Meet the Founder

Hi, I’m Nikesha Gardner, founder of God Pursued.

God Pursued was birthed from my own journey of being called, corrected, healed, and pursued by God. I did not create this space because I have everything figured out. I created it because God has been teaching me, shaping me, and drawing me closer to Him — even in seasons where I felt unsure, stretched, afraid, or unqualified.

For much of my journey, I have carried a desire to live for God, to understand His Word, and to walk in His will, but I also know what it feels like to struggle with obedience, healing, identity, waiting, and surrender. God has met me in those places with grace and truth, and He continues to do a work in me day by day.

Through God Pursued, my heart is to encourage women who are seeking God, returning to Him, or learning how to walk with Him in their everyday lives. This is a space for women who want more than surface-level faith. It is for women who desire to grow spiritually, align their lives with God’s Word, and become who He has called them to be.

My prayer is that every resource, Bible study, reflection, and message shared here points you back to God. Not to perfection. Not to performance. Not to comparison. But to the One who loved you first, pursued you first, and continues to call you closer.

Welcome to God Pursued. I’m honored you’re here.
