Meet Tammie Haveman
I’m passionate about God’s command to love and serve others in community. My heart longs for the Church to return to its historic role of loving well and caring for others. This is the heartbeat of my writing and speaking as I encourage others to live out their faith in practical ways.
As a 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. In my professional life, I serve as Director of Clinical Education and Associate Professor at Oklahoma Baptist University, where I lead the clinical education team and teach courses on ethics and cultural humility. I also hold an MA in Christian Thought and am currently completing a Doctor of Ministry in Transformational Leadership at Bethel University Seminary.
My journey has been anything but traditional. Before entering seminary, I taught science and earned an MA in Teaching. Later, a career change led me to train as a physician assistant, and I still practice part time. I also spent several years in nonprofit ministry 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😊.
