Hi, I’m AJ.
I write about prayer, becoming more whole in Christ, everyday discipleship, and family life.
Alongside essays, you’ll also find free kid’s Bible studies, book lists, and a living conversation about growing more confident in sharing your work.
I love helping connect one reader to another, so if you’re trying to find your people on Substack, explore these growing Community Directories.
And because I’m endlessly curious, you’ll begin to find deep dives into authors, Substack writers, books, and ideas that have shaped the way I think and live.
Outside of Substack, I also create speech-sound story quests, whimsical allegories, and early-reader adventure stories for families.
At the heart of it all is a story of God bringing me from darkness to light, so I can’t help but write about hope, transformation, grace, and the reality that no person is too far gone for God to reach. More than anything, my passion is sharing Jesus with my whole heart.
You can generally expect to hear from me every other Tuesday at 7:07am, with occasional bonus posts and resources sprinkled in when time and life allow.
I also occasionally host Virtual Substack meetups for thoughtful conversation, and encouragement. Sign up here if you’d like to hear about future gatherings as dates open up.
Whether you’re here for faith, family, creativity, books, Substack conversations, or simply trying to live a little more intentional in the middle of ordinary life, I’m glad you’re here.
