Amanda is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist at Beautiful Minds Medical in Northern California. Right away, it may not seem obvious that she’s worked with recovering addicts and at-risk teens, but those were some of her best years that taught her how to love those who are difficult. Now, she works in private practice focusing on depression and anxiety with an emphasis on thoughts and core beliefs while speaking around the country and world at churches and conferences on true psychology. She is also a consulting therapist for the Nedley Depression and Anxiety Recovery Program and one of the experts on The Brain People Podcast. Amanda believes the Church won’t be ready for Jesus’ coming until we have a right picture of God. And she well knows, sometimes people have a hard time seeing God as He really is due to the lies of Satan. It’s her prayer that God will use her to uncover and correct those lies that keep us from loving a very lovable God and the souls He’s called us to win for His kingdom.

GYC Southwest is a grassroots movement of Seventh-day Adventist youth and young adults. Our purpose is to support the mission and message of the Seventh-day Adventist Church by encouraging young people in the southwestern United States to be actively involved in the ministry of the Church and equipping them for service to God and man.
GYC Southwest is one of several regional affiliates of the Generation of Youth for Christ (GYC).
Our Mission & Purpose
The mission of GYC Southwest is best articulated in Fundamentals of Christian Education (1923), page 203:
We are all one in Christ, and should unite heartily in an effort to educate and train an army of young men and women in such a way that they will be consistent, well-balanced Christians, able to understand and explain the Scriptures. The purity, faith, zeal, and consistency of character in those who go forth to work for the Lord, should be so evident that others may see their good works, and be led to glorify our Father who is in heaven. If our profession of faith is sustained by heartfelt piety, it will be a means of good; for thereby souls will be influenced to comply with the terms of salvation. God designs that His grace should be made manifest in the believer, that through the Christlike character of individual members, the church may become the light of the world.
The purpose of GYC Southwest is to support the mission and message of the Seventh-day Adventist Church by encouraging young people in the southwestern United States to be actively involved in the ministry of the Church. It seeks to do this by:
Providing an annual meeting, the Southwest Youth Conference (SWYC), to revitalize our love for His Word, renew our commitment to work where He leads, and deepen our desire to see Him return;
Encouraging a full dedication to Christ through earnest study of the Bible, prayer and service to others;
Meeting each year for worship and Bible study;
Collaborating with local Seventh-day Adventist churches and organizations;
Reaching out to the young people in the southwestern United States, encouraging them to an acceptance and full commitment to Christ;
Using outreach to touch our local and global community in tangible ways; and
Hastening the soon return of Jesus Christ through proclamation of the Three Angels’ Messages, thus encouraging others to prepare to meet Him.
