Dallas Willard Ministries is excited to welcome Jo-Dee Poole to the DWM team as our new Volunteer Coordinator. Jo-Dee was born and raised in Bloomington, Illinois. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Illinois State University and a Master’s Degree in Spiritual Formation from Lincoln Christian University. It was during her studies in Spiritual Formation that she reconnected with the powerful teachings of Dallas, both through his written works and videos. In 2020, after a 32-year career in Project Management at State Farm Insurance Companies, Jo-Dee retired and moved to Tennessee to be closer to family. Months later, God presented an opportunity for her to join the inaugural cohort of the School of Kingdom Living, where she gained a deeper understanding of Jesus’ love, enhanced her vision of life in the Kingdom of God now, and forged lifelong friendships. In her leisure time, Jo-Dee finds joy in reading, traveling, and creating memories with family and friends.

Jo-Dee has come onboard to coordinate the efforts of our growing team of volunteers, and we praise the Lord for bringing us her expertise! See our Volunteer Team page to learn about the kinds of things our volunteers are doing, and how you can contact Jo-Dee to get involved.
