I first met Lisa back in 2012 at a retreat as a speaker. Since then, I’ve seen here and there, and was following along her faith journey. Most recently, we served together at BYG Summer Retreat, where she serves as one of the pastors. It’s been a joy to see her grow in the Lord and lead so powerfully! We are so excited to have her intern with this in this season. Get to know this amazing woman of God.
Tell us about yourself.
My name is Lisa Song. I am a wife, mother, pastor, and student. I am happily married to Bryan Song, and together we have a beautiful daughter named Jordan. My husband and I are college sweethearts and we currently serve in ministry together at Bethany Church.
How did you come to faith and how did you get called?
Growing up, I had always attended church, but I didn’t really have a relationship with God. I went to church to be with friends, not to meet God. I came to faith and committed my life to God when I was a sophomore in college (ironically) at a youth retreat, which was the first youth retreat I ever went to. I had never witnessed the Holy Spirit move so powerfully before that night. After that retreat, I was so hungry to learn more about God and I wanted to serve Him in any way that I could. I was on track to become a lawyer, but I kept sensing in my spirit that I was called into ministry. I didn’t tell anyone because I was deeply afraid, but God kept giving me clear signals whether it be through opportunities, open doors, affirmation from my community, and a fulfillment and joy that I could not find anywhere else.
Why did you want to intern with Pursuit in this season?
I wanted to intern with Pursuit this season because I wanted to learn about regional ministry and how churches and leaders, regardless of age, gender, denomination, race, can be united in contending for and ushering in revival.
How would you define “revival”?
I believe that revival is living like Jesus and doing what Jesus commissioned His disciples to do- abiding in intimacy and doing the will of the Father. It is bringing God’s Kingdom here on earth- the sick are healed, the bound are free, the lost are found, the broken are made whole.
What are your passions?
I have a huge heart for restoration and renewal in Christ. I desire to see people set free from emotional, physical, or spiritual bondages and live in wholeness. I also love activating people by seeing and drawing out the best in people- the gold in the midst of dirt.
