Jayme Mae, Spiritual Director/Doctoral Student, Knoxville, TN

I am an avid adventurist and lifelong learner who thrives at the intersection of physical endurance and deep spiritual stillness. Whether I am competing in triathlons, climbing, trail running, or traveling down the world's less-traveled paths, I view the world as a canvas of the Creator's design.

My life is anchored by the quiet rhythms of early mornings and peaceful evenings. I find God in the small, sacred moments—a sudden rainbow after a storm, the sound of rain on the roof, or a perfect sunrise. To ground my daily life, I practice, daily pauses, Scripture memorization, deliberately filling my thoughts with the truths of God. I approach every day as an opportunity to push physical boundaries, expand my mind, and listen closely to the voice of God that calls me Beloved in all that surrounds me.
