Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?

I had originally taken action in becoming an ordained minister, while I was having a conversation with a couple that were involved in a "SSR." They were incredibly nice people and extremely pleasant to talk with. So for them to share how they wanted to marry each other, but were met with nothing short of out-right disrespect/ called names. I knew someone needed to step in, to stand for in a place of compassion and empathy. For the soul purpose of making sure everyone I come into contact with is shown friendship, understanding, respect, and above all else LOVE, not for what they do in their own lives. Love because they just like me are breathing, walking/talking humans.

Where are you from?

Located in east central Indiana!

What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?

I hope to achieve something that is far different than others. To achieve in creating genuine relationships with genuine, good, people. While also providing a truly unique and diverse service!

Additional Information

My personal denomination "Christian." Because I believe Jesus loved all of us so much he took up the cross and ultimately sacrificed himself, to alow us salvation. It is my core duty to work every day to show that kind of love to everyone as well
