Our Servant-Leaders/Founders

---

 Kate Pang loves to tell her story of God’s transformative power. Born into a secular Jewish household on the Upper West Side, she didn’t have a passing thought about Jesus. Her early pursuits focused on achievement and accumulation. 

Educational achievements — two law degrees and extensive experience in law, business and education — resulted in both professional and personal success. After an invitation to read the Bible, Kate relented. She read the old testament and saw evidence of God’s great love for His people, and her heart softened. Through a Gideon bible in a Houston hotel room, Kate came to understand that to know God, she needed to know Jesus. She said yes to Jesus at 30 years old. 

God gave Kate an inextinguishable yearning for Him. In the early 1990s, God stripped away fleshly comforts to bring her life into alignment with Him, removing idols. He replaced them with a hunger to proclaim Christ while creating a relationship of surrender to and dependence on Him. 

Achievements continued for Kate, for His glory, and include a PhD in Psychology, an MBA, and a Th.M. and M.Div. from Talbot School of Theology. The Lord continues to open doors for her to teach, speak and lead, all cultivating a deeper relationship with Christ — one replete with trials, miracles, and faithful obedience. 

The story is real. The message is clear. Kate helps others see how to practically and humbly live as a victorious overcomer in, but not of, the world. Now, as a Dallas resident, she serves as the founder of the Christian Life Institute and as a licensed psychologist and clinical director at Lakewood Wellness. 

Kate’s message of transformation is not only the message of her life, but for all of us who desire a victorious life in Christ.
