After working in the transportation industry for 13 years, Julie Anne Smith noticed services not being provided to truck drivers. Therefore, it became apparent that others need to understand the difficulties truck drivers face daily. It became a passion for her to explain and provide information on the transportation industry that is beneficial to helping others. She completed her bachelor's degree in theology at Apex School of Theology in Charlotte, NC. After completing her bachelor's degree, Smith attended Charlotte Chrisitan College and Theological Seminary in Charlotte, NC, where she was blessed to complete her Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry.

Julie's current publications include a manuscript, "How to Develop a Truck Stop Ministry," and this book, "Biblical Counseling, Essential to The Development of a Truck Stop Ministry." As the world continues to evolve, it's essential to continue to spread knowledge while helping others. Along with working in the transportation industry, she works with Charlotte Christian College and Theological Seminary doctoral program as the Dissertation Professor.
