About

The whole story, the way I'd tell it by a campfire

I'm Jessica! Your Story Friend — wife, mama, full-time traveler, podcast host, author, retreat lover, and the girl who will absolutely ask you to tell me the whole story.

I love Jesus, honest conversations, wild places, campfires, and friendships where we can skip the small talk and talk about what God is actually doing in our lives.

I created The Story Haven because I believe our stories matter, and we were never meant to do life, faith, or calling alone. Pull up a chair and tell me your story!

Day to day you can find me hosting Perspectives Into Practice — a Christian women's podcast about walking with God in real life — writing at the blogs below, leading Wholeness in the Wilderness retreats, and sharing the Made Whole message as author of Made Whole: A Journey from Brokenness to Wholeness in Christ. Everything I make exists to help you see your own story through God's perspective and respond with practical faith.
