BETHANY IN A NUTSHELL:
• I’ve been married to my favorite rockstar for over a decade
• I’m momma to our 3 beauties.
• I’m learning to press into my beloved identity as I speak it over those around me as we live and love in South Asia.
• I sadly slaughter this beautiful Asian tongue as I learn the heart language of my friends and neighbors.
• I am mustard seed, candle in the darkness, small…but I serve The One Who Created All Things – The Light of the World.
• As a recovering “good girl”, I have learned to be wildly inappropriate and am loving walking into the freedom that Jesus paid for.
• I am a vegetable buyer, editor, home-school co-op teacher, communicator, by-the-skin-of-my-teeth-designer, latte lover, and the girl who cries in the market when the tortilla chips magically return.
• I get choked up when parmesan cheese comes in a package from home, when I am confronted with the hard reality of nearly everyone we walk alongside, when my brave babies say goodbye to one side of the world and hello to another, when I say a sentence without mistakes, and when I hear Joy’s beautiful accent.

When Going Means Staying
We begged and pleaded with Papa to allow us to go. For years we took classes in missiology and theology and how-to-do-this-life-well-ology, sold our home, gave away our things, found an army of loved ones to partner with us and circled this vision of reaching the lost in constant prayer. We knew Papa had called […]
But She Is Also Brave
Tears sprang to my eyes without warning. I stood at the door wringing my hands like “those other” nervous moms do. My not yet 6 year old was leaving with her Daddy and our dear “Uncle” to give blankets to the cold, shoes to the shoeless and umbrellas to the roofless. Our oldest […]
A Letter To My Babes: Philippians Style
Sweet friends, you’re in for a treat! Allow me to introduce you to one of my favorite humans on the planet: Bethany. I met this amazing woman several years ago through a mutual friend (our bestie below on the left), and we’ve been mutually smitten ever since. Bethany is wise, she is kind, she is hilarious, and […]
