purposeful & authentic living
Sharing hope for everyday life – from the mundane to the messy.
Shining light on what matters most by empowering and equipping others to do whatever it is they are here to do, well, for the benefit of those we love & serve.
Resourcing & Connections (aka Events)
If you know me AT ALL, you’d know I love sharing and resourcing people with what’s going on. Lately, my interests are about chaplaincy, preaching, women in ministry, spiritual formation or spiritual direction, leadership, and various justice issues (immigration, faith freedom, anti-racism, ecology/ climate-change). Come and join me in these online/in-person learning events. I’d love to have conversation about what we learned!
Spiritual Direction
I’ve learned empathetic listening from various perspectives: counseling, chaplaincy, and spiritual direction as well as from being a mom, wife, sister, daughter, friend, and neighbor. I’ve combined all these skills and am making myself available to you as a trained spiritual director. Let’s talk and see if working with me is a good fit for you and your inner journey.
Pulpit Supply Preaching
I’m excited every time I get to study the Word of God with a specific body of people in mind. I pray that the Spirit of God would direct me as I do my diligence in research and prayer. These are my engagements (upcoming and previous) posted below. I share because they are markers of my growth as a preacher and maybe someone else might see them and be encouraged in their walk with God.

Prayer For the Chosen sermon from Ephesians 1:15-23
Who’s chosen? You! You who trust in God- you are the chosen one. Paul, the writer of Ephesians, shares a prayer for those he identified at the start of his letter. He has a great hope for these people and lets them know he has some specific prayers for them. I also have great hope…

Life After the Cross sermon from Acts 2:42-47
Life after the cross wasn’t ‘business as usual.’ They couldn’t go back to the ways that things used to be – not after all they had witnessed and been through with Jesus. The people we refer to now as the early church began to live together with even more intention and purpose. Their actions affected…
