Pastor | Author | Bible teacher | Speaker | Podcaster

As the founder and President of Trochia Ministries, a Christian discipleship ministry, Inés seeks to provide resources designed to equip and encourage believers to develop genuine, mature, and resilient faith. She is a Teaching pastor at Mariners Church, where she preaches sermons and writes/teaches theology and discipleship courses. Inés is the author of Uncharted: Navigating Your Unique Journey of Faith.

Like the Apostle Paul, after Inés’ own life transformation in Christ at the age of 40, helping Christians mature in their faith has become her life’s work. Inés completed a Master of Divinity at Fuller Seminary. She serves on non-profit boards, such as Priority Living, Forum of Christian Business Leaders, and THINQ. Inés and her husband James Franklin own and manage a commercial real estate business, Watercress Holdings LLC. They have a blended family of five children and nine grandchildren (affectionally called the “Franklin Smoothie”) and live in Irvine, California.
