The world is filled with beauty, but for her that was another story. It took her years to discover her true beauty, to fully grasp she is made in the image of her Creator, and therefore, she is beautiful. The incredible thing is…so are you. You were marvelously made by God to inspire awe. No matter what the world tries to tell you, no matter what you try to tell yourself. No one can rob you of the incredible true identity God instilled in you.

Smith lives in the college town of Oxford, Ohio with her husband and four kids.Rebecca and Laura chat about:

In this episode, recording artist Micah Tyler and Rebecca chat about his new book Walking Free: Taking Small Steps To A Big God!
Songwriter and recording artist Micah Tyler writes, performs, and lives out "battle-tested" music that gives glory to his God. Micah is the recipient of multiple Dove and K-LOVE Award nominations, and has written four BMI Top 25 Christian Songs. Along with five number #1 radio hits, his song Different is certified Gold by RIAA. Today, Micah's performance schedule ranges from youth camps to conferences to touring with other artists.
Micah's story up until his break-through into commercial success was, in the best sense of the word, different. Hailing from the small town of Buna, Texas, he spent his young adult years as a youth pastor. The future artist picked up the guitar to fill the need in his ministry for worship leadership, and from that time God's calling for his life got louder and larger than he could possibly have imagined. After nine years, Micah left his stable job as youth pastor, moved his family into a single-wide trailer, and began traveling the region performing his music. Micah recalls, "I told the Lord, 'I don't know how to be a professional musician, but you've taught me to be faithful.'" With few connections in the music industry, Micah made ends meet by working as a sausage delivery truck driver while he pursued his calling. The story of Micah's music career serves as a testimony that, with a little faith and a big God, incredible things are possible.
Micah and Rebecca talk about:
- Micah's testimony (and when God made it clear he was supposed to pursue music)
- What does faithfulness mean?
- The story behind his song Different
- What spurred the idea of his new book Walking Free
- Pursuing a relationship with Jesus despite external circumstances
- How songwriting is different than writing a book

Rebecca and Lisa Allen discuss Chapter 6 of Do the Thing: Gospel-Centered Goals, Gumption, and Grace for the Go-Getter Girl titled The Invitation to a Finished Work.
Lisa Allen a speaker and a coach with over 20 years experience both with a national women’s ministry and on a large church staff. She’s aso a wife and mom to two adult kids who are her very favorite people to do life with. Her passion is this: to help others better understand their wiring and ultimately gain confidence and clarity on who they are in Christ, in order to aim their lives for greatest impact and purpose.
Sometimes this looks like speaking at conferences and events. Other times, it means she spends a few days with a small group at their team offsite, helping them build trust and learn to work together better. Most days, she’s seated in a cozy corner of a coffee shop or on a zoom link face to face with women who are using coaching to gain direction and live a sustainably paced life. Her two combined decades of experience as both an Executive Director of a national non-profit along with the experience of being on a large church staff allows her to apply a multi-dimensional approach to understanding women in the corporate world, ministry realm and entrepreneurial space.
Rebecca and Lisa discussed:
- How Ruth had to lay down her own selfish desires to be faithful and how her life encourages us to make kingdom-minded decisions
- In the wake of a season where God may be asking you to lay something down or "quit" a particular assignment, how does Jesus "getting away from the noise" and getting alone with the Father encourage us
- Macroquitting and Microquitting (and the shame that can be associated with laying down an assignment)
- “Efficient inefficiency" - where we've become so fast at "doing something we've always done" that it feels like more work to change our process than to continue a process/task that isn't really working for us
- As we take faithful next steps in our calling, there are some people I believe we need along the way (Lisa and Rebecca chat about how these different friends are helpful in their own callings)
- Being a “multi-passionate” creative

Rebecca is joined by Emilee Kurt in this episode to talk all about Chapter 3 of Do the Thing: Gospel-Centered Goals, Gumption, and Grace for the Go-Getter Girl!
Emilee is a graphic designer by day, podcast host by night, and is 24/7 obsessed with the children of God living actually abundant lives. She likes to demystify what this looks like everyday on Instagram, through 1:1 discipleship in her local context, and with every writing tool at her disposal! Emilee and her husband, Zach, met at camp as kids. They love hosting game nights, sleeping in on Saturday, and hanging out with their dog, Usher. What keeps Emilee up at night is the health of the bride of Christ, the espresso she had too late in the afternoon, and that awkward thing she said 5 years ago.
She knows what it’s like to try to walk the narrow path in your own strength, and as a licensed Go + Tell Gal coach she is on mission to see every disciple living from the heart of Christ, with truth and belly laughter; with rhythms and freedom; with grace and dust at their feet.
Rebecca and Emilee discuss:
- How we partner with God in our work
- How does Nehemiah's stick-to-itiveness in the midst of distraction spurs her on to faithfulness in the midst of similar moments
- "We can develop a Christlike tenacity when we walk stride for stride in submission to the Holy Spirit’s leading and prompting."
- How different things slow us down in our calling: when we are weary, we don't know how to do something, OR we experience rejection
- When we treat things like a "cute little side hobby"

Alena Pitts is a 16-year-old actress, author and vocalist.
The Kendrick Brothers’ movie, War Room, marked Alena’s professional acting debut, with Alena being cast in the major supporting role as Danielle Jordan. The movie was a box-office hit in 2015, becoming the 6 highest grossing Christian film in box office history. The film immediately launched Alena headfirst into the spotlight at the age of 11.
Shortly after, Alena started on a new journey and co-authored a three-book fictional series aptly titled, Lena In The Spotlight (Zonderkids, 2017). The books are written with her mother, Wynter Pitts, author and founder of For Girls Like You Ministries.
Though having experienced unbelievable success, Alena’s journey has not come without loss. She tragically and unexpectedly lost her mother on July 24 , 2018. Though the pain has left her and her family heartbroken, they are not without hope and are using Wynter’s passing from death to life as an opportunity to share the hope found in Jesus Christ. Alena has found that sharing her story in song and writing has brought her the most healing.
Alena remains very grounded and values her relationship with Jesus Christ as her highest priority, followed by her commitment to her family including three sisters, Kaitlyn (13) and twins Camryn and Olivia (11). She and her family reside in Franklin, Tennessee.

You walk through rooms in a church that are decorated like ancient Israel. At the end they have cookies and hot chocolate! It’s a free evangelism opportunity so maybe there’s something similar in your own town!

The one where I got to chat with the ladies of Pastors' Wives Tell All.
If you follow me on IG, you know how big a fan I am of the Pastors' Wives Tell All ladies. I love their show and the ministry God has given them to encourage pastors' wives. I decided to have them on to talk about 7 Things Your Pastor's Wife Wishes You Knew. I want to give The Gospel Coalition credit for several topics we discussed in an article written by Shari Thomas that you can access here.
Here's what we chatted about:
- How she has a unique calling on her life (and likely may have gifts God would have her use inside and outside of the local church)
- How she is her own person
- How she shares her husband with everyone
- How gossip about her husband or church leadership not only isn't biblical but cuts very deep
- How she battles unrealistic expectations (those she has of herself AND those placed on her by church members or cultural standards)
- How friendships are tricky for her
- How her righteousness comes from Christ (just like yours!)
This is NOT an episode you're going to want to miss! Also, make sure you listen to my interview on their show about my first year of being a pastor's wife. You can access it on Apple Podcasts by clicking here!

The one where I talked with Mary Marantz!
I made a new friend when I hopped on Zoom to record with Mary Marantz to discuss her new memoir Dirt: Growing Strong Roots in What Makes the Broken Beautiful.
Mary is a Yale Law School graduate and the first in her immediate family to go to college. She is the author of the book “Dirt” about growing up in West Virginia, and the host of The Mary Marantz Show- which debuted in the iTunes top 200 podcast list. Her writing has been featured by Business Insider, Thrive Global, MSN, Bustle, Southern Living, and Brit+Co.
- Why THIS was the first message you felt you needed to bring into the world
- Her journey from a single-wide trailer in the mountains of rural West Virginia to the halls of Yale Law School
- Learning to take a look at the places where we START (aka the trailer park she grew up in) and how we begin there to see how God makes the broken beautiful
- Encouragement for the reader who feels broken and disqualified because of past scars
- How struggle became the redemption song God used to write a life you never dreamed of
- How to dig in instead of give up in this hard season we find ourselves in
- The best piece of advice she's ever been given

The one where I talked with Alisha Illian!
Today's conversation is really important! Alisha Illian joins us to talk about her new book Chasing Perfect: Peace and Purpose in the Exhausting Pursuit of Something Better*.
Have you seen the "Girl, read your bible" meme on Pinterest?* Me too; however, I had no idea that Alisha wrote this meme that went viral about resting our souls in Jesus!
We chatted about:
- Why Chasing Perfect was THE message she had to get out into the world in her first book
- "Hustle" and how it's glorified in society
- Abiding in God's word to find fulfillment rather than the empty promises that "hustle" promises
- How God awakened your heart to prioritize what matters to Him
- Our schedules and how crucial it is to prioritize time with God

The one where my friend Chelsey DeMatteis gets to sit down and interview me on the Living with Less podcast about having courage in Christ! A few months ago I had a conversation with my friend Chelsey DeMatteis on her show The Living with Less Podcast. She has a beautiful heart to walk alongside her listeners as they live with less of the things getting in the way of their relationship with Christ. We chatted about the true meaning of "courage" and:
Leaning into Jesus as our source of our courage and strength in marriage and ministry Areas of where we've had to die to ourselves in this season in order to "live with less" When we worry, how do we trust God has something in store even when we can't see it? What we need to begin living with less of the things getting in the way of our relationship with Christ The good and hard things about seasons of extreme change
Also, be on the lookout - Chelsey is doing an Advent study for the holiday season and I had the honor of writing a devotional for it! I can't wait to share it with you but in the meantime you can see all Chelsey is up to by visiting her website!

The one where I sit down with Nancy Guthrie, author of God Does His Best Work With Empty.
Nancy Guthrie has been a spiritual mother to many of us. What a testimony her story is to God's faithfulness! I jumped at the chance to interview her about her new book God Does His Best Work With Empty.
Nancy’s life experience has significantly affected her teaching. “I’ve had to dig into God’s Word in search of answers to hard questions about God and how he works, and I find that my readers or listeners usually have the same struggles and questions. And while I share openly the deep hurts in my life, I also like to laugh. I often have people who hear me teach say that I'm very real. That’s what I want to be."
She and her husband, David, host weekend Respite Retreats for couples who have faced the death of a child. She speaks regularly at conferences nationally and internationally, and is a regular contributor to The Gospel Coalition including hosting the Help Me Teach the Bible podcast.
Most recently, Nancy has been focused on her mission to infiltrate women’s Bible study in the local church with biblical theology. “I regularly have women who have worked their way through all five of my Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament Bible Study series tell me that those studies helped them to see connections in the Bible they had never seen before. And that thrills me,” says Nancy.
Nancy and her husband, David, make their home in Nashville, Tennessee where, according to Nancy, life is less about professional pursuits than about the ordinary aspects of being a wife, mother, friend, and follower of Jesus, with clothes to wash, e-mails to answer, and a friend to listen to.
Here's what Nancy and I talked about:
- How God does his best work in our "emptiness"
- Who she wrote the book for
- Her personal story and how she's seen this message be true in her own life
- How to see our emptiness as an opportunity for God's work in your life
- Practical ways we can cultivate a sense of expectation and hopefulness in spite of trials
- The best piece of advice she's ever been given

I'm cheering BIG time for my new buddy Alli Worthington today and alllll week this week for the release of her new book Standing Strong: A Woman's Guide to Overcoming Adversity and Living with Confidence. What a title, right?!
I've been a fan of Alli for a long, long time and it was a treat to get to know her more in recording this episode. She and our favorite Lisa Whittle co-lead the community Called Creatives for writers and speakers (if you know, you know - it's been so helpful to me this year!). Her voice is one that has marked my ministry this year and I'm thankful for her. She is known for her straight-talking encouragement and practical tools that help women reach their dreams in business and life. Author of The Year of Living Happy, Fierce Faith, and Breaking Busy, she is a well-known speaker, podcaster, and business coach. Her no-nonsense, guilt-free take on business, family, and balance have led to multiple appearances on The TODAY Show and Good Morning America. Alli lives with her husband, Mark, and their five sons outside of Nashville with the only golden retriever who refuses to retrieve. We got to chat about:
Debunking the lie that "success and significance depend on your hustle" How we have a "more than enough life" in Christ How to leave one assignment for another confidently and without shame How our identity is NOT in what we "do" How we recognize our inner-critic and reject her lies/silence her Prayer - just all the things about prayer How comparison is a calling killer

The one where I sit down with author Elizabeth Laing Thompson!
Elizabeth Laing Thompson writes at LizzyLife.com about clinging to Christ through the chaos of daily life. As a minister, speaker, and novelist, she is always seeking humor in holiness and hope in heartache. Her new books, When God Says "Wait" and When God Says, "Go," are now available from Barbour Publishing (Shiloh Run Press). Elizabeth lives in North Carolina with her husband and children, and they were totally worth the wait.
When God Says "Wait" is Elizabeth's first book through a traditional press, although she has previously published through independent presses. Some of her other books include a young adult novel, The Thirteenth Summer, and a book for mothers of preschoolers, The Tender Years: Parenting Preschoolers (coauthored with her mother, Geri Laing). Elizabeth's essays and poetry have appeared in The Huffington Post, Chicken Soup for the Soul, Power for Living, Mamalode, Coffee + Crumbs, and BonBon Break.
Elizabeth married her college sweetheart, Kevin Thompson, after spending several years swooning over him from the passenger seat of his Dodge Avenger on the drive to church every Sunday. Together the newlyweds went to work serving campus ministries in North Carolina and Georgia. After a long struggle with infertility, Kevin and Elizabeth became the always exhausted but totally grateful parents of one large dog and four loud kids. Now after 19 years of marriage, they still like each other even though Elizabeth beats Kevin at Ping-Pong and buys too many scandalously overpriced mochas.
We chat about:
- The 3 different kinds of "feelers"
- Whether or not God cares about our emotions
- How being a feeler can be frustrating at times
- Are we allowed to truly express our emotions to God
- How to create emotional boundaries
- How understanding emotions can lead to a more meaningful prayer life
- The best piece of advice she's ever been given

The one where I sit down with Nicole Zasowski to talk about her new book From Lost to Found!
Nicole Zasowski is a licensed marriage and family therapist, writer, and speaker. She lives in a small town just outside New York City with her husband, Jimmy and her son, James. With the vulnerability of your closest friend and the wisdom of your most trusted resource, Nicole reveals her own story of how challenges such as unwanted transition, multiple miscarriages, and crippling anxiety gave her empty hands to receive everything she had been looking for in the presence and Person of Jesus Christ. As someone who wears her heart proudly on her sleeve and considers her story to be an open book, Nicole’s message invites others to discover how the surprising path to healing begins when we lose our grip on what we have known, and swerve right into God’s transforming grace, where we find what we need.
In addition to maintaining a private practice, her professional work includes leading marriage intensives at The Hideaway Experience in Atlanta, GA, facilitating support and enrichment groups at several local churches in the greater New York City area, and serving as an adjunct professor at Alliance Theological Seminary in Nyack, NY where she taught marriage enrichment courses. A gifted communicator, Nicole speaks regularly on topics that combine psychology and faith and has conducted several seminars and been invited to speak at several retreats throughout New England.
Nicole co-authored Families and Forgiveness, Second Edition, (Routledge, 2016) with internationally recognized Marriage and Family Therapist, Dr. Terry Hargrave. She has also been a regular contributor to Darling Magazine – a publication for women that seeks to redefine femininity and challenge women to find their true identity and purpose. Her article, “How to Work a Room When You’d Rather Walk Out of It” was featured on Donald Miller’s Storyline Blog. Nicole’s writing has also appeared in All Good Things Collective devotionals and on the Grit and Grace Project.

The one where I sit down and talk with Teresa Swanstrom Anderson!
Teresa is a speaker, blogger, and Bible study teacher (and she hosts some very cool community-building events for women). She is the author of Beautifully Interrupted, in which she tells the story of how God drastically altered the path of her life when she finally surrendered her plans to Him.
After publishing several Bible studies on her blog and leading studies with women at her local church, she is now releasing the Get Wisdom Bible Studies with NavPress. This series is really the best of both worlds—it is in-depth and challenging, but also conversational and accessible to newer believers. Teresa has a heart for women to come to love God more through the study of scripture, especially when they feel ill-equipped to understand scripture and to step into God’s calling.
Teresa lives in Denver, CO with her husband and six children. Two of her children are biological and four were adopted from Ethiopia.
You're going to love hearing from Teresa today, specifically about her new study Living For What Really Matters, available wherever books are sold! Head on over to your favorite podcast platform to listen!

The one where I sit down with Rebecca to talk all about her story of redemption.
Rebecca Bender thought she found her fairytale when she moved to Las Vegas with her boyfriend. But her dream became her nightmare when her boyfriend became her pimp at the age of 19. Trapped in a life of chaos, coerced into prostitution, abused and controlled by her trafficker, Rebecca was forced into sex trafficking for nearly six years. Many attempted escapes, two brandings, and several pimps later, Federal Investigators raided the home, allowing her an eventual avenue for escape.
These days, Rebecca can be found either telling her story or helping others tell their own. Her trainings on this underground world are highly sought after by FBI, Homeland Security, undercover, SVU, medical professional and prosecutors. She speaks on leadership and founding non-profits, serves on the United States National Advisory Committee, Dept of Justice Human Trafficking Advisory Council, and the board of Exodus Cry.
Rebecca shares her testimony of redemption in her new bookIn Pursuit of Love. On this episode we talk about her story and common misconceptions about sex trafficking. Go give it a listen on your favorite podcast platform!

The one where I sit down with my friend Jen Debrot from the 1M Project Podcast to talk about my story! Go check out her show and give it a listen!
The one where I got to sit down with one of my favorite authors Lisa Whittle! We had such a fun conversation about her new book Jesus Over Everything. Lisa's teaching and ministry has marked my life in a significant way this year and I'm excited to share her with you. I'm a member of her Called Creatives community that she leads with Alli Worthington - if you're a writer or speaker you should check it out!
Jesus is everything. It is the heart, the passion and the leadership approach of author, speaker and ministry leader, Lisa Whittle. As the daughter of a pastor, Lisa’s longest community is with the Church, which has become her greatest place of ministry. Her love runs deep to see people pursue Jesus for life, grow deep roots of faith, and walk strong in the midst of a world that so often seems to have gone crazy.
For this reason, Lisa has dedicated her life to writing and speaking about the truth of Jesus Christ and how wanting Him the most changes everything. Lisa is a bestselling author of 7 books and a new Bible study including Jesus Over Everything (March 2020), Put Your Warrior Boots On (June 2017) and 5 Word Prayers (October 2017), and a sought-out Bible teacher for her wit and bold, bottom line approach. Her with you-for you signature style is a favorite of audiences who have her coming back to speak into them year, after year. From retreats to rehab facilities to college campuses to the large church or conference stage, Lisa’s desire remains the same: to point people to the Jesus who can change their life.

The one where I recorded with my good buddy and former boss, Nelson Leiser. The vast majority of his career (22 years) has been spent in recruiting and he now leads the Talent Acquisition team at Bluegreen Vacations. He's extremely wise and was the best person I could possibly think of on my home team to bring on to encourage you during such a tough time in the job market.
We talked about:
- Searching for a job and working for a mentor
- LinkedIn basics (and why you need to create a profile!)
- Interview skills
- Building your "book" and telling your career story
- Networking (and why it doesn't have to be an icky word)
He's one of my favorite people and I can't wait for you to hear from him! Go check it out wherever you download your podcasts!

Unedited Transcript Sample (view full transcript on the Do The Thing Movement website)Okay, Nelson. I am so excited to have you on the show today. This is so fun for me. And just excited to talk about job search, about interviewing about a lot of things that. Are really, probably heavy on the hearts of a lot of our listeners. However, you're the expert in all these things, which is why I love you and what people won't know when they start listening is you used to be my boss, which is so fun.
And now years later, we get to talk about all this kind of fun stuff and just kind of unpack your wisdom, which I'm super excited about. So I'd love for you to start by just telling everybody a little bit about you, about the work that you've done for. Gosh, how many years now? 21 years. And just your experience kind of in this space before we jump into all the things.
Yeah, sure. Hey, listen, I am pumped that I made it on your show. I wasn't sure I'd make the cut. So I'm honored to be here, I guess I'll pass the interview. So that's good news. I have worked in recruiting for 22 years, a variety of different organizations. I started with staffing firms, which just meant I worked in companies that helped other companies find talent.
Uh, and again, a large variety of roles. Uh, I guess when I looked back at that nine year period, before I got into corporate recruiting, uh, had a hundred different. Companies that are supported over that period. Not all at once, but a lot of different types of jobs, different industries, mom, and pops, billion dollar corporations, a lot of different sizes, right.
Uh, have worked in sales recruiting a majority of the time that I've been on the corporate side. Um, I had a three and a half year run in healthcare help to build a team from the ground up here in the Knoxville region. And that was a lot of fun. Um, my sweet spot really is sales recruiting. That's what I enjoy the most for sure.
The one where I sat down with my new friend, Willow Weston, who leads the ministry We Collide. She's an amazing speaker and writer and you're going to enjoy hearing her share her story. Be sure to check out their podcast as well called the We Collide Podcast!

Unedited Transcript Sample:
Okay, Willow. I am so excited today to have you share your story with listeners and just to chat about finding healing in our pain. So you say that after being in ministry for many years, God really met you in a counseling appointment that you had, and you began to find healing for a lot of wounds that you didn't even realize were there.
So could you tell listeners about this story and kind of how God met you in that. Oh man. Yeah. Super long story. I'll try to keep it short. But I met Jesus when I was 21 years old, had a radical kind of conversion experience wasn't raised in the church, wanted nothing to do with God and was super broken and found him when I was 21 years old.
Jumped right into ministry, became a youth leader at a local church. Then I was a pastoral intern. Then I went into ministry and, uh, experienced a lot of healing. Then I got pregnant with my first kiddo and decided to stay at home with him and invest in him. And it was in that time of sort of, uh, investing in him, being home all day, leaving my vocational ministry job that I like to say hurt, knocked on my door.
And I went to look out the people and saw this person who had hurt me when I was a kid. And I couldn't open the door. I couldn't bring myself to let them in. And I ran upstairs and I hid in a closet with my baby, and it was this really intense moment where I felt like the Lord opened up the closet door and came in and sat with me in a sense, and really invited me into further healing.
And said, you know, you need to step out of this closet and you need to get healing for your wounds because you're reverting back to who you were as a kid. And this person isn't hurting you, but you're expecting to be hurt. And so you need, you need to go get help. And I stepped out of that closet and called a Christian counselor and ended up in this.
The one where I got to sit down with my new friend and host of The Collide Podcast, Willow Weston, to talk about my story and what God has us up to these days!

Episode Transcript Sample (click here for full transcript)
Mary, I love how big of a role prayer plays in your writing, your speaking and your podcasting. And so I'm super excited to have you today to share with listeners about. Just how God developed this in you and gave you a heart to speak into prayer in the lives of your listeners and readers. So would you talk to us a little bit about how that started and developed in you?
Right. So I think it actually, that's a really great question. I think it started the moment I met Jesus. I was 15 years old and everything started with a prayer. So the whole relationship with Jesus, I didn't know anything about him. Um, it was completely a shock to my system to even learn about Jesus or to hear stories about him.
I didn't understand that he had anything to do with Christmas or Easter. I was completely unchurched and also a traumatized kid with lots of baggage, sexual abuse, lots of it. Um, divorce of, of, uh, mom, a couple of times and lots of abandonment, drug abuse in the home, unsafe places. I mean, just all the things that could happen to a little kid, uh, happened to me.
So by the time I was 15, I. I right before that I was ready to take my life. But then I started to go to young life and I started hearing the gospel. And so I met him at a weekend camp and I said, would you be the dad that will never leave me? Because by that time my biological father had died and that really just began this long.
Decades, long journey of prayer and really honest prayer. I never, because I didn't grow up in a church, I didn't have like, Oh, this is how you're supposed to do it. Or, you know, you have to say it this way. So, so start off with a conversation and. I also had the opportunity in college, as you can imagine with all that trauma, I was just falling apart all the time.
And once I was out of my unsafe environment and, uh, the lion's share of my healing that God has done. And I'm still in the process of course, but was because people that I knew loved me and. And lay their hands on me and they prayed for me. And so this power of prayer was at the very beginning of my Christian life.
The one where I got to sit down and hear the story of one of my online heroes - Morgan Harper Nichols.
Morgan is an artist and poet whose work is inspired by real life interactions and stories. Morgan spent the first couple of years of her professional life as a college admission counselor, and then, as a full-time touring singer-songwriter and musician. It was on the road that she cultivated her curiosity and passion for writing, art, and design and slowly began to share her work online.
In 2017, Morgan started a project where she invites people to submit their stories to her website. From there, she creates art as a response to their stories and sends it to them before sharing the work publicly. All stories and names are kept private. The fruit of this project is shared daily around social media, in publications, and various creative collaborations and installations.
As an artist, Morgan has been collaborated with a wide range of brands including Coach, Adobe, LiveNation, Aerie, and more.

The one where Katie and I talk about the humble beginnings of Hosanna Revival in her college house when she was 20 all the way to today where Hosanna Revival is a multi-million dollar business providing Bibles and tools for women everywhere to deepen their relationship with Jesus. Man, did I love talking to Katie, a fellow Enneagram 3. You guys are going to love this one.
Katie has had one mission in mind since since launching her creative brand four years ago: excite women to engage in Scripture by creating beautiful and intentional tools for their lives. By paving the way in the market for beautiful Bibles and other faith based tools, Hosanna Revival has become a well-known Christian brand among young women. As the brand has grown, Katie is so honored to continue providing truth and encouragement to the Hosanna Revival community through products, social media platforms, and events.
The story of Hosanna Revival’s growth is laced with big risks, big dreams, and a very faithful God. It all began when Katie decided to paint her plain, black, bilingual Bible in 2015. She wanted the cover to reflect the beauty she knew was on the inside of this timeless book. She immediately saw the business and ministry that this could become, and launched a small online shop. The Lord provided her with all that she needed to grow her unique idea into a thriving business.
Katie is passionate about studying the Bible and has seen it transform her relationship with Christ. She deeply desires to see that same passion come alive in other women. Community has become an important aspect of Hosanna Revival as thousands of women learn how to dig deeper into the Word and encourage one another to do the same. Katie has learned so much through owning her own creative business, leading a team, and seeking to follow God. She’s eager to help other creators do the same in their ministries, businesses, and callings. Keeping Christ the center of her business, relationships, marriage, and ministry has always been her number one priority-- she credits all of the Glory to God for guiding each and every step of the journey.
