Hey friend! I'm excited to meet you! I live in Portland, OR and completely love city life. My hubby and I have been married for 10 years and still completely adore each other. I am a Jesus follower who is passionate about building up the local church and developing healthy communities. It's so nice of you to stop by! So grab a coffee or a glass of wine, and hang out a bit.

Coming to your inbox this Friday! AKA TOMORROW! 😃I’m so excited to share with you some Thanksgiving spiritual practices that I am incorporating this month to help alleviate the every day anxiety I experience which happens to get a little worse around the busy holidays. Sign up for my newsletter at the link in bio! ☝️#thecourageclub #newsletter
I met this angel while wading hip-deep in clutter and garbage. We were professional organizers for the same small company and never would I have expected this woman to be a literal life-saver from a job I was drowning in. Burned out and underpaid, I worked my butt off only to be told to work more in the most spiritualized, manipulative way possible. I admit I also contributed to the burn-out by over spiritualizing my staying instead of being honest with myself about reality. Isn’t this what we do?! We doubt our pain, as if we are not allowed to struggle especially within a Christian context. Instead, we convince ourselves that we should “stick it out” because why? It’s the Christian thing to do? How ridiculous! If you are in a job that is causing you pain, you get to leave. You will find another job. You don’t have to stay and rationalize your burn-out. If you’re burned out, you’re burned out. That’s your reality but it doesn’t have to be your ongoing, future state of things. You are not sinning if you leave. God is with you, loves you, and will guide you elsewhere. Listen to your pain and trust in His love for you. #youcanleave #dowhatyoulove
Has all this short hand writing ruined my ability to write long hand? #300wordmax I’m sitting here trying to write a piece that is only 1000-2000 words and I am done around 900! 🙈 Where are the rest of my words?! Has this become the same as our inability to read classically large novels? Any of you feeling me?! #hopewriterlife **2 hours later after writing this initial post** I wrote 400 more words! Man, that was harder then expected! Like writing is some kind of job that I can’t quite until it’s break time. 😜🤦🏼‍♀️ #discipline #dowhatyoulove #evenwhenyouhateitsometimes 📷 @bernardhermantunsplash
Posting this photo because I simply want to move past the last. Sometimes there are no profound words to communicate we’ve moved on. Sometimes it’s just the simple forward movements, unseen by the world that propel us onward. No writing in the sky needed. That was painful for a moment but that moment has past. Moving on. #bravingforward
Thanks for the extra motivation, John! You tried to silence one of the greatest teachers @bethmoorelpm and instead, sparked a fire for a hundred new ones. 🔥🔥🙎🏻‍♀️🔥🙎🏼‍♀️🔥🙎🏽‍♀️🔥🙎🏾‍♀️🔥🙎🏿‍♀️🔥🔥 Those who may have felt they didn’t have a voice, found that it was there all along just waiting to be provoked. Well, it’s provoked, my brother! 😧😑🎤 So thank you because we aren’t going home. We’re going to our Homiletics class at 8 am with a large cup of coffee in hand☕️ learning to PREACH. THE. WORD. I see no need to dive into the arguments for female teachers in the church. There’s a lot out there already, I know them well. But here’s the point: Some of my closest sisters and brothers fall on a different side as myself on this issue but we are still friends. We are not assholes to one another. We can disagree in love and still be partners in the Gospel. So it would be best for you to remember that this is God’s Church, not yours. And His Church is not in trouble. Oh yeah, and some of us also know Greek and Hebrew.😱 #nopenotgoinghome #goingtohomiletics #fourmorewomen #preachitsister — If you have zero clue as to what I’m talking about, it’s probably better that way. Just keep going, sister! Keep writing, keep teaching, keep chasing after that dream! #bravingforward
This Monday is brought to you by the Feminarian’s coffee hour and cute dog pics! See more in stories 👆 #midterms #dogparks #ingrideaton @jetblackcoffeecompany
You are still a pastor, even if you don’t hold the title. You are still a minister of the gospel, even if your church doesn’t pay you. You are still a teacher, even if you’re only allowed to teach women. Don’t let a title determine your gifting and define your calling. You have the choice to leave. You also have the choice to stay. But don’t let the enemy name you. You have one and only title that matters: beloved. - #pastorappreciationmonth #fourmorewomeninthepulpit #womenpastors #womeninministry 📷 @nicolehoneywill_sincerelymedia . . . . . #shetheroar #inspiredwomen #handandhustle #dreambig #sheislight #thatsdarling #thehappynow #gritandvirtue #propelwomen #purposefulliving #faith #womenoffaith #bravingforward #finditliveit #dreamchaser #deeplyrooted #creativeminds #lovewhatyoudo #livelifefully
Make sure to pause this weekend, turn off your phone, and go pick some wild flowers for your table or a neighbor. #weekendvibes #optoutside #phonesdowneyesup
Ever wonder where some of your behaviors come from? There are just some things that make me pumped up and ready to participate, and other things that get me mad as a hornet! I never thought that I instinctively had a set of values that framed much of my behavior and responses to certain situations. I mean, I have googled “core values” probably 100 times because those words describe so much of our believes and behaviors. But the thought of just choosing just two felt daunting until I did it and frankly, it was pretty life changing. {OUT TOMORROW} Monthly Newsletter + Core Value Printable Worksheet! 🙌🏻 Sign up at the link in bio and discover your Courage Core! #thecouragecore #bravingforward . . . . . #shetheroar #inspiredwomen #handandhustle #dreambig #sheislight #thatsdarling #thehappynow #gritandvirtue #propelwomen #purposefulliving #faith #womenoffaith #finditliveit #dreamchaser #deeplyrooted #creativeminds #lovewhatyoudo #livelifefully
