Suzie Lind

Executive Pastor of Ministries

Suzie accidentally stepped into church ministry in 2002 when she was looking for a part-time job that would allow her to stay home with her kids. It was then that she recognized her deep desire to help the Church become what it was always meant to be – a collection of broken people meant to bring hope and joy to a wounded world. She spends her time guiding people through their spiritual formation and developing leaders. Her greatest joy is seeing people’s love for Jesus fuel their daily rhythms of life. Since joining the Journey staff in 2017, Suzie’s primary role is embody and implement the “tables and wells” culture of Journey. She’s also a member of the teaching team, and serves as an Elder of the church. Suzie holds a degree from Azusa Pacific University and is slowly pursuing an MA in Theology through Fuller Theological Seminary.

PODCAST

Welcome to a special, three-week series, in which host Kevin Dixon invites pastors, friends and professionals to help him explore the subject of addiction. This week, Suzie Lind and Sam Barnhart join the discussion to examine the spiritual side of addiction. Part 3 focuses on the spiritual and pastoral side of battling addiction. In Part 4, they explore resources for others affected by an addiction.

Journey’s HOOKED series is a direct response to the written, weekly prayers of our community. As we have read and prayed over your words, it has become clear to us that addiction affects more lives than any of us could possibly imagine. Whether that’s substance abuse or a “process” addiction like pornography or gambling, we hope this series will help us our understanding and our healing.

If substance abuse or addiction is a problem, you are not alone. Please ask for help. You can call the National Substance Abuse and Addiction Hotline 24 hours a day at (844) 289-0879. You can always contact Journey’s pastors, too, at journey@journeytn.com or by phone, by text at (615) 861-9503 or phone Journey at (615) 490-3603. Next week: Suzie Lind and Sam Barnhart join Kevin to examine addiction’s spiritual and pastoral questions.
