About Me

Welcome to Soaking in the Son! A blog of walking with the Lord, “soaking” him in and applying Gospel hope to everyday life.

My name is Jen. I’m a wife and mom to three littles. I love books, iced coffee, and hot sunny days. I love God, and most importantly, I’m learning about his love for me, his love for each of us. And it’s changing my life.

This blog is that journey.

I’m not a seminary school scholar, a pastor or a great theologian. I’m not even a practiced blogger. I’m an average American, a stay-at-home mom whose days are marked by packing infinite snacks, driving laps around town and diffusing sibling rivalry.

But I have seen God move.

I don’t see Him move because my faith is so great. It’s not. I promise, it’s not. But God is great. I promise, He is.

This blog is not about me and my story. This is about God and his work. He is Jehovah, the Great I Am, the one whose powers exceed all powers. He is available to us. He cares about us. He gave his life for us.

To those who are searching, I write to introduce to you a God who loves you more than you’ll ever understand, to encourage you to step into his love. To those who have questions or are walking through suffering, I write to join you in the wrestling. To those who believe that their lives don’t matter because they aren’t anything special, I write to walk out of that lie with you. And to those who are comfortable, I write to challenge you to journey further with me.

Wherever you are at, I invite you to soak in the Son with me. May we grow closer to the One who sustains it all.

To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.” – 1 Timothy 1:17
