Patti Burris

Patti Burris has spent the last 19 years raising 5 children to adulthood. She has survived the ups, downs, chaos and messiness that comes with being a single mom. At some point, she started to see what life could be like beyond the kids screaming at each other, the bills that didn’t get paid, the cars breaking down, and the confrontations with the ex. She started to have hope in the future. She started to have hope when she put Jesus at the center of her life and her family.

Patti has had a heart for the single mom for many years. She loves to use her experiences as a single mom to minister to other single moms who are stuck in the mud of the single mom journey. She lives by faith and in her own imperfect way, she is teaching other single moms to do the same. Her greatest joy is when other single moms find that hope that can only be found in Jesus. She is a certified Biblical lay counselor and a certified Christian life coach. She is the author of God Is: A Seven Week Bible Study For Single Moms. Patti lives in Valdosta, Georgia with her daughter, Kiowa. You can find Patti at www.pattiburris.com.
