These days she is on staff at Austin Ridge Bible Church, where is the Serve Coordinator and a teacher and podcaster in the EQUIP ministry. By far, her favorite thing to study is God's Word, and she is so grateful to have it to guide her thoughts and her steps. She lives in Austin with her husband and 10th grace daughter.
