Trisha Goodell
Ordained Minister in Billings, Montana
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I was once a legal minister through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints a long time ago. Eventually I came out of the closet and was ex-communicated. I walked away from spirituality for a long time and am a practicing agnostic, however acknowledge that one's relationship to religion and spirituality is as unique as a river; ever changing and as individual as each person. Currently as a nursing student I came to the realization that people need not just their mental, emotional, and physical needs met, but to have their spiritual ones as well. I am a firm believer that everyone is capable of growth and change, and should be free to be who they are so long as they do not cause harm to themselves or others.

I do not affiliate myself with any religious organizations or ideologies. As a result I seek to listen and learn about those who I will be serving. I acknowledge that we all walk different paths of life and I wish to learn about you in order to better cater to your needs. I adapt my style to who you are.
