About Me

I am a pastor, wife, mother, seminary student and public speaker. My husband Bud and I co-lead the Ekklesia in Chattanooga, TN. 

I am passionate about empowering and encouraging women in their God-given vocations. I talk a lot about ways we can walk fully into the spaces we are called to. And I talk honestly about the struggles that women wrestle with, the subtle ways patriarchy continues to keep us down, and ways that we can subversively work against this damaging system.

I get excited about wrestling with scripture, dialoguing about the tough questions of the faith, and sharing the Good News that we are all members of New Creation Life in Christ.
