0013 – Ocieanna Fleiss
Ocieanna Fleiss is one of the most tender, sweet people I know on this earth. And she has a very surprising story. How Our Stories Intersected Ocieanna was in my novel mentoring class at Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference a few years ago. She writes fiction, and now she has a new book out about […]

How to Get Wise: A Wee Wednesday Devotional
Proverbs 4:8 says: “Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you.” The “her” in this verse is wisdom personified. Prior to this, we learn that wisdom comes from fearing (revering) God. Wisdom is something anyone can pursue—God gives it freely. But this verse uses two tender, yet compelling words […]

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 […]
