I’ve loved Jesus my whole life, as long as I can remember. I was raised in a Christian household and accepted Him as my Lord and Savior at a young age–even witnessing lots of miracles signs and wonders growing up–yet it wasn’t until high school that I began taking my faith seriously, becoming more than just a believer, but a follower of Jesus. In my junior year of high school, I went from being someone who simply prayed for personal benefit to someone who wanted to go out and make disciples of all nations.

In my senior year, students were given the opportunity to join a co-op program that allowed you to intern at a place of your choosing to prepare you for your future career. I had no idea what I wanted to do. One day, a teacher of mine approached me and recommended the local Christian radio station in our town. At the time I was really shy–so shy that posting a bible verse on Instagram felt weighty and anxiety inducing but I decided to check it out, figuring I’d be doing computer programming and social media management… Until my first day when one of the radio hosts hit me with these words, “Get ready, Amber, you’re going on air in two minutes!”

I fell in love with talking to a microphone knowing there was someone on the other side who was looking for encouragement, a laugh, or a really great worship song to encounter Jesus with. When I graduated, the radio station took me on full-time as a radio host, social media manager and assistant programmer. I hosted a show every evening from 4pm-6pm called, “On Air with Amber”. It usually started with, “You’re listening to On Air with Amber and I just so happen to be Amber!” The opportunity made me realize how passionate I was in learning more about the Lord and sharing my findings with others. Knowing I could impact someone’s day for the better was (and is) so fulfilling.

I enjoyed having a creative outlet. I attended New Brunswick College of Craft & Design in 2020 until I graduated with a certificate in visual arts then made a big girl move–more like big God move–to Newberg, Oregon in 2021 to attend George Fox University with a focus in Graphic Design and Theology. But I ended up dropping out after one year because COVID made it so I couldn’t see my family across the border. So I went back home to Eastern Canada where I ended up in retail management and started a podcast to continue pouring into my passion for spreading the Good News.
