I'm totally #thatmom--the one diving into all the weirdness with my kids, sidestepping a few eyerolls.

Pull up a chair for practical ideas and discussions on the parenting, relationships, and spirituality we're all army-crawling through every day.

After five and a half years in Uganda, my family and I returned to the U.S., where I write and speak professionally, and we continue to work on behalf of the poor.

My first solo book, Permanent Markers: Spiritual Life Skills to Write on Your Kids' Hearts (Harvest House), released October 2021.
