God has allowed me to wear many hats over the years. From helping launch a youth ministry that impacted countless young lives to leading alongside my husband as Co-Founder and Pastor of Linked UP Church in Metro Atlanta, my passion has always been the same: helping people discover who God created them to be. Since founding Linked UP Church in 2014, we've been honored to serve a growing church family committed to connecting people to God, Family, Purpose, and Community.
Outside of ministry, I'm the owner of Sakal Realty, LLC, serving clients in Michigan and Georgia. For almost three decades, I've loved helping individuals and families achieve the dream of homeownership through education, coaching, and strategic planning. Whether I'm teaching financial principles, developing entrepreneurs, hosting job fairs, planning GED and English-language initiatives, or managing professional development workshops, my heart is always to empower people with practical tools that create lasting change.I also have the privilege of leading our L.A.S.H. Women's Ministry, where we partner with community organizations to encourage, equip, and serve women and families with practical expressions of God's love.Known for her passion, energy, and authenticity, Pastor Trish is a gifted communicator and motivational speaker, specializing in topics related to business, relationships, and personal growth. Her heart for people and unwavering commitment to spiritual and practical development make her a trusted voice in both ministry and the marketplace.
I’m a proud graduate of the University of Michigan and Rhema Bible Training College, as well as a Certified Maxwell Leader. When I'm not teaching or speaking, you'll probably find me traveling, enjoying the outdoors, swimming, discovering a great restaurant, or spending time with the people I love. Above all, my greatest joy is watching people experience love, living by faith, increasing with truth, and realizing real transformation and purpose… ultimately bringing glory to God through lives that truly flourish.
