Reframe your quiet time from duty to delight
Time spent with God shouldn’t feel like you’re checking off a task from your to-do list each day. Instead, it should be the greatest delight of your life. Grounded in God’s Word, The Pursuit of Holy Leisure guides you through the everyday places where God’s Word comes alive and meets you with the leisure and rest you need most.
RELEASES MARCH 17, 2026!
I’m also a wife, mom to four, writer, and a business owner who’s trying to keep my emails under control, and squeeze in a nap every once in awhile. My discovery of holy leisure not only changed my relationship with the Lord, but it also got my creative juices flowing.
Holy leisure is about finding rest, but discovering it actually prompted me to get busy writing. This site is dedicated to encouraging everyday people like you to enjoy God more. Here you’ll find gospel-saturated devotionals and ways to connect with a like-minded community. I’m so honored that you’re here.
