Samantha Odle

God’s Story:

Samantha understands the unique challenges military-connected youth face and the importance of investing in and discipling them to become lifelong followers of Christ. She is passionate about God’s Word and creating an environment where students can build authentic relationships, grow in their faith, and discover who Jesus is. Her desire is to remind every student that they are seen, known and loved by God and His people.

“But we proved to be gentle among you. As a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children, in the same way we had a fond affection for you and were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us, (1 Thessalonians 2:7-8).

Samantha’s Story:

Samantha has been married to her husband, Chase, for 10 years, and is a mother of three (soon to be four). She met Chase while serving on active duty in the Air Force in South Korea, before transitioning out of active duty to raise their children at home. She holds a B.S. in Biblical Studies from Liberty University, homeschools her children, and loves serving others in her local church and community. As a former service member and with a few years of ministry under her belt, Samantha has a personal understanding of the unique experiences and transitions military families face, which fuels her passion for serving military-connected youth and their families.
