I love Jesus. I write to empower women to live out of their true identity and form their life by His words and ways.

Hello beloved sister.

Thanks for choosing to lean in and listen. Over the last 20 years, God has invited me to partner with Him in caring for and building up His daughters. I’ve led numerous bible studies, enjoyed discipling women as individuals or in small groups, and mentored young leaders.  I’ve wept alongside women experiencing excruciating loss and prayed with women clinging to their faith after “church hurt” or “church abuse.”  I’ve balanced a life of ministry while working as a pediatric physical therapist at a local children’s hospital and raising two daughters.

For many years, I was a pastor’s wife. Internally, I resisted that title. I didn’t match the stereotype that went with it. I was strong, outspoken and opinionated. I sensed that God wanted my gifts for His kingdom, in addition to my husbands. I uncovered a growing passion to see women rise up in leadership within the church.  My journey with God shifted as I deconstructed my church experiences while holding tightly to the Jesus I loved. I learned that a life of connection to Jesus produced abundant joy and genuine transformation. I gained the courage to embrace my truest identity as the Beloved. I reconstructed a life that more fully reflects life in His Kingdom.

When I look around me, I see women who are longing for an authentic faith, wrestling against the tide of culture, are worn out, even sometimes lonely and looking for other like-minded women. I hope to be a wise guide who can help her on the journey of building again. Reshaping the way she sees herself and what she believes about how God sees her. Restoring what has been lost, broken, or altered. Reforming how she spends her time, energy and resources.

I’ve shared my life for over 20 years with my husband, Greg. He has a master’s degree in Apologetics from Biola University. He’s an incredibly gifted teacher who pours his life into the discipleship of high school students. His favorite classes are Christian Worldview and the Life of Jesus. Together, we co-lead a house church through a network of house churches in Kansas City.

After years of struggling with infertility and loss, God gifted me two beautiful daughters. They are currently navigating the highs and lows of teenage life. And I adore them.

As a family, we love spending time boating on Grand Lake in Oklahoma, telling stories and eating S’mores around our backyard fire pit, making memories as we check off our summer bucket list, annual traditions, traveling to new places, and being each other’s biggest fans.

Senior night for volleyball was this week! My hear Senior night for volleyball was this week! My heart is full with gratitude! Grateful for so many people who love B that came out to celebrate her last home game! Thankful for these sweet friends who have grown up together. Thankful for B’s boyfriend who drove in from K-state to surprise her. Thankful for big heads held high and mini volleyballs tossed out into the crowd. But, most of all, I’m thankful for Brooklyn. The determined, strong player she has become. The encourager she is to her team mates. The joy she brings onto the court. I’m so proud of you @brooklyn.m.owens and I’ll miss being your loudest fan!!

Senior Sunday post in celebration of these two bea Senior Sunday post in celebration of these two beauties! Sara came bounding into our house the day we moved in 6 years ago and she quickly became part of our family. They’ve always gone to different schools and it was the sweetest gift for them to make a Senior year dance memory at Northwest’s homecoming last night! ❤️ It’s been a joy to watch these girls grow up in the neighborhood and their friendship is so special. Love you both so much @brooklyn.m.owens and @sara_granfors08

Such a sweet season of life! So, for this week’s #seniorsunday post, Brooklyn on her first day of preschool! 😭😭❤️❤️
You can find me serving pediatric patients on Tues You can find me serving pediatric patients on Tuesdays and Fridays at a new place! I’m excited to bring my expertise in development, torticollis, toe-walking and other gait deviations, cerebral palsy and many other neurological disorders to families needing personalized care. The crew @possabilities.kc has been so welcoming to me this month! If your child (or someone you know) needs pediatric PT, I’d be delighted for you to send them my way! ❤️
This girl has been playing volleyball since 4th gr This girl has been playing volleyball since 4th grade! She’s loved the game and it’s been a JOY to watch her gain skills over the years. As a senior, she is leading her team with encouragement, commitment to practice, and challenging each player to excel. It’s hard to imagine this is our last season in the stands. Keep at it B! I love watching you shine on and off the court! 🏐❤️ #seniorsunday #raisinggirls
We did it. We moved our girl into @johnbrownuniver We did it. We moved our girl into @johnbrownuniversity yesterday for the next season of her life. We had so much fun unpacking and organizing her dorm room, connecting with her roommate and her parents, and meeting her RA’s! I’ll hold onto the sweetest memories of praying over her in our hotel room and then, again, at the end of chapel. It was the hardest goodbye, all the tears reminding me of the deep love we have for Hailey. Joy and sadness can co-exist in this transition! 

I have no doubts that @hailey.gwynn.o is exactly where God wants her to be. She is ready to expand her wings and soar! God has you Hailey and you are so very loved!
