Rediscover delight in your faith again.
You’re not new to this. You know the Bible like the back of your hand, can crack jokes about Christian-subculture, and even have a few ministry horror stories under your belt. But when you see the newbies walk through the door at church, they have something you don’t.
Sure, it could be your cynicism, burnout, or disillusionment talking, but there’s still a part of you that wants to enjoy your faith again without all the baggage you’ve picked up over the years.
When did we all start taking ourselves so seriously? If you’ve been longing for a faith that feels vibrant, a church experience that feels healing, and an everyday life that is fueled by hope and delight, you’re in the right place.
Hello!
I’m Kayla – a lifelong Christian, Bible school grad, failed church planter, and recovering “church girl” on a mission to prove that faith can be vibrant, life with Jesus can feel beautiful, and church community can bring more healing than hurt.
When the rubber hits the road, sometimes the “Sunday School answers” don’t work. What then?
This is my story, which is why I’m passionate about helping Christians recover from burnout and rediscover delight in their faith again.

Here’s what I do:
Speak
If my story resonates with you, and you want to hear more, I’d be happy to come speak for your group or event! Over the past several years, I have traveled across the U.S. to serve as a Christian camp and retreat speaker for a variety of churches, retreat centers, and Christian camps.

Write
I’m obsessed with putting the human experience into words. When I’m not writing on my blog, I spend my days helping faith-fueled organizations tell their stories and get more people involved in what God is doing around the world.
With over a decade of experience writing for faith-based audiences, I am skilled in both long form and short form content designed to engage your readers, increase your online visibility, and advance your mission.

The God Who Stays: An Advent Reflection
Every December, we do something quietly defiant. The days grow shorter. The air turns sharp. The world goes dark earlier than we’d like. And instead of surrendering to it, we light candles. We string lights across rooftops and windows. We build fires. We gather close....
How to Discern God’s Will Without Burning Out
Burnout can sneak in even when your heart is fully surrendered to God. This was a surprise to me. I used to think that burnout meant I was doing things all wrong, but it turns out you can be doing a lot of things right and still need to recalibrate. This year, I...
