During my childhood, I spent one week of each sweltering Tennessee summer at my grandparents’ farm.  The end of dinner became a Master’s Class in storytelling, as my granddaddy would linger long to share stories that were Oscar-worthy. I cannot ever remember consciously declaring that I wanted to be a Storyteller, too, but I knew I wanted to be able to do what he did. Our StoryLetter and Dare to Be Awkward letters are how I carry that legacy forward.

We write and share two ongoing letters:

  • The StoryLetter — monthly reflections from our ministry and family life that invite readers to see God’s hand in both the sacred and the everyday.

  • Dare to Be Awkward Letter— practical encouragement for followers of Jesus learning to build authentic relationships in a post-Christian world.

Each issue is crafted to help you feel like you’re walking beside us—in the conversations, the challenges, and the moments of grace that shape this journey.

For a girl who likes a plan, life has given me plenty of surprises. The more I shared those experiences with others, I found my storytelling weaved a web of connectedness.  The story’s web connected to the listener emotionally, their senses to God’s reality, and provided an opportunity for them to experience Jesus in new and deeper ways. I realized, the stories God was giving me to tell were to grow His Kingdom and to draw people to the gospel.

I still love a good story, whether it is being told or read. Subconsciously, I believe I prayed for God to give me a life that always gave me new stories to tell.  So I hope you will sign up to follow along as we share the stories of our ministry life, family life, and everything else in between! Each story is written to leave you feeling inspired and encouraged.
