Called to Something Greater
Jennifer’s Story: A Calling to Serve and Uplift
Jennifer has always been passionate about health and movement. While she wouldn’t call herself a competitive athlete, she’s always lived an active lifestyle — finding joy, strength, and peace in the gym, on the trails, and outdoors with her dogs. Whether she’s hiking through the mountains or running beside her pups, she lives out the same principles she teaches: staying active, fueling the body with proper nutrition, and caring for the temple God has given us.
During her many years working as a Nationally Certified Medical Assistant, Jennifer saw firsthand how much of modern healthcare focuses on managing symptoms instead of addressing the root causes of illness. That experience opened her eyes to the need for a more holistic approach — one that combines science, nutrition, and faith to help people experience lasting wellness.
Her heart for helping others, her lifelong love of fitness, and her deep faith in Christ naturally led to the creation of Faith & Fire Wellness — a faith-based wellness community designed to help others honor God through movement, healthy nutrition, and clean supplementation.
Today, Jennifer also serves faithfully in her church’s children’s ministry, teaching Sunday school and helping young hearts grow in their understanding of God’s love. Her passion for both faith and wellness reflects her belief that when we serve God with the gifts He’s given us — whether in health, family, or ministry — we live out our purpose more fully.
Dusty’s Story: A Calling to Endure and Inspire
Dusty’s passion for movement and endurance started early. As a long-distance runner in high school, he pushed himself through 5K and 10K races, developing the drive that would later carry over into mountain biking. For years, he trained and competed across challenging courses, finding purpose and discipline in every mile.
In the mid-2000s, a food-borne illness disrupted that rhythm and left lasting effects on his digestive health. For more than a decade, the symptoms made daily life unpredictable and difficult — even forcing him to step away from competition around 2011, shortly after meeting Jennifer. The ongoing health challenges affected them both and became a defining part of their shared journey.
Then, in 2016, Dusty was introduced to Youngevity’s nutritional supplements through a personal trainer at the gym. Within weeks, he began to notice real improvement, and as he stayed consistent, his health and energy returned. When he stopped, the symptoms came back — and when he resumed, they disappeared again. The results were undeniable.
The transformation was so significant that Dusty considers Youngevity’s supplements one of the most impactful experiences of his life. The renewed energy and health not only allowed him to feel like himself again but also improved the quality of life for both him and Jennifer.
By 2020, Dusty was back on the bike — not racing this time, but coaching and mentoring youth athletes. He found himself faster, stronger, and healthier than he had been in years. That transformation is part of what inspired the foundation of Faith & Fire Wellness — to help others experience the same kind of restoration and renewed strength that changed their lives.
Where Faith Fuels Wellness
Faith: The Foundation of Everything We Do
At Faith & Fire Wellness, everything begins with faith — a daily trust in the God who created us, sustains us, and calls us to live strong, purposeful lives. We believe our bodies are His temple, and caring for them is an act of stewardship.
Faith isn’t just something we talk about; it’s the foundation behind every step of this journey. And like many people, our own faith stories didn’t start in perfect places — they started in real life, real struggle, and real transformation.
Below, we share our stories — not to elevate ourselves, but to show how God meets us in different ways, at different times, and leads us toward healing, strength, and purpose.
Dusty’s Faith Story: A Calling to Know and Follow
Dusty grew up in a home rooted in biblical principles like honesty, kindness, and respect. His parents lived out the values of Scripture daily — they just never labeled them as Christianity or made church a regular part of family life. Without realizing it, those principles quietly shaped him and became the moral compass that guided much of his early life.
For years, Dusty knew about Jesus, but he didn’t truly know Him. Looking back now, he can clearly see God’s fingerprints throughout his life — in the protection he didn’t recognize at the time, in the second chances he was given, and even in the consequences he didn’t receive from some of the reckless choices he made in his younger years. God was present long before Dusty ever acknowledged Him.
Everything changed in 2019 when Dusty attended his first Men’s Encounter. He walked into that weekend carrying years of self-reliance and a surface-level understanding of faith, but he walked out transformed. For the first time, he met Jesus personally — not as an idea, not as a distant belief, but as a real, living Savior. That encounter became the moment where faith moved from head knowledge to a true relationship.
From that day on, Dusty’s life has been different. Faith shifted from something he respected to something he actively lives. Following Jesus brought not only purpose, but also responsibility — the responsibility to lead his family spiritually, to love his wife the way Christ calls husbands to love, and to set an example of integrity and faithfulness for his home.
Dusty also stepped into leadership within their church. He and Jennifer now serve faithfully, helping oversee ministry teams and supporting the mission of their church with a shared desire to help people grow — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. For Dusty, leadership isn’t a position; it’s a calling to serve, protect, and encourage others in their walk with Christ.
His Men’s Encounter experience continues to shape every part of his journey and stands as a foundational piece of Faith & Fire Wellness. Dusty’s story is a reminder that true health and purpose begin with knowing the One who created us, and that God often works long before we realize He’s there.
Jennifer’s Faith Story: A Journey from Hurt to Healing
Jennifer’s parents were Catholic, but faith wasn’t something her family practiced together. Still, she grew up surrounded by friends whose homes were filled with faith, and she often joined them for youth camps, Good News Club, and church services. Those early experiences planted quiet seeds long before she understood their significance.
At around 22, while attending a church service with the man who would become her second husband, Jennifer felt the Holy Spirit tugging on her heart. She responded to an altar call and was baptized. She knew she had accepted Jesus, but her relationship with Him wouldn’t truly take shape until many years later.
After enduring a verbally abusive marriage and then suddenly losing her father, Jennifer felt deeply hurt and angry with God. She still believed He was in control, but she wanted nothing to do with Him. When she met Dusty, he became a steady part of her healing, helping restore pieces of the brokenness those seasons left behind.
Later, when the kids expressed interest in returning to church, Jennifer and Dusty agreed to go. What began as encouragement for the kids quickly became something more. From the start, this church felt like home. Even so, Jennifer still carried anger, depression, and a heavy sense of unforgiveness. As the depression worsened, Jennifer began taking medication, which helped lift the fog enough for her to see more clearly.
Through small group relationships and the genuine love of their church community, she slowly began to heal. But everything changed when she attended her first Women’s Encounter. On the mountain, she experienced God’s love, forgiveness, and presence in a way she never had before.
That Encounter broke down walls she had carried for years. It became the moment her real journey toward healing began—a journey that stirred a desire to know God more deeply and to serve Him, not out of obligation, but out of gratitude for what He had done in her life.
Jennifer’s story is one of wounds, redemption, and God’s patient pursuit. Her journey continues to shape the heart of Faith & Fire Wellness, reminding others that God meets us right where we are and leads us into healing, wholeness, and purpose.
