The Buried Talent

For 20 years, I’ve served as an educator and ministry leader. Then, for a short time, I was a hospice chaplain. I have an MA in Christian Theology and am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Psychology:Theology.

This past year, I took a major leap of faith and stepped away from the traditional occupational pathway to obey a lifelong calling to write, to help others cultivate and write their story, create opportunities for prayer, and build tools for the sake of evangelism and discipleship.

Out of that calling comes Truth or Prayer. What was once a small blog on which I shared some of my writing has now transformed into a publishing, podcast, and interactive discipleship toolkit built on one simple idea: take the familiar mechanics of "Truth or Dare" and redirect them toward vulnerable testimony, truth found in Scripture, and prayer.

Season 1 Podcast & 

The Unburied Voices Book

Season 1 of the Truth or Prayer podcast drops on October 26. Alongside our 12 podcast episodes and companion devotional, we are gathering testimonies.

I am looking for 15 Anchor Contributors with a story to share of God’s faithfulness and truth across real-life terrain:

-Reconstruction after church hurt or spiritual abuse

-Healing through grief, loss, and chronic illness

-Freedom from addiction and destructive cycles

-Radical leaps of faith and financial wilderness

-The quiet beauty of steady faithfulness through long trials

-…more

Contributors do NOT need to be writers and can be anonymous. 

I can work directly with each contributor as a coach, editor, and ghostwriter; or by conducting a relaxed interview and crafting their chapter in their authentic voice with 100% final approval before anything goes to print.

**Contributors who are seasoned writers are welcome to write their own, while I offer proofreading and support.
