Maria Wallen

Maria Wallen lives in beautiful Santa Cruz, California, and has journeyed through life enjoying a variety of Christian ministries—as a youth leader in camps/churches/Young Life; church staffer at the Shoreline Church of San Clemente; and alongside her husband Danny (Standing Stone Shepherd) in over 33 years of ministry (Christian camps, parachurch/non-profit, churches). Maria has enjoyed the richness of relationships built with women and couples along the way—as a mentor, counselor, encourager, and praying friend. Maria and Danny have great passion and compassion to see and help ministry leaders live healthy, honest, balanced lives—yoked up with their relaxed Great Shepherd, Jesus. Currently, Maria works full-time in a public safety career, so she will serve with Standing Stone and Danny as she's able. She is thrilled knowing Danny will be using his God-made gifts of encouragement, leadership and wisdom to pour into Christian leaders in creative and transforming ways. Maria is also grateful to live near her three adult children, their spouses, and grandchildren.
