Hi. I'm Mary.

I am passionate about teaching the importance of having a strong understanding of what you believe, why you believe it, and why it matters. I love teaching how to read Scripture with eyes for the big picture that God has been writing since the beginning of creation, and how all along His plan was to send a Savior to rescue us, to do what we could not do for ourselves.

I also love writing, adoption, foster care, learning, and telling our kids bedtime stories. We have two under two, so they rarely understand, but if the story is about an animal, they are certainly down to provide the sound effects. 

My family and I live just outside of Nashville, and we love it (Minus the traffic. I love you, but please don’t move here.). We treat Chick-fil-A as if it is an addition to our home, as the word "regular" doesn't seem to communicate how often we are truly there. We love flea markets, are one of the few remaining people who watch Survivor religiously, and unfortunately always seem to "donate" to the local gym rather than actually go.

Theology and ministering to women, parents, and kids is what I feel like God has led me to over and over again. I hold a Bachelors in Theology and also English, and a Masters in Theological Studies at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY, and have just begun a PhD program in Theological Studies with a Systematic Theology emphasis at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. I serve as the Associate Publisher at B&H Publishing Group, teach and write for women, and host the Questions Kids Ask podcast.

Statement of Faith
I believe that Scripture is absolutely inerrant; God is immeasurably kind; and trusting Jesus and the work He did on the cross in our place to pay for sin is the only way to be made right with God. I believe that a right understanding of these foundational doctrines will result in worship and obedience in our lives. I love the church because Jesus has chosen the church to be His bride, and one day, Jesus will return to be with His church forever.
