Our Story
The Backstory ...
If you had told me a few years ago that I’d give up everything including my house, my cars, and my career to follow God across borders, I would have believed you and received it with gladness, but the excitement would have faded over time and I probably would’ve just poured another shot of tequila, lit a cigarette and went on about my life. Not because I didn’t love God, but because I had no idea He was about to rewrite my entire life. I didn’t know I was about to hop on a 24-hour flight to a country I'd never been to, and launch a global ministry out of my healing and deliverance process!
BUT GOD!

Before the Rewrite ...
Before I left America, I looked like I had it together. I was a full-time realtor, two years into owning my own home, driving my dream vehicle, a brand-new 2024 Lincoln Nautilus, and finally starting to taste what I thought was “success.” But on the inside? I was crumbling. I was hurting, lonely, a borderline alcoholic, addicted to cigarettes, and stuck in this exhausting cycle of failed friendships and relationships that left me more confused than comforted. I was functioning, yes, but depressed, foggy, and fading in and out of my own reality. My worth, value, and identity were lost somewhere between striving and survival.
I knew God. I had walked with Him for ten years at that point. But it was more of a distant friendship than a daily intimacy. I showed up to church on Sundays, smiled when I needed to, and went home to silence that felt heavier than peace. My days were filled with scrolling, drinking, vague meetups, fake friendships, and moments of self-sabotage disguised as fun. I didn’t even realize how much pain I was carrying because I was too busy numbing it. Granted, there were moments of happiness that came and brief flashes of light that made me think I was okay. But they were laced with impermanence, a quiet reminder that the bursts of joy I experienced intermittently could never sustain me.
A Seed Planted in a Dream ...
One random summer night in St. Peters, Missouri, I had a dream. The kind that lingers in your spirit long after you wake up. The kind that feels less like imagination and more like instruction. In the dream:
I was at the dealership turning in the keys to my brand-new car I had only owned for two months at the time. The salesman asked, “What’s wrong? Can’t make the payments?” I said, “No, that’s not it. I’m just doing something different. I won’t need this anymore.”
I woke up like… huh? It didn’t make sense at all. However, as I went about my day that morning, I got on YouTube. I was probably looking for a recipe or a hair tutorial, who knows….when suddenly, videos about Bali started popping up. Video after video, I found myself completely pulled in. Each story about visiting or living in Bali drew me deeper; I was fascinated. What’s life even like in a place like that? The freedom, the pace, the beauty; it all seemed so unreal. I had joked plenty of times about moving out of the country, but that was all it ever was, a joke. I’d never sat down to seriously plan it. At that point, I was nearing the end of a six-year run in Real Estate. I was tired, burnt out, and honestly considering going back to a corporate job. So, leaving everything I knew to move across the world was not on my bingo card! But before I knew it, I was five hours deep, completely glued to my screen. Somewhere waist deep in research and binging videos, something inside of me shifted. I can’t pinpoint what triggered it, whether it was a certain video or something that was said, but suddenly, I knew.
I said out loud, “I think I’m about to move there.”
Then I grabbed my phone and texted my best friend, “Girl, I’m about to move to Bali!”
No context, just a sudden conviction and assuredness that this was about to happen with no idea of when and how, but I began to get EXCITED!! Now, if you know me, you know I’ve lived in more states than most people have lived in apartments over a lifetime; eight states in 10 years to be exact. So moving wasn’t new for me. But this felt different. This wasn’t wanderlust. This was an assignment. And as I prayed, God confirmed it. Once I knew it was time, I started putting things in motion and sorting through all the practical details: where I’d live, what church I’d attend, and when to say my goodbyes. Deep down, I knew this was happening; even when I myself and others didn’t understand. People thought I’d lost my mind. But I’ve learned this: you’re “crazy” until it works, then suddenly you’re a visionary genius everyone wants advice from. You’ve got to be okay with being the trailblazer who moves on faith, with no blueprint, no reference point; just a word from God. Abraham did it. And that’s exactly what God reminded me of: “Go from your country, your people, and your father’s household to the land I will show you.” (Genesis 12:1) I had a solid internal comfort that I was about to meet the God of the universe when I only knew Him up until that point as the God of America. The God that I knew was boundless, but had only experienced in one location. He was truly doing a new thing!
So, I went.
Two Suitcases and A Word ...
I sold everything. Yes, everything. My furniture, my car, my clothes, my house full of “proof” that I had made it. I hosted a moving sale and watched as strangers haggled over what used to be my life. The couch I cried on, the coffee cup that held my morning reflections now reduced to, “Will you take $3 dollars for this?” In that moment, it hit me how fleeting everything really is. The impermanence of it all was sobering. My things were only as valuable as the memories tied to them, and even those couldn’t justify holding on. So I let them go, every last piece. Because none of it truly belonged to me anyway. Everything I owned was simply things God allowed me to steward for a season, not to cling to forever. You can’t pack material things for eternity, but obedience? That one always makes it through customs. I went from a three-bedroom home to two suitcases, a carry-on, and a backpack, and purchased my one-way ticket on Emirates.
When I sat on that plane and buckled my seatbelt, I was terrified. But then something beautiful happened: PEACE. Tangible, unshakable, holy peace. It washed over me like a wave, and I knew: God was in this. When I arrived, I still didn’t fully know why I was there. I thought maybe it was for peace or just a change of pace. When I got to Bali, I kept asking God, “Okay, what do You want me to do?” I was eager to serve and ready to jump into purpose, but what I didn’t realize was that before I could do anything, I had to be processed.
There’s a phrase in the Bible I’ve always loved: “And it happened after the process of time.” Those words hit different when you’re living them. I thought that because I already had a relationship with God, my obedience to move meant it was time to get to work. But every time I’d ask, “What do You want me to do?” His response was the same. Simple, steady, and piercing: “Renew your mind.” - Romans 12:1-2. What God wanted to do THROUGH me, needed to happen IN me first. And so I went through a personal revival, and within two months of my arrival, I came face-to-face with deliverance. I didn’t realize God had brought me not just across the world, but into a season of stillness, pruning, and deliverance. I started my YouTube channel, Nomadically Bri, to document the travel journey and life as an expat in Bali. It grew fast and reached nearly 12,000 subscribers within 3-4 months. I thought, okay Lord, we’re doing this!
Early in my YouTube journey, I made a video about culture shock. I was still adjusting to life in Bali and felt it was important to share what I was experiencing; emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I walked through the different phases of culture shock, trying to make sense of this new environment I had been obediently led into. As I was editing the video, I wanted to add something inspiring, something that would show up on the left side of the screen as the bloopers played on the right. But I didn’t want the typical, surface-level “If I moved out of the country, so can you” kind of message. That wasn’t the heart behind any of this. So I did what I always do when I need clarity; I prayed. I asked God, “What should I put here?” And clear as day, He gave me Romans 10:9:
“If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (NLT)
I remember saying, “Oh wow… You want to save people through this channel?” And while I heard it and was humbled, I didn’t fully understand it. I was still caught up in creating Bali content, unaware that the trajectory of the channel and my life was about to shift. Why pair a salvation scripture with a vlog about cultural adjustment? It felt mismatched. But I obeyed anyway. Then came the instruction that shook everything: “Be still.” It hit hard. I didn’t get it at the time. Why stop me from doing content on a platform that you prospered so quickly?
And It Happened… After the Process of Time ...
The Stillness Shift ...
That pause became the realization that God used Bali to serve as a wilderness. It became the fire that refined me. God stripped away my coping mechanisms and distractions. The need for acceptance of people and striving before Him trying to earn His approval needed to be dealt with. The command to “Be Still” was not about an aesthetically pleasing pause to be captured on camera, but it was an in-the-trenches kind of pruning and transformation. The silence exposed my pain, my striving, my need for validation, and in that stillness, He rebuilt me. I cried almost daily. Happy tears, sad tears, confused tears, but overall, I kept showing up because I felt the release! I often tell people that the only way I could describe the process was that it felt like my soul was inflamed. It felt like God had me by the ankles, hanging upside down, shaking loose change out of my pockets lol. The faith-based word for this is called 'sifting'. By definition, sifting means "to subject to or undergo a process of testing, distinguishing, or purifying. To examine thoroughly and critically; to scrutinize or test." - What an intense process!
My nervous system, my emotions, and my identity all got rewired in His presence. Now, after walking through that wilderness with God, I’m completely smoke-free, no longer bound by alcohol, and living in a state of wholeness marked by vibrant health, renewed strength, unshakable confidence, faith that doesn't flinch, and a boldness that can only come from real freedom in Christ.
Months later, the revelation came full circle. That scripture wasn’t about the video; it was about the assignment. God was showing me that what He wants to release in the earth is not just a revival of church attendance or emotional hype. It’s a revival that saves souls, transforms lives, and shocks the very fabric of a culture that has distanced itself from Him. That’s the real culture shock. Not moving across the world, but being so filled with God that your life confronts, convicts, and invites others into the kingdom. It’s a shock to modern culture that believes it doesn’t need God. And that’s exactly what He’s building through this ministry.
Becoming before the Becoming ...
Throughout this journey, people would often ask, “So what do you do all day?” and I never had a clean answer. Interestingly enough, I said in my first YouTube video that "My full-time job was to work on myself", not realizing that what I had prophetically spoken over myself would become a reality. How do you explain that your full-time job is letting God heal you? That your office is the prayer room, and your meetings are with the Holy Spirit? So I’d just say, “I’m resting.” And I meant it. Day by day, God rebuilt me. Not the Realtor, not the fixer, not the performer, but the daughter. God answered my prayer of “introduce me to me,” and I finally learned what it meant to sit still and be loved without earning it. Furthermore, the Lord revealed the reason behind the pause and the call to step away from content creation for a season. He convicted me in the way only He can: lovingly, yet firmly. Graceful, yet confrontational. In that moment, He imprinted these weighty words on my spirit: “I did not build your platform to almost 12,000 subscribers in such a short amount of time for you to promote people moving to a nation that does not honor My name.” That’s when “it happened after the process of time.” The Lord helped me birth a ministry that I proudly introduce to you as ….

Not born in a strategy meeting or on a vision board. But in stillness. Live Him Global exists because of blind faith, an obedient “yes,” and the stillness that gave God room to move. It’s a ministry built on a two-letter word, “Go.” It’s founded on apostolic principles like Genesis 12:1 and Matthew 28:19 — to go, to teach, to make disciples, and to live Him wherever we are. After nearly a year in Bali, I went to my church’s annual conference and after many confirmations and guidance from the Lord, I boldly decided to launch a rebrand of my channel from Nomadically Bri to Live Him Global. In the decision making, was when He said, “Stay light. Stay flexible. Stay ready to be sent.” That’s when I realized this isn’t about comfort zones. It’s about being available.
From Available to Assigned ...
Now, my mission is simple: to help people live Him; practically, boldly, and globally. Whether it’s through teaching, storytelling, digital ministry, or one-on-one connection, I want people to know that God is not limited by any one place, thing, system, or way of moving. He is not the God of one nation; He is the God of the whole world. He is not bound to the confines of borderlines. He’s not bound by the compartmentalization of our minds' understanding of Him, nor the boundary lines of geography. With that said, Live Him Global isn’t about me; it’s about what happens when you say yes to God with no backup plan, no blueprint, and no idea what’s next… just faith. And truthfully? I rarely know the next thing. People often ask, “So where are you headed next?”, “How long are you staying?”, or “What will you be doing?” and half the time I have no idea. I have become so comfortable in the unknown, and I am finally settled in my spirit, knowing that my understanding is not a prerequisite to obedience. I’ve made peace with the unknown so much so that I find it to be a liberating way to live. Because even when I don’t have all the answers, or a plan, I have Him and His word. Jesus said, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.” (Luke 9:58) It wasn’t until now, living an apostolic like life, from place to place, actively in the unknown, that I understand that verse is not about lack, but rather He was describing freedom. The kind of freedom that comes when your home is no longer tied to geography or comfort, but to His presence. In this passage, a man tells Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.” Jesus responds with that statement not to discourage him, but to reveal the cost of following Him. He’s saying, in essence: “If you follow Me, you won’t always have stability by the world’s standards. You won’t always have a permanent home, predictable comfort, or a mapped-out plan because this life of obedience doesn’t come with guarantees of security. It comes with Me.” Jesus was modeling a life fully dependent on the Father, not rooted in possessions, positions, or places. His “home” was wherever the Father’s presence and purpose led Him. God has helped me adopt a beautiful mentality that embodies the principle “wherever He is, that’s home”. So here I am, across borders, out of my comfort zone, and fully thriving!
What it means to "Live Him" ...
To me, Living Him is what happens when the Word becomes flesh in us like in John 1; when Jesus Himself stepped into the world and made God visible. It’s letting that same Word take form in our everyday lives so that He’s seen through how we live, love, and walk out His truth in real time. It’s when Jesus isn’t just talked about, but seen, experienced, and encountered through our lives. It’s letting the Word walk again through humanity, through you, and through me in real time. Living Him means allowing Jesus to be visible in the way we think, love, forgive, create, and show up in the world. It’s when our choices, our character, and our conversations become reflections of His heart. It’s not about performance, but about presence. It's about letting Him take up space in our daily lives until people can’t tell where we end and He begins. That’s the vision behind Live Him Global. To bring revival to the nations by helping people see who they are in Him and who He is through them. To show
that you don’t have to wait for a pulpit or a platform to live out the gospel.
Your life is the sermon. Through my story, I want to show that this is ultimately His story and I just get the privilege of telling it. Every miracle, every move, every “yes” across borders is proof that when you let the Word become flesh in your own life, the world can’t help but see Jesus. Live Him Global is not confined to one region, culture, or language. It’s a movement born out of obedience, led by presence, and called to impact the world. This is about living Jesus out loud—wherever we go. Whether that’s through a YouTube video, a divine conversation, or simply showing up in a new place carrying His glory in a way that can only touch the atmosphere through prayer instead of physical demonstration. We believe our lives are meant to reflect Him in real time. We move by faith, trusting that every “yes” carries weight beyond what we can see. This isn’t about having all the plans laid out. It’s about trusting the God who does. Like Noah building before the rain, Live Him Global is a response to the whisper of God, a life surrendered to His leading, and a willingness to be used anywhere He sends us. Whether in person or online, our lives are vessels of His presence, and wherever He is, we will live Him there.
Talking about Him is easy.
Quoting Him is easy.
But Living Him is transformative discipleship in real time.
That’s what it means to Live Him. 🌍✨
