Hello!

It’s lovely to meet you.

I’m Bekah — a writer, speaker, and freelancer, committed to a life with Jesus and attentive to the quiet ways God meets us in ordinary days. I share life with my husband, a local pastor, and our three wildly adventurous young children in the beautiful Pacific Northwest as we learn to live faithfully together.

My aim with each book I write and resource I create is to remind weary hearts that God is present and faithful in the midst of everyday life.

Through vulnerable storytelling, introspective question-asking, and a whole lot of desire to build connections with others, you’ll find content I’ve created here that is intended to hold space for the heavy and the happy parts of Christian life. But you’ll also find ways we might collaborate on something near and dear to you, too, because I truly believe we are better when we work together.

As a whole-hearted person, you’ll notice I like to dabble in several creative endeavors. I pursue personal creative projects while also partnering with friends old and new to launch theirs. Take a look at my offerings and reach out if you’d like to connect further!

Featured Devotional

My debut devotional, Seen in the Unseen, is a four-week journey through the Psalms. Written especially for mothers, each entry pairs a selected Psalm with reflection, practical application for motherhood, and guided prayer to anchor daily life in the presence of God.

This devotional was created to help mothers notice God’s faithfulness in the ordinary, reclaim quiet strength in demanding seasons, and remember that he sees their unseen work. I hope it offers comfort and inspiration for your sacred role.

“Many devotionals for moms seem out of touch or even performative when it comes to the wisdom and spiritual elements. Others seem to trend negative and focus on being a martyr mom. This one meets you in the day to day struggle and pulls you up. The daily reads are short and digestible but full of wisdom and application that feels doable. As a mom of 4, I have read my share of blogs and books for moms and this is one I feel I will return to and recommend often. I especially loved the prayers. Spiritual discipline isn’t something that comes naturally for me, but this devotional gives a great template from which to build.”
