Where Passion & Purpose Collide
This sweet gal and I actually go back about 30 years, all the way to St. George’s School in Windhoek, Namibia. We reconnected several years ago through Facebook, but have grown closer over the past 3 years as we’ve worked together on my books (she’s been an incredible editor and encourager – who also happened to help Deborah Kirsten with her gorgeous book). All the way… Read More
I met this feisty female several years ago when she was MCing an event I was speaking at..and she may or may not have been wearing massive amounts of camo and rhinestones at the time. I quickly fell in love with her sassiness, along with her delightful sense of style. She’s a wife, mom & grandma, and a well-loved speaker & author. Meet Marlene…… Read More
When I joined the Influence Network last year, this lovely young lady stood out to me immediately. Her quiet confidence and gracious leadership were disarming and refreshing. And her Instagram feed is totally drool worthy. A wife, teacher & passionate foodie, I had the honor of squeezing her in the flesh for the first time last month at our local Influence meet-up….

I met this gorgeous gal a few years ago, when our husbands worked together briefly, and have watched from a distance as she’s walked through uncertainty and loss with a fierce and unrelenting faith. Her story of hope amidst heartbreak so powerfully tells of a God who “takes the broken pieces and makes them beautiful” [Ecclesiastes 3:11]. Meet Jenn… What’s your story, morning glory? In January… Read More
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 us to shine his Light… Read More
If you know much about my story and the broken road I’ve walked, you’ll know that I have a fire in my bones when it comes to the subject of sexual intimacy and marriage. So people like Julie Sibert thrill me to pieces. She’s made it her mission to candidly and graciously tackle this subject from a biblical perspective, and… Read More
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 daughter is our little one… Read More
If you’re a spiritually-driven female entrepreneur and haven’t heard of Grit & Virtue, allow me to introduce you to your new best friend… Being a business owner, solopreneur or creative professional – while exhilarating – can be an incredibly lonely journey. G&V has set out to change all that. I love their vision and mission, their creativity and presentation, and the… Read More
I had become an expert secret keeper. I’d been swept up so fast, and so young, in a whirlwind of self-destructive behavior that the only way to keep breathing was to keep pretending everything was alright. And so I built walls of deception and lies in a desperate effort to keep the world from seeing the real me. The sad,… Read More
I am so enjoying life right now. Soaking in my little ones. Chillin’ with my man. Connecting with family and friends. Digging into some really interesting books {3 paragraphs at a time}. Purging my cupboards and the forgotten corners of my house and shipping boxes off to Goodwill. Occasionally trying new recipes – just because I want to, or sitting… Read More
Happy Sunday, friends! And what a gorgeous day it is up in our neck of the woods. You’ll find this week’s guest post right here, At The Well
When we pick up gorgeous, deep red leaves from the ground during fall, or catch the intricacies of the perfect snowflake on a black-sweatered arm in the chill of winter, it is here that we cultivate an awe for our Creator in their tender hearts. In chalk Bible stories sketched out on the driveway, alongside scribbled hop scotch squares. Or… Read More
