A bit of my story...

From a Sunday saint to a Jesus-loving, Christ-is-my-life believer.

Life gets noisy, and in the middle of it all, our soul quietly asks for more.

 

Maybe for yourself, or maybe for the people you lead. From my experience, that “more” is a deeper connection with God. But with all the voices out there—books, devotionals, podcasts—it’s hard to know who to trust or where to start.

Maybe you’ve tried journaling, but it felt impersonal or like just one more task on your never-ending to-do list. Or perhaps you’ve been searching for resources that truly speak to the unique challenges you or your group are facing—resources that feel real, relatable, and rooted in God’s Word.

And just maybe—you’re ready for something fresh. You want tools that not only help you study God’s Word but live it out in a way that brings peace, purpose, and transformation.

That’s exactly why I’m here.

My journey hasn’t been easy. Losing my mother at a young age left a gap that shaped so much of who I am today. Growing up without her guidance made me determined to be fully present for my own children—and to give others the encouragement and support I longed for.

As someone who’s walked through a rough marriage, raised two daughters, and balanced the demands of work, finances, and faith, I know what it feels like to juggle it all while trying to stay connected to God. But I’ve also seen God’s faithfulness in all seasons, and that’s what I bring to the table—a deep understanding of real-life struggles, combined with the hope and joy only God can give.

With over 25 years as an educator, a Master’s degree in education, and experience as a Bible teacher, Sunday School teacher, and small group leader, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside others on their spiritual journeys. My passion is to bring a fresh twist to God’s Word—making it accessible, personal, and deeply relevant to wherever you are in life.

If you’ve ever wondered if journaling or Bible study could really fit into your busy life—or if you’ve felt unsure about trusting one more resource—I want to assure you: you’re not alone, and this isn’t about doing it perfectly. It’s about creating space for God to meet you right where you are.

Whether you’re here for your personal journey or to guide a church, small group, or individual into deeper faith, my journals and custom resources are designed to encourage, equip, and inspire. Together, we’ll create moments of connection with God that ripple into every area of your life.

Let’s grow in His Word and find your moment—together.

XOXO,
Lisa Joy
