In between loads of dishes, laundry, and library books, you’ll find me writing and recording content that applies timeless gospel truths to all of life.

When people ask me what I do, I always fumble around. Yes, I’m the cofounder and content director at Risen Motherhood and you might know me from Instagram or a conference stage. But my days are full of many different tasks and responsibilities! As a wife and a mom to five kids, I’m almost always prepping, cooking, or cleaning up after a meal, I’m trying to keep the kleenexes and toilet paper fully stocked, and I have my eye out for our next family read aloud. In the summer, I’m in the garden, pulling weeds and trimming flowers while the kids play in the yard, and in the winter, I’m tossing wood into our living room fireplace so that everyone can huddle up with a book. In every task and responsibility, I love seeing how the truth of scripture weaves its way through every moment of life. That’s why I write books and articles about Jesus, speaking and sharing about him as much as I can.

My first book, Risen Motherhood: Gospel Hope for Everyday Moments, was co-authored with my sister-in-law, Laura in 2019. With 100,000+ copies sold and translated into multiple languages, we now have a Deluxe edition of Risen Motherhood as well! This heirloom version includes extra chapters, a silk ribbon bookmark, and a linen and gold foil cover. It’s all of our book design dreams come true. 

You can see what I’m up to over on Instagram, but the best way to get the latest personal and ministry updates is in my monthly newsletter, Planting Season. 

To sum me up, I love a crackling fire, a deep conversation, and knowing that the kitchen is clean for the next morning. My greatest passion is knowing Christ and making him known—in my home, my community, and to the ends of the internet.
