I’m Maury Jo and am married to my husband of 25+ years. We have three children - Gracie, Isreal, Boston, who are all moved out of the house and living their best young adult lives. We have a passion for foster and adoption and we adopted our son when he was 15 who is from Nigeria.
My husband has been a football coach our entire marriage and it has been a joy to minister to the next generation through sports. We have students over weekly for family style dinners, allowing our kids to be a part of my husband's world and this opportunity for the gospel.
The outdoors and creation echo God's truths and beauty in my life and I can't help but find myself outside all of the time. Whether running and doing triathlons or working with our horses and other animals, all of it refreshes my soul.
I went to Baylor University and received my Bachelors in Elementary Education/P.E and am also a certified Biblical Counselor, working with kids and families for over 30 years. After graduating from Baylor, I taught school for one year and then spent the next 13 years at Heartlight Ministries - a residential Christian counseling center. While there I oversaw the residential program, counselors, and I personally counseled the residents and families as well.
I am passionate about Truth and Jesus. Through my own sexual abuse as a young child I bought into many lies, yet through counseling and prayer - bringing Jesus into those moments - I experienced true freedom in Christ.
I have spent the last few decades delving into counseling and supporting others in various ways. I have received training in abuse, trauma, conflict resolution, and I hold my Licensed Child Care Administrator. I have spent over a decade serving as the Recovery Minister at the Flower Mound Campus of The Village Church. I also hold a certificate in biblical counseling from The Association of Biblical Counselors (Equipped to Counsel) and I have completed Ministry Safe. Additionally, I served on the board for Young Life when in Wichita Falls and I currently serve on the board for Six One Ministries and Blue Haven Ranch.
