RESOURCES
I personally love gathering reputable Christian resources from brothers and sisters in Christ. It's always exciting to explore new books, websites, music, podcasts, etc. I want to include this little space on the blog for the curious mind who is looking for some extra spiritual wisdom from older, more mature Christ-followers. This list will probably be added onto as time passes. For now now, I want you to know that this is a list of some of my favorite sources from men and women who have encouraged and impacted my own faith in tremendous ways. I am so very grateful to these spiritual leaders who provide such beneficial creative materials to encourage spiritual transformation in my life and the lives of many others.

Blogs & Websites
Ann Voskamp truly writes the most glorious word pictures and her blog has long been one of my favorite safe places to read, process, and think through life and my relationship with God.
I truly admire and look up to the inspiration of a woman, Phylicia! She is extremely Biblically grounded and I love how she so practically applies the Bible to everyday life.
This was started by one of my good pals and is truly a beautiful, creative and reflective place for young adults to grow in Christ together. I've contributed and I truly hope that you also take the time to get involved in this creative collaborative ministry space.
I am just starting to really discover everything on this website. However, I love John Mark Comer's church and communication skills and definitely advocate his ministry.
This is such a great website to turn to when you just need some spiritual encouragement and reminders of how to practically live fully for God in a world so full of distractions.
This is the website of one of my favorite professors at the college I attend. He keeps his readers up to date on all of the newest media trends and creative advancements, all the while staying very grounded in scripture. His goal and mission is to communicate well for the glory of God.
Desiring God is truly such a good, comfortable place to turn to when wrestling with theology or you just need some faith walk encouragement. Or even when you need some wisdom when writing a blog post or paper for school.

Where do I even begin? I have long been following Gabby's blog and truly admire (to say the least) her craftsmanship when it comes to words and creativity. Her blog is such a beautiful, safe place of vulnerability and growth in Christ. And her lifestyle portion is always very aesthetically pleasing and full of practical wisdom.
