“Do not be anxious about anything but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving; present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 NIV Have you ever felt anxious about taking a leap of faith – unsure of the outcome but knowing that it was time to jump? Everyone’s leap is different, whether that be starting a business, changing careers, removing yourself from an ungodly relationship, or writing that script/song. I found myself in that position for several years, knowing I needed to make a change but unsure when or how. In January 2020, God gave me the final nudge needed to take my leap. It was neither easy nor comfortable, but I knew I had to be obedient to God’s calling. Transitioning from an almost fifteen-year career in engineering to the film industry was exciting, yet daunting. I entered the engineering industry by accepting a paid internship with an engineering firm while completing my undergraduate degree in business. It took over a decade to gain expertise in my craft and now I was starting from scratch in an opposite arena. I was out of my comfort zone, to say the least. A door opened immediately upon my arrival to Los Angeles, further confirming my decision, which was a position with a faith-based production and postproduction studio by the name of Kappa Studios. I was not even aware that there was a faith-based studio in Hollywood, let alone one of such high caliber. Come to find out Kappa Studios is a 30+ year old, 15,000 sq ft. facility in Burbank, CA alongside Disney, Warner Bros. & Universal. Several years ago, after much prayer, Kappa made the difficult decision not to service secular studio projects and only serve the faith and

family community. Initially, the business took a dramatic decrease, but in God’s perfect timing, Kappa has become the post studio behind The Chosen (Dallas Jenkins), Unplanned and God's Not Dead (Cary Solomon and Chuck Konzelman), Run The Race (Chris Dowling), and production of Selfie Dad (Brad Silverman). My heart is super passionate and zealous towards family friendly, God saturating pure media content. A few months ago, while working at Kappa Studios, I felt the Holy Spirit nudge me to send a potential film for Kimberly Hobbs to view called Selfie Dad. With awe and wonder, I revel at how God connected me with Women World Leaders, tying a relationship knot from one end of the US to the other: California to Florida. With rapid respect and affections, Kimberly and I know that the Lord brought me here to this ministry for a specific purpose (Thank You Lord and to a mutual friend for connecting me)! Without the Holy Spirit's guidance, this far off connection never would've been made. Although I am still walking through the process of seeing, tasting and hearing what my role is in this ministry, I am thankful that I listened to the Holy Spirit’s prompting on that very day working in the Christian film industry. My desire to serve in the film industry, connected the holy God moment dots to Women World Leaders. Without each step of obedience, I would have never learned about this magazine, and the beauty of this ministry set apart to edify and empower women. I am praying that we all rejoice in the intimate, God possible connections He is making to this ministry! They are all displays of His power, and we are expecting God to do more than we could ever possibly imagine. I am so grateful to meet you all in these pages of the “Voice of Truth Magazine” and be part of such a beautiful magazine of encouragement. To encourage one another that we are not alone, God is with us and for us, and we as sisters are here for each other to cheer each other on from across the globe. I pray that if you have picked up this magazine, or a friend bestowed it upon you, that you will know you are not alone, and an Unconditionally Loving God loves you.
Love Continually,
Ashley Claire
