Ready to grow in your faith?

Me, too.  I'd love to share what I'm learning with you.

Here you'll find a collection of blog posts and articles to encourage you on the journey of faith. I hope you'll drop me a line if one of them is particularly helpful.

 

Can I offer that encouragement in person (or virtually)? Let's discuss your needs for a retreat or conference speaker. (Visit my speaking page for additional details and sample messages.)

 

And I've included a variety of other resources to equip you as well, including a free Bible study download, links to all my Our Daily Bread articles, and links to my other published blog posts and books.

 

Dig in, friend! I'm glad you're here.

Free Bible study

To equip you on the journey of faith. 

He is... therefore i am

Is there a difference between what your mind knows to be true about God and what your heart seems to believe?

The He is... therefore i am Bible study (co-authored with Julie Turner) examines six attributes of God's character and encourages participants to embrace the corresponding truths in their own lives.

The free e-book available for download. Printed copies of 10 or more also available by request.

When is your next retreat or conference?

I have been speaking professionally for more than two decades. I still love every minute of serving ministries through spoken messages. Please check out my speaking page to discover some of the topics I'm often asked to address either as a keynote or workshop.

Maybe you or your event speakers need some support crafting and delivering their messages? I've coached TEDx speaker slates and ministry conference speakers and I'd love to come alongside your efforts as a coach, too.

Use the button below to schedule a time for us to chat so I can learn more about your event.

Kirsten's teaching was always well researched, but more importantly, it was delivered with a personal touch that drew her listeners in and helped them apply the Word in their daily lives.

Falling Fresh

She seemed glazed and disconnected. As I sat on the edge of her bed, my daughter expressed a lack of desire to spend time in Sunday school, youth group and even small group. Her complaint: boredom. The same stories. The same lessons. The same characters. Yawn. She’s right. We read…

In the dark. But never alone.

The night must have seemed exceptionally dark. In Genesis 32, we find  Jacob fleeing his uncle Laban and returning to his homeland to face the brother he’d deceived many years prior. He was fearful of this fated reunion, dividing his family and property into groups to prevent losing them all…

On the Court: Part II

In last week’s post, my daughter’s basketball game illustrated the necessity of training our ears to hear God’s voice amidst the noise of our busy lives. The players on the court attuned themselves to their coach’s words and responded accordingly.   The faith illustration didn’t stop there for me, however.…

Rejected

My skin isn’t thick enough. Because I’m in my early 40’s you might expect me to have the emotional capacity to shrug off feelings of rejection. But I don’t. At least not all the time. A series of events colluded against my heart over the last few weeks: I’ve recently…

First Light

I wasn’t sure I liked what it said. My pastor suggested reading Psalm 63 as a daily practice during Lent. I embarked on it with anticipation, certain that I’d have the whole thing memorized by Easter just from reading it consistently. Day in and day out, I was pricked by…

Before Joy

As Christians who live in light of our Messiah’s resurrection, I think we often gloss over all that the Lord endured in the days between Palm Sunday and Easter. While Jesus’ redeeming sacrifice on the cross is difficult to meditate on, such awareness is necessary in order to appreciate the…
