Profile Information

I'm a wife, mom, author, speaker and musician who loves encouraging audiences and readers (especially my fellow moms) to lean hard into Jesus...and not take themselves too seriously. Writing is a calling and a passion, and I have written hundreds of articles for magazines, newspapers, anthologies, blogs, and websites. I currently serve as a Contributing Editor for The High Calling and feel blessed to be part of such a stellar organization.

My first book, Grace for the Race: Meditations for Busy Moms, has just been re-released as an e-book and is available on Amazon. My sixth book, Wounded Women of the Bible (Kregel), will be released July 1st.

In my spare time, I love to cook, decorate, read, and spend time with my family and friends. Past jobs I've had (which give me never-ending writing material) include communications director for a non-profit, professional actress, magazine intern, editorial assistant, missionary, legal secretary, drama teacher, and ranch hand. When time permits, I enjoy leading worship for women's groups, mentoring other aspiring authors, and teaching.
