Welcome! I am so glad you stopped by.

I believe Christians – and their homes – should look different from the outside world. They should be different. Feel different. Our hearts and homes are meant to be full of His presence and power exuding His love and light. And thus, in their difference, drawing people in and inviting intrigue and curiosity from those around them, What is it about that family? I can’t put my finger on what it is, but there is something really good going on inside that home, and I want to find out what it is.” Our homes have the great potential of becoming one of the central hubs for God’s glory radiating out into the our dark and hurting world.

But then…life happens. And we live in this fallen world. We are overwhelmed. Overscheduled. Overextended. Anxious. Feeling distracted and disconnected. Wishing we had more quality time with our spouse and children. Or that we’d be seeing more ‘fruit’ from the time we are pouring into them. We may even be feeling like our marriage is crumbling beneath us. Our homes, it turns out, do not look or feel any different from those around us. They are a far cry from glory.

You’re not alone. It is not easy holding onto our deeply held values of faith and raising a family in this particular cultural moment – and its unique challenges – in which we find ourselves living. It can often feel like we are going against the tide.

Believe me, I know. Because I am living it too. To be married, leading various ministries alongside my pastor husband, running a coaching business, parenting 4 children in a foreign land — it’s a full life. And it is so easy to get swept up in all the flurry of activity – in person and online – that we can easily lose our way from The Way our hearts and souls were designed for.

But all hope is not lost. You and I, our marriages, our families, our homes – and the unique and glory-filled stories He is weaving through them – matter too much to God to be left alone. He wants to invade our hearts and invade the very space of our homes with His glory, so that we in turn may live as ‘glory carriers of Heaven’ in whatever we do and wherever we go. As the Apostle Paul said, all of us who believe are called to “…reflect the glory of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18).

But how? Seriously, how.

That is where this little space comes in. In my writing and in all my offerings, I aim to be a companion alongside individuals and families like yours to provide biblical inspiration and practical tools to support you and your family – and mine! – in staying grounded and growing in the deep, the real and the genuine things of God in a world competing for our hearts, time & attention. That you, that we all, may become true Homes of Glory radiating His light, life and love in this world. We can to it together. My family learning and growing alongside yours.

I consider it an absolute privilege that you stopped by my little online “Home of Glory.” As you look around, I invite you to begin by subscribing to my weekly Substack newsletter. It’s a great place to get started and to get to know me a bit more.

I believe our God loves to fill each humble heart and willing home at a time with the undeniable radiance of His glory. May He shine His light ever brighter through your heart and home as you make Him the center of it. 

For His Glory,

Ali
