I wrote Outside God’s Umbrella to share the truth of my journey, the brokenness, and the redemption I found when I finally surrendered. This book isn’t just my story; it’s a message of hope for anyone who’s ever felt too far gone. Writing it was healing. Sharing it is purpose.
Fitness has always been part of my life, but KJ-Fitt was born from the desire to coach others with more than just reps and routines. As a certified trainer and nutrition coach, I help people move intentionally—fueling their bodies, building strength, and restoring confidence from the inside out.
My journey hasn’t been picture-perfect. I’ve walked through grief, guilt, and grace. What may have looked like failure to others, God was shaping into a foundation for purpose. Every hard moment became part of the groundwork for something greater—and now I get to help others rise, too. Because healing is real. Change is possible. And you are never too far gone to begin again.
In Outside God’s Umbrella, debut author Kelly Jansens Mensch shares a compelling story of redemption, resilience, and the transformative power of faith.
