

I’ve seen women’s ministry leave women spiritually shallow, overwhelmed, and unsure what real discipleship looks like. Devotionals replace Bible study. Fill-in-the-blank studies fail to teach women how to study Scripture themselves. Miss a week, and no one notices. Leaders are unequipped. Women feel unseen. Countless women quietly crave someone to walk with them, and never find it.

I love women’s ministry, and I’ve made a positive impact in it over the years. But even now, I still encounter the same gaps as a group member. I’ve even been told that quoting the Bible in a group might “hurt” others. Women’s ministry in America isn’t creating mature believers – in fact, I believe it’s making women weaker in their faith.

And honestly? That’s what pushed me to start all of this.

I’m here to disrupt the current norm in women’s ministry and, God willing, make it better. My goal isn’t to replace the local church (though I believe part of the issue starts at the top), It’s to strengthen the women inside it – giving them the biblical depth, practical wisdom, and personal discipleship every Christian woman should have. (Titus 2 anyone?)

She Imitates was born from that ache and that hope. From seeing what’s missing and knowing God wants me to do something about it. From wanting to be the steady, Christ-centered presence for other women that I always wished I had. To be the long-distance mentor you never had.

Not because I have it all together, but because God has placed me here. He has given me a bold personality and a love for truth. He has positioned me for over a decade to witness it all firsthand. He has placed in me a burden that won’t go away. 

My prayer is that every woman who encounters She Imitates will feel challenged, equipped, and encouraged to live boldly for Christ – and to help others do the same.

My Ministry Experience

I’ve spent well over a decade walking alongside women in real, everyday discipleship – not just teaching from a stage but sitting across from living rooms, coffee tables, and messy kitchen counters.

Over the years, I’ve led life groups, taught Bible studies, discipled women one-on-one, and mentored younger believers who just needed someone to help them sort through Scripture and life.

I’ve helped women learn how to read the Bible for themselves, navigate seasons of doubt, rebuild spiritual habits, heal from church hurt, and grow into leaders who now disciple others. 

These experiences are what shape everything I create.
I don’t share theory. I share what I’ve lived, what I’ve learned, and what I’ve watched God do in the lives of real women.

Some of My Ministry Roles Over the Years:

Fun Facts

Want to Know Even More About Me?!

No I did not. I actually grew up Mormon for the first 12-13ish years of my life before walking away from that. I was later saved as a Christian at 19. I did not grow up in a faith-based home and I did not grow up with good examples of what a Christian life looks like.

My childhood was rough. I moved out of my parents home two weeks after I turned 15. I left school, worked full time, paid my own bills, raised a sibling for a little while, and eventually finished High School six months early through independent study while I worked. 

My life has been filled with seasons of abandonment, believing I was unloved and unwanted, loved ones battling addictions, multiple forms of abuse, betrayal, devastation, grief, and obstacles I never should have had to face – yet, in God’s goodness, I’m still here. 

I am a stay-at-home mom and no one pays me for that. lol. Most people think that sahm’s do nothing all day but that is FAR from the truth. My to-do list never ends and time for myself rarely fits in but I know this time won’t last forever so I just try to soak it up as much as possible. 

I think it would be cool to one day make money from She Imitates and content creation, but currently all of this is just a passion project fueled by obedience to what God told me to do.

At 19 at a weekend business conference. There was an optional Sunday service with the conference and I went because I always believed there was a God, I just wasn’t practicing any type of faith or set of beliefs at the time.

I responded to the altar call that day and the rest is history!

At home with my kiddos. I love being home and I have two kids who I homeschool, so we are pretty much always together. As a sahm, I’m often cooking, cleaning, or doing laundry, but outside of my responsibilities, you’ll find me studying my Bible and digging into apologetics, watching Christian debates (obsessed!), watching stand-up comedy (I love to laugh), or making another cup of coffee. lol. 

Nope. I have not gone to Bible College, I do not have any related degrees, I just have real life, hands on experiences to share from. 

God has given me many gifts and talents that have served me well in women’s leadership (a bold personality, a commitment to the truth, great organization skills, intentional actions, natural leadership skills, initiative, being willing to do something about the things I see and believe need changed, and more). 

God has also placed me in an array of positions that have given me a wide knowledge base of what different areas of women’s ministry looks like, and across multiple states. Not to mention, I have also been a member of women’s ministry and have had not so great experiences of my own. 

I love women’s ministry and I want to use all that God has given me, and all that God has allowed me to do over the years, and put it to good use, and that’s why we’re here. All of this is my way of changing things for the better, sharing what I know, and hopefully making a positive impact in women’s ministry for years to come. 

you should grab a coffee and stay awhile!
