"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him." -James 1:2-5

She holds a Competence and Character Growth Model Certificate from the Townsend Institute at Concordia University, a Formation Certificate from the CCEF School of Biblical Counseling, and a Narrative Focused Trauma Care Certificate from The Allender Center at The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology. When she’s not devouring a book or geeking out on neuroscience, Barrett enjoys leading worship with her husband and welcoming their community into their home
