With 20 years of ministry experience, Tanya has served in children’s and women’s ministry, as a worship leader and is now co-leading a church plant with her husband, Luke. They have 3 children (Morgan, Isabelle, and Ethan) and have served with Assemblies of God World Missions since 2012. She loves discipling new believers, equipping leaders and encouraging others to see their full potential in Christ.

Tanya is looking forward to sharing with Morgan and Isabelle on a Garden Coffee panel. 

Mykelti Blum is a speaker, podcaster, and founder of Heart of the Brave Ministry, which includes the Empower Hour Podcast, live messages, video devotionals, and the “Living In” women’s conference. Mykelti is also a Bridging the Gap Advisor and hosts their E^3 Podcast. Mykelti loves helping women through personal reflection and building community with others. Her favorite activity is to encourage women towards pursuing their goals, dreams, and living in their purpose.

While she is no stranger to Bridging the Gap, Angie Goetz was new to her role as Director at the start of this year following Carol Lund’s retirement. She is an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God and continues to work toward the long held traditions of BTG by Encouraging, Equipping, and Empowering women in their faith in Jesus.

Angie has been married for nearly 26 years and has 2 sons ages 20 and 19 and a daughter who is 15. She lives in Austin, MN and has a professional background of 24 years in property management and various areas of community involvement including serving the last 11 years on her local school board.

She prefers to start her day with a diet coke instead of coffee, loves meeting new friends, spending time with old ones, and a good brainstorming session. She sometimes snorts when she laughs and relaxes by watching sunsets from her front porch in pajama pants as often as she can.
