Danielle BiddyMy name is Danielle Biddy and I live with my husband and two bulldogs in North Georgia. I am an occupational therapist working with children with special needs. Our daughter Caroline was born in March of 2019, but passed away three months later due to a brain injury sustained in the womb. Her beautiful, short life taught me so many lessons about being a mom of faith, including lessons of overcoming trials by relying on hope, gratitude, and love for our Savior. We are now expecting our rainbow baby, a little boy named Jace. We look forward to watching God’s plan to continue to unfold for our lives.

Last year I became a Gigi, and I am completely enamored with my granddaughter, Grey. I am a retired teacher of special education students, and enjoy spending time outside reading, playing tennis, and walking. I've walked with Christ for many years now, but continue to be amazed at the new things I learn as I read His Word each day, and look forward to sharing those things with you.

Wendy GerdesHi! I'm Wendy Gerdes and I live in Omaha, Nebraska with my family. John and I have been married for twenty years and we have three teens plus a twelve year old who keep us busy. I always say every stage is my favorite, but this stage really IS my favorite! On a quiet day, I can usually be found reading or writing. Hiking, traveling, and spending time with family and friends are also favorite pastimes. I am most passionate about learning and writing about God's heart for us. When we begin to see his heart for us and towards us, it changes everything!

Laura PendleyHello! My name is Laura Pendley. I am a wife, foster mama, and Special Education teacher. Writer has served as an incredible outlet for me through the years as we have walked through infertility and into foster care. Our journey hasn't been easy, but the Lord has used it to grow us in ways we never thought possible. I am passionate about foster care and providing resources and support for children and families in need. I hope through sharing my own experiences, I can encourage other women to lean into Jesus and trust in His perfect plan for their life.

Martha RudolphHi, I'm Martha Rudolph! I have been married for 14 years to my husband, John. We live Northwest of Atlanta with our four children, ages 13, 11, 6 and 6 (yes, that's right— twins!). Our family is on a journey that continues to teach me about God's love and faithfulness on the mountaintop, in the valley, and everywhere in between. I love being outside, sipping coffee, and finding quiet moments to steal away and write about how God reveals Himself through the course of everyday life.

Anne B. SayHi! I'm Anne Say. My husband and I have a blended family of five adult children (five sons and daughters-in-love), and nine grandchildren! I am a retired teacher (and former office manager). These days I get to combine all of my experience into helping people make sense of life and faith. God has called me to people who are stuck in their faith and who've lost their sense of identity. I help people make sense of the past, see clearly in the present, and catch a vision for the future.

Katelyn WilsonHi, I'm Katelyn Wilson! I live in Springfield, MO with my husband Michael and our two daughters, Quincy (3) and Landry (1). I worked as a pediatric physical therapist until a year ago when Landry was diagnosed with a rare and devastating genetic disorder. Motherhood has been a pain-laden journey through miscarriages, foster care, and now navigating life as a medical mom and advocate FOR LANDRY. I am learning how to mother and find joy in a life so very different from the one I planned. The only easy part is pointing to the all-encompassing deliverance and hope we find in Jesus.
