I live in Southern California with my husband, three kids, and our dog. I serve as a chaplain and adjunct Bible professor at a private Christian institution and I'm a Church of Christ pastor. Preaching and writing are two of my greatest passions, followed closely by community, theology, cooking, and traveling. 

I earned a BA in Psychology from UCDavis, an MDiv at Abilene Christian University, and I'm currently working on a Doctor of Ministry in Missional and Spiritual Formation at Lipscomb University.
