My Story

One life,
guided by two heavens

Few people have looked at the night sky the way Dr. Keosha Maxey has — first through the disciplined eyes of a United States Marine, then through the precise lens of a planetary scientist, and always through the reverent heart of a servant of God.

Holding a Ph.D. in Astronomy with a specialization in Planetary Science and a Ph.D. in Theology, Dr. Maxey stands at a rare crossroads: where rigorous science and living faith meet — and find no contradiction, only wonder.

“The same hands that formed the planets are the hands reaching for every lost soul on our streets.”

Since 2009, she has carried that conviction beyond the laboratory and the pulpit — into the streets and into the prisons — through Kneeling Before His Throne Outreach Ministries, founded on a simple, unwavering mission: capturing one soul at a time, returning it back to the Father.

The Journey

From the stars
to the streets

Service

United States Marine Corps

Discipline, honor, and sacrifice — the foundation of everything that followed. A veteran who learned early that true strength is strength in service of others.

Science

Ph.D. in Astronomy & Planetary Science

Years devoted to studying the architecture of the cosmos — planets, motion, and the elegant order written into creation itself.

Scripture

Ph.D. in Theology

The pursuit of the Author behind the order. A second doctorate, devoted not to the heavens — but to the One who made them.

2009 — Present

Kneeling Before His Throne Outreach Ministries

Pastor and Founder. Street ministry. Prison ministry. One soul at a time, returned back to the Father.

The Ministry

Restoring Lives Through Christ

Founded in 2009, Kneeling Before His Throne Outreach Ministries is a ministry of presence — meeting people where the world has left them. On the street corners. Behind prison walls. In hospital rooms and quiet places most walk past, this ministry kneels.

“Capturing one soul at a time, returning it back to the Father.”

We see you. We value you. You matter. Every act of giving carries this work further — another meal, another visit, another life reminded that it is seen, known, and loved.
