Hi, I’m Lisa A. Tuttle.

I was born and raised in Ohio. I met Alan at Ohio State University; we married in 1985 and a year later he began his career with the U.S. Air Force, which meant lots of moving until we finally settled in the Florida panhandle in 1997. We’ve been here since. We currently have four children, five grandchildren, and several weird cats. We don’t expect the number of children to change at this point, but the number of Love Nuggets and cats could certainly experience some shifting.

I see the world through a lens of creativity. I also see God and faith through a lens of creativity. I am an artist but my creative endeavors stretch far beyond doing artsy things. The English language is one of my favorite creative mediums. If I can’t find the word I need I will make one up, and you will understand exactly what I mean. Or you’ll laugh. I’m ok with either.

I am passionate about equipping and empowering a culture of hope dealers, peace makers, joy rebels, mercy givers, people lovers, and justice champions. I long to see humanity meet the amazing Jesus who came to set them free, and to help them be victorious over the war zone between their ears, since that’s where most battles begin and where they rage most violently. I love to train people with the goal of raising prophetic gifting to a practical, creative, and transformative level for our culture.

I’ve known Jesus most of my life. I have experienced and served the church in many different settings: denominational, non-denominational, home church, traditional, charismatic, seeker-oriented, and others. I’ve learned you can find God in all of them because he loves to show up where people are, but not everyone makes as much space for him as he needs. He’s really big. If you want more of God, it’s my joy to help you make room for him.
