0012 – Chris Burkley

Chris Burkley and his wife Meagan have an amazing, hard, beautiful story of trusting God through tragedy. They are one of the first people God prompted me about to pursue for the Restory Show. How Our Stories Intersected Chris and I have been in the same circles in our church for a while now. My […]

You Don’t Have to Be a Good Little Girl Anymore

I recently took a walk in our local park just as the leaves were starting to emerge. I looked up, then felt that familiar pang that God was trying to say something to me. I remembered those teenagers when I was five. And for once I didn’t remember what they did. I remembered what I […]

0011 – Amy Young

What I appreciate about Amy Young: She is real. So real. And she loves Jesus in the midst of that authenticity. Plus, she’s an amazing writer. How Our Stories Intersected I first met Amy at ReWrite, a writers conference in Austin. There we shared a great breakfast and talked about missions. She had been in […]

Writers and Speakers: Do we need a New Kind of Mentorship?

I wonder… if people who want to share a Jesus-message have mentors who will steer them toward the kingdom of God rather than the kingdom of the way things work in this world. I wonder… if perhaps we’re chasing after advice that seems to be logical but emaciates the soul. I’m grateful that there are […]

0010 – Heidi VanDyken

Heidi VanDyken loves Jesus. Of all the things I can say about her, this one stands out. She also follows Him to rough places, placing obedience higher than comfort. She is one of my heroes. How Our Stories Intersected I first met Heidi in college. She was on my wing, and we soon became friends, […]

My Favorites: Lenten art 2016

I’ve continued my practice from last year of creating something rather than giving up something for Lent. For us, the Lent season started with loss, as my husband lost his job (and we continue walking in that reality). So much of what I processed with art had to do with worry, surrender, trusting God, and […]

009 – Becky Smith Shaffer

Becky Smith Shaffer is one of my most favorite people in this world. She has a crazy story, but that craziness has translated into an amazing ministry called Saving Grace, where she and her staff walk alongside girls who have aged out of the foster system in northwest Arkansas. How Our Stories Intersected I first […]

The Day I Met Jesus–Just $1.99

I’m grateful Baker Books is running a promotion on the book I wrote with Frank Viola entitled The Day I Met Jesus. It’s just in time to download for Easter! Learn about five encounters with Jesus, told through the eyes of women. These are actual women from the New Testament, women with stories and heartaches […]

Hurting? Find someone to Encourage

Last week I had one of those DAYS. A day where circumstances went zonkers and my fragile heart (from our circumstances of late) nearly broke. In that moment, I remembered the advice of someone, somewhere on the Internet. May have been a meme. Might have seen it on Instagram. I’m not sure. But it went […]
