Earlier this week, the ERLC featured this video of my husband, Thern, and me discussing our marriage and the Lord’s faithfulness to us. We were honored to have the opportunity to document what the Lord has done and hope you’ll take a minute to watch.

Part of my desire to write Creative God, Colorful Us, was to help us teach the next generation. I feature chapters on the gospel, the image of God, sin and its effect on relationships, loving our neighbor, specifically those who do not look this us, and more.
