Meet our Faith Mentor

I’m LaShondra Lockhart, founder of Soulful Guidance Mentoring—a ministry birthed from my own journey of healing, heartbreak, and radical restoration.

I know what it feels like to be silenced, overlooked, and spiritually wounded—especially while carrying the weight of other people’s expectations. I’ve walked through betrayal, survived a painful divorce, and sat in the quiet with questions only God could answer. But I’ve also witnessed how God meets us in the most crooked places—not to shame us, but to restore us. And I’ve learned that your voice, your story, and your calling can rise from even the deepest pain.

That truth shaped my calling as a faith mentor, spiritual guide, and healing companion. Through Soulful Guidance Mentoring, I now walk alongside others—especially Black women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those in ministry—helping them navigate trauma, reclaim their voice, and reconnect with a God who still heals and speaks.

I’m a proud alumna of Simmons College of Kentucky, where I earned my Bachelor’s in Religious Studies, and I’m currently pursuing my Master of Divinity at the Pacific School of Religion. I’m also the author of Awaken Your Voice: A 30-Day Companion Journal—a deeply personal reflection of my own healing journey. But beyond the titles, degrees, and platforms, I’m most proud to be a mother to an amazing senior athlete, and a woman who chose healing over hiding.

This work isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. And if you’re ready to rise, heal, and walk boldly into your next chapter, I’m ready to walk with you.
