“There were places within me that were quietly shaping how I experienced God, myself, and others…”
Hi, I'm Tessa.
Unveiled Glory began from a quiet but persistent longing in my own life—a desire to experience God in a way that felt more real, more personal, and more connected than what I had known.
The Longing
For a long time, my life looked like it matched that desire. I loved Jesus, I was involved in ministry, and I practiced spiritual disciplines. From the outside, things appeared fruitful—and in many ways, they were.
​
But underneath it all, there was a disconnect I couldn’t quite name. I didn’t feel as close to God as I longed to be. It wasn’t that I never heard from Him or wasn’t growing. That’s what made it confusing. There were real moments of connection and genuine fruit in my life. But a steady, relational intimacy with God—the kind that feels personal and alive—was missing.
The Shift
Over time, I began to realize that my relationship with God had largely been shaped by what I understood, rather than what I had experienced at a deeper, heart level. There were places within me that were quietly shaping how I experienced God, myself, and others—even though I didn’t fully recognize it at the time.
​
As I began to slow down and bring those places into God’s presence, something started to change. I wasn’t just praying to God—I was beginning to be with Him and be changed by Him. I was experiencing healing and freedom in ways I didn't even know I needed. His voice became more dynamic and recognizable. I noticed His presence in new ways. The parts of me that were hidden or disconnected began to come into the light and be met with His tender care.
What I Believe
I’ve come to believe that as we intentionally slow down, listen, and respond to God's invitations, we begin to experience Him more profoundly. As He meets us in the deeper places of our hearts, true transformation happens. We begin a journey that leads to greater wholeness and trust. This kind of transformation doesn’t come from trying harder, but from learning to be with Him in a more honest and attentive way.
What I Do
I walk with followers of Jesus as they attune to His voice, accept His invitation into the inner work, and grow in deeper intimacy with Him over time. I am a certified spiritual director through Soul Shepherding, where I was trained to listen for the movement of God in the lives of others and create space to experience God’s empathy and care. If you find yourself longing for a deeper, more real relationship with God, you’re not alone.
Seeds of Promise
Before Unveiled Glory existed outwardly, it was first formed in hidden places with God. Through seasons of prayer, waiting, and surrender, He began speaking through scripture—offering glimpses of vision that often felt mysterious and unfinished. I didn’t always know what He was building, but I knew the burden He had placed in my heart.
Like seeds planted quietly beneath the surface, these words and promises were carried and tended in faith long before I could see what they would become. In time, what was hidden began to take root, bloom, and unfold into the vision God had been cultivating all along. The scriptures below are part of that story—a few of the foundational passages that helped shape and nurture this ministry from its earliest beginnings.
2 Corinthians 3:16-18
For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.
Ephesians 3:16-19
I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
Ezekiel 47:12​
Fruit trees of all kinds will grow along both sides of the river. The leaves of these trees will never turn brown and fall, and there will always be fruit on their branches. There will be a new crop every month, for they are watered by the river flowing from the Temple. The fruit will be for food and the leaves for healing.
