I’m Tammie. 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.
My journey has been anything but traditional. Along with raising my family, I’ve been a science teacher, physician assistant and nonprofit ministry leader. 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😊.
