A MINISTRY IS BORN
I’m officially a ministry-mama and a TEEEEENSY bit excited about it. Also I am clueless, so there’s that. 🤣🙃😂 Can I just tell you that this whole thing IS A SURPRISE TO ME TOO, Y’ALL?! I never imagined this would be a path God would lead me down, but here we are: I done went and…

I’M EXPECTING!
(A MINISTRY BABY, THAT IS.) As many of you know (especially if you follow me on Instagram,) I have been hard at work launching a new ministry. I am equal parts terrified and giddy about it, and have been posting weekly updates over on my IG page every Friday. Here is last week’s 2 minute…

Don’t shoot the messenger, y’all. This is a tough teaching. But chances are, you either have struggled with this, are wrestling with it a bit now, or know someone who has/is. I am in Ephesians 5:18 today and it hurts a little. In this clip, I share some shocking statistics and tell the truth about…

LIVE AS LIGHT
I, a poet, will now attempt to explain theology through science. (What could possibly go wrong?) I hope the imagery makes sense and would love to hear your thoughts on the topic. Whaddaya think? Was this helpful or confusing? Freeing or frustrating? How might this affect the way you pursue God and love others?🤔👇🌖 In…

Pursue Your Purpose
Scripture tells us that we are purposed for God’s glory, and Ephesians 5 specifically tells us that we are purposed to walk in love, live as light, and love in unity. But how in the heck are we supposed to do those things? Has God purposed us for the impossible? Yes and no. It’s the…

on finish lines and next steps
Holy guacamole. I graduated from Seminary, y’all. And let me tell you something: It ain’t for sissies. It is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done and also one of most enriching experiences I will likely ever have. HOW WAS IT? …you ask. To be honest, I went in with more than a little…

a very good place to start
Before I repost some of my other favorite pieces, it makes sense to first retell the story of how this journey as The Jesus Gypsy began. It is, quite frankly, my very favorite story to tell anyway (I am a sucker for good love and redemption stories, and this one is both.) 😉 Plus, I believe that when we…

once upon a time
HOWDY STRANGER!!! Hope you are well. I was thinking about you this morning and deeply missing the good ol’ days when I got to use my words for CREATING and CONNECTING instead of GRADING and GPA-ING. As you might remember, I used to do quite a bit of writing here and even had a few…

that time I was accidentally creepy
I once used salsa to try to bribe a girl into being my friend. No, this wasn’t some 4th grade will you sit with me at the lunch table kind of thing. But it was a I think you are super cool and awesome and I would like to be your friend and I heard that…

radical
I’m a “you’re not the boss of me” kind of girl. I always have been. I am the girl who, growing up, did the exact opposite of what I was told, every. single. time. Lessons are learned well but the hard way when you live life like that. I do not naturally have an obedient…
