About me...
Hi. I'm Jennifer (the J in JL). I’m an author and Bible teacher currently wandering the globe with my husband, Justin, and our two daughters, London and Eve. I've written seven books:
A Grief Received: What to Do When Loss Leaves You Empty Handed
Swallowed Up: A story about how my brother died. And I didn’t
Think Good: How to Get Rid of Anxiety, Guilt, Despair and the Like to Finally Find Peace of Mind
Prayer, In Practice, a workbook to help you pray more and better
Passionate about looking for "the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living" (Psalm 27:13), I also publish a biweekly email called "The Goodness." You can subscribe HERE.
I've been writing and teaching about God since my first church Ladies' Day at the age of nine. I speak at events, lead Bible studies, make videos, lead parenting workshops with my husband, and write Bible study curriculum and devotional materials. I’ve previously worked as the Storytelling Minister for the Round Rock Church of Christ, as a newspaper journalist, and as a college lecturer in World Literature and composition (I have an MA in English literature). Not to brag but… two years ago I served as the emergency interim president of my kids’ PTA.
My husband, Justin, is the creator of Holy Ghost Stories, a popular podcast telling the weird and wonderful stories of the Old Testament.
Also important: I'm an INFJ, lover of chai tea lattes, believer in the power of white paint, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer fangirl. I am both bookish and outdoorsy. I grew up in coastal Florida, but I’ve lived all over including Alabama, New York City, Tennessee, Austin, TX, the south coast of England, Cape Town, South Africa, Northern Ireland, and now Northwest Arkansas. I take a walk with my family every single day.
I like that my initials pronounced aloud sound like Jael, the lady who drove a stake into the head of the enemy of God. That about sums it up.
