Guest Speaker
Zia is a faith-based content creator, a creative storyteller, and a local church girl through and through. She’s passionate about making Jesus deeply personal and beautifully practical in everyday life. Whether she’s filming during a mid-coffee sip, praying for strangers online, or sharing scripture while doing her makeup, Zia’s content is raw, real, and rooted in the Word.
She and her husband, Nathan, both creatives at heart, have been married for nearly nine years. She studied drama and film, and together they carry a pioneering spirit, knowing they are called to break up fallow ground and shift atmospheres with God wherever they go. Zia is not here to play church; she is here to build the Kingdom and invite people into the fullness, freedom, and fun of walking with Jesus.
