As a leader, teacher, wife and mama to four of the nicest teens and adult children you’ll ever meet, I have countless opportunities to grow in grace, humility and humor every single day. I love God’s Word and take seriously His command to love and serve others. This is the heartbeat of my writing and speaking as I encourage others to live out their faith in practical ways and lift their eyes to Jesus in every circumstance.
Along with raising my family, I’ve been a science teacher, physician assistant and nonprofit ministry leader. I never saw all of that coming, but God worked it all together in wild ways. I currently serve as Director of Clinical Education and Associate Professor at Oklahoma Baptist University. In addition to education and medical degrees, I hold an MA in Christian Thought and a Doctor of Ministry in Transformational Leadership. I’m passionate about using my diverse background to help others integrate their faith into all aspects of their lives.
I hope you find some encouragement, laughter, and food for thought here at twentyshekels.

Just read your article in Everyday Faith by Day Spring. I too always feel I am inadequate to host in my home. And as for Bonnie, she sounds just like my precious sister who always makes everyone feel so welcome & their visit cherished by her. After reading your article I am going to really try to do better being a host. My problem I think is that I need to relax and not expect perfection while remembering God didn’t visit any perfect homes. Just ones that welcomed Him with love. I look forward to following you. Thank you for the encouragement to follow Biblical examples of hospitality in place of the worldly ones😊.
