Resources That Helped Shape My Faith Journey
If you've spent any time on my blog, you know I love sharing stories about faith, healing, travel, and the many ways God has worked in my life.
But the truth is, I didn't get here on my own.
Over the years, God has used Bible studies, books, conferences, prayer journals, worship music, and godly teachers to encourage me through some of the hardest seasons of my life. Through fibromyalgia, depression, uncertainty, wilderness seasons, healing journeys, road trips, and moments when I desperately needed God's direction, these resources helped point me back to Jesus.
This page is a collection of some of my favorite faith resources—the studies, books, tools, and teachers that have challenged me, encouraged me, and helped me grow closer to the Lord.
Whether you're a brand-new believer, returning to your faith after years away, or simply looking for fresh encouragement, I pray you'll find something here that strengthens your relationship with Christ.

My Prayer for You
No matter where you are in your faith journey, my prayer is that these resources help you grow closer to Jesus.

May His Word become alive to you. May your prayer life grow stronger. May your faith become deeper. And may you experience the peace, freedom, healing, and joy that can only be found in Christ.
With love,
