Joyce and her husband of 46 years Art came to Tennessee so she could attend the Seminary.
The stresses of pastoral life can be tremendous and the big question is: To whom can the counselors turn when they have come to the end of their strength? Having completed the requirements for her Masters in Counseling, she is currently working on a second Masters in Church Ministry. She will graduate with both in May of this year. Coming from a family of ministers, she wants to be the trusted listener ministers who are stressed, burned out, or struggling with temptation need. She formerly worked as the Assistant to the Director of a radio subcarrier for the visually- and motor-impaired and looks forward to returning to a helping role. |

Kashif Andrew Graham, Contributor
Kashif loves the Lord and can easily be described as a Renaissance man. He loves weightlifting, poetry, photography, music, and desires to let the Lord use whichever hobby He will for ministry.
A New Yorker at heart, Kashif hails from the quiet suburbs of White Plains. He graduated with a double-B.A. from Lehman College (Bronx, NY) in English Literature and Spanish in May 2014. Kashif is currently pursuing a Masters in Divinity with an emphasis in Children's Ministry. While his academic goals are many, he is also aspiring to publish his poetry, and continue to build his typewriter collection.
Kashif is open to whatever God will do, and is looking forward to growing old with his future wife. Not really.
