Julie Thompson

“When Jesus Is Your Friend: Finding Peace and Unity Through the Savior” @julie.and.jesus

Hey, I’m Julie Thompson. The face behind @Julie.and.Jesus and @AGreatForceForGood

I grew up in a rather large family, I’m the youngest of 11 children. Dad spent his life teaching and living the gospel as a seminary & Institute teacher, and for as long as I can remember, serving in bishoprics and then stake president in Norman, Oklahoma all through my teenage years. We are from Utah’s Dixie and moved to Norman when I was 11 years old! 

I returned to Utah at 18, mid senior year, on my own. (Whole story in and of itself) And this is when, unbeknown to me, I met my future husband.

Now, I’m momma of 6(5 earth side). I have always loved the gospel and known it to be true. My time in Oklahoma strengthened and deepened my faith.

After some difficult trials, I found myself clinging to “every good thing” I could to not drown in misery from the trials.

Now, I take the opportunity I have to share all I can about our dear Savior.

I studied to become a Social Media Marketing Consultant and am so exited to put what I have learned into practice through my own channels and for others.
