THE PODCAST
Upstream Pursuit
We live in a constantly changing society where culture, experiences, emotions, the media, and our intellect informs what we believe, think and say, and how we behave and lead. The Upstream Pursuit Podcast calls women to go against the current by measuring everything against the Truth of God’s Word. Join Erica and Narcely every other Monday for energizing conversations and practical tips on how to live and lead in pursuit of unchanging Christian values.

Hi! I'm Narcely Ruiz.
I am a wife, daughter, sister and aunt. I gave my life to Christ at age 26 and since then, my love for Jesus, the Church and my hope for future generations drives everything I do. I am a worship pastor, musician and discipleship teacher. I served six years in the U.S. Air Force, have a criminal justice degree from Texas Christian University and a master's in social work from UT Arlington. I also hold a Graduate Certificate in Life Coaching from Grand Canyon University. I have a deep passion to see people achieve their God-given potential and to see women walk in the fullness of their leadership capacity.

JOIN THE PURSUIT
Our mission is to cultivate a community of women who pursue, speak, defend and live the Truth of God’s Word with great boldness and to challenge them to lead with Christian values. Pursuers are committed to the three pursuits below.
Pursue Christ
Going against the current is about drawing nearer to the Source. Our primary pursuit is to seek Jesus, search His Word, hear His voice and obey His commands.
Pursue Community
Going against the current should not be done alone. Our secondary pursuit is to surround ourselves with women who challenge us, encourage us and keep us accountable.
Pursue Change
Going against the current leads to transformation. Our third pursuit is to proclaim the Truth boldly and gently so we lead others to the knowledge of Christ and to life change.
