Unseen Growth | The Silent Work of Flourishing

My wise friend Angela has an unfamiliar truth to share with you today. We ought to be more familiar with it, I admit, but in a society of go go go, do do do, feeling productive in the stillness is counter-intuitive.

Hi, I'm Stephanie! I'm enthusiastic about understanding how things work together, and that is especially true when it comes to flavors in food and stories in the Bible.

As a lover of literature and language, studying the Bible is like a treasure hunt for me. But I don't believe theology is just for pastors or word nerds; knowing God is for everyone. I share tools, strategies and inspiration for helping you dig into Scripture and study God's Word competently. When we rightly know God we will rightly see Him for who He is, and that kind of seeing brings transformation in every area of our life.

As a lover of good eatin', I am giddy about perfectly seasoned food, harmonious flavor, and surprising culinary experiences. I'm always learning as much as I can about ingredients, techniques, and rave-worthy recipes, and I just can't help but get excited about sharing those tips with you. Better food means greater joy around the table, which means better memories and happy bodies. Feasting was built into life, and I think we should learn to be really good at it. Celebrations centered around food reflect the lavish generosity and goodness of God, and they remind us of all the joy there is to find at His table.
