Meet The Board

James and his wife, Feleshia, are proud parents of three daughters and four sons, as well as grandparents to four granddaughters and one grandson. They also have two beloved grand-dogs.

In 2014, James experienced a powerful revelation about what it truly means to love others. Since that moment, his passion to care for people and reflect the love of Jesus Christ has only grown stronger. He has devoted his life to encouraging others to develop a personal, intimate relationship with our Father God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. James firmly believes that when someone walks closely with God, His love overflows—and that person will be naturally compelled to love others the way Christ loved us.

Professionally, James has been immersed in the technology field since the early 1990s, with experience as a Network Administrator, IT Director, and Web Developer.

In 2018, James partnered with Brian Knoedl to found Called to Love, where he continues to serve as President.

Brian is blessed to be a father of four, a “father-in-love” of two, and a proud Pawpaw of six. But above all, he is a rescued, redeemed follower of Jesus.

His journey of faith has included many life experiences—successes and setbacks in marriage, business, and family. Yet through it all, Brian says one thing remains true: God is always faithful.

In 2015, Brian’s life changed through an unlikely but divine introduction to James Levisee. Though complete opposites, the two brothers in Christ had shared similar struggles—spiritual disconnect, church burnout, and unhealed relationship wounds. God had a plan. Together, Brian and James walked through a season of healing and rediscovered what it means to have a true relationship with God and with Jesus through the work of the Holy Spirit.

From this journey came a new mission: to show how spiritual growth and discipleship happen best through personal, relational environments—simple, one-on-one conversations where hearts can be opened and lives transformed.

Brian’s love for people has also shaped his professional life, with more than 30 years of experience in retail, insurance, and sales consulting.

In 2018, Brian and James gave their mission a name: Called to Love. Brian now serves as Vice President and continues to live out his passion for helping people draw closer to Christ.

Yvonne officially retired from 28 years of homeschooling in May 2025 when the youngest of her eight children graduated high school. She is a proud grandmother to ten (and counting), a mom-in-love to four so far, and “Mama Nadler” to many friends.

Baptized at age 12, it wasn’t until her mid-20s that she truly began to fall in love with God’s Word, when a Women’s Devotional Bible came alive to her through study. It was during the trials and struggles of healing from childhood abuse that Yvonne discovered the true love of a Father—through the faithfulness, goodness, and power of God.

Yvonne believes that loving God and caring for yourself are the keys to loving others as God loves us. As a health and nutrition coach, freedom minister, Bible teacher, writer, and author-in-the-making, she is passionate about meeting and encouraging others to live well so that they may experience the grace and peace to love well.

Christian, Husband, Dad, Mentor, Friend, Chemist, and Author. Those are the most important titles in my life. The key ingredient in all of those roles is love.

To me love means that I see people for their created value and potential, and work to guide them into their identity and purpose one relationship at a time.

Life truly is a beautiful journey – I just haven’t wandered very far! Being born and raised right here on the same farm where I still live has kept me grounded in Scott, Arkansas. And while I may have stayed close to home, God has filled this place with so much life, blessing, and purpose.

For many years, John and D’Arylan have been richly blessed with family and the joy of serving our Heavenly Father through Lay Witness Ministry, Thursday Night Prayer Group, Harper-Alexander House Ministry, Empowering International Ministry, and so many wonderful churches.

We continue to grow together through Home Bible Study and First Thursday gatherings in the Shop, and it is such an honor to now be part of Called To Love. What a gift it is to walk this path of faith alongside such dear friends and family in Christ.

I feel so blessed to be a mother of 5, grandmother of 7, and great-grandmother of 2. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of serving in many ways – attending Emma’s Walk #35 at the Table of Mary, being a Lay Speaker, leading ladies’ groups, and taking part in different areas of church life.

These days, I’m a Door Greeter at Celebration Church of Humphrey, where I truly enjoy welcoming others, learning more about our Lord, and meeting new people. I’ve also been part of Called to Love events, which I treasure because of the wonderful friendships I’ve made and the new ones still to come.

Above all, my greatest honor is when someone tells me they see Jesus in me – there is no greater joy than that!
