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.

The Most Hazardous Shopping Trip Ever

By now you know that I take God’s Word seriously.  I want you to also know that I don’t take myself too seriously.  Life in a fallen world can be heavy and painful, which must be answered with Defiant Praise.  I think it also warrants purposeful seeking of laughter and levity,…

Our Good

The dawning of a new year brings optimism to my perspective that isn’t normally there. I find myself eager and undaunted by the enormity of my goals.  While it’s true that we have opportunity to make changes and set goals every day, the January 1 juncture catalyzes my review of…

Reliance

The road wended its way toward home, with the river and its steep, rocky embankment on the left.  First a slight drizzle, then a light, pretty snow. I was relaxed after some time away with my sister and felt at ease on the roads. I was driving our reliable-but-aged SUV…

Not Even Eyelids

He was perched atop his booster seat, at the table in my kitchen, hair wild from a nap and up to his elbows in raisins.  I was full-time Auntie for the weekend, while my sister and her husband were away.  In his parents’ absence, my nephew came to me for…

It’s all good

It’s all good.  Or, is it? Culturally, we’re hung up on the concept of ‘good.’  Companies like Yoplait and Life is Good hinge their slogans and even their very name on the word.  Our vernacular employs it to connote anything that is positive, pleasurable, or profitable.  It’s become an arbitrary…

Tangled

Muffled whimpers escaped the closed bathroom door.  It was past the time when she was due downstairs for the morning, so I’d gone upstairs to check on Boo.  This darling daughter o’ mine is a basketful of surprises:  I had no idea what I’d find when I opened the door. …
