More About Angie:

Angie Baughman is a licensed pastor, Bible teacher, author, podcaster, and founder of Steady On Ministries. She is the creator of the Step By Step Bible study method and the leader of Steady On University, an online community helping women grow in biblical knowledge and spiritual confidence.

At sixteen, Angie was groomed into a romantic relationship with a high school teacher and later faced community rejection when she shared her story. Over time, it was God’s Word and the practice of studying His promises that helped her break free from the shame that tried to define her. Today, she equips others to experience the same freedom through consistent, meaningful time in Scripture.
