Academic Advisors
Jessica Fall, ACC, CPLC
Jessica brings 20 years of professional experience in process creation/improvement, project management and training. A true “activator” & “connector” at heart, she is fueled by helping people and processes work well together. She currently serves as the Dean of our Admissions department and oversees the Academic Advisory team.
Alongside of her professional pursuits, ministry leadership has always played a strong role in Jessica’s life. From the early days of youth ministry to more recent roles as Director of Women’s Ministry and MOPS Ministry, she holds a deep passion for helping others grow in their spiritual life.
After a break from the business world to begin a family, the Lord prompted her to begin coach training with PCCI. Now a Certified Professional Life & Leadership Coach, she is privileged to partner with Christian women seeking to walk out the fullness of God’s calling on their life.
Jessica and her husband James are southern-California transplants, now living in the Knoxville, TN area. There they are raising two elementary-aged sons and living the minivan dream. Jessica enjoys coffee, life-giving friendships, and little adventures with her family.
Ruthie Slingerland, ACC, CPLC
Ruthie has a passion for entrepreneurship and marriage. She helps overwhelmed women dare to dream, discover their strengths and draft their future so they can have the successful and balanced life God has for them.
Ruthie’s entrepreneurial journey started at the age of 19 when she launched her career as a christian music artist in her native Puerto Rico. Over the course of 4 years she performed her songs and ministered to thousands. Soon she realized she needed to step off the stage; a difficult decision that eventually lead her to coaching as a new form of ministry.
For over a decade, Ruthie worked in the language and education field as a professional Spanish interpreter, university language instructor and adult educator.
Missions have always been near to Ruthie’s heart, especially being able to help women of all backgrounds create a sustainable form of income without sacrificing their family’s quality of life. She was recently in Peru serving as an interpreter for her church staff. Ruthie encouraged women to tap into their God given talents and find financial freedom by learning to create a plan and save.
The Slingerlands have a successful online Amazon business that has given them the ability to become debt free, live in the location of their dreams and homeschool their four children while traveling often.
Ruthie loves languages, enjoys singing to the tune of Jamie’s guitar & communicating deeply with others.
Barb Loftin, ACC, CPLC

In 2013, Barb felt God call her into training to be a Christian Life Coach. She received her CPLC from the Professional Christian Coaching Institute in 2015 and her ACC in 2017.

Forty-six years ago, Barb married her high school sweetheart, Denny and they live in Florence, Kentucky. Together, they raised two wonderful daughters, who have blessed them with 4 delightful and adorable grandchildren.
