Some scientific studies showed that people need about a 42% rest rate. But, when I did the math, God graciously gave Israel a MINIMUM of a 50% rest rate. 🤯🤯🤯🤯 (It's actually higher most of the time)

Translation call!

This Bible Story Path poster is my most popular item in Etsy - so many people get such use out of my layout and design.

I am looking to get this in as many languages as possible. DM me if you'd like to work with me to get this tool in your language!

A few years ago I wanted to find historically accurate, ethnically authentic Bible illustrations and toys for my children.

When I couldn't find any, I decided to put my education and research skills to work!

As a result, peg doll sets like these were born!

Stuff like this is why I endlessly advocate for women AND teach through #proverbs31 so we can properly understand it in its historical context.

Lest we think how we treat the weak and vulnerable doesn't matter as much as our doctrine, Jesus begs to differ.

Matthew 25 has a lot to teach about our current climate.

Was honored to be able to speak on the Teach Beyond podcast about the historically accurate nativity!

This nativity scene just feels different. Mary surrounded by a community of women caring for her and baby Jesus. The manger near by as it would be in a Judean peasant home. 🥰

Want to see more or learn more about the invisible women of the nativity? I got you!

Oldest daughters navigating post election relational fall out: it is not our job to make people comfortable. We do not have to make our values less to keep the peace. It’s going to feel counter intuitive but I’m here to hold hands with you.

These historically accurate nativity sets are my favorite!

unpopular opinion : If you don't have time to think through how certain Bible passages will impact the disabled, chronically ill (physically or mentally), abused, and those with trauma - you shouldn't be preaching those passages to a group.

These historically accurate Nativity coloring pages move away from typical presentations of the nativity.

Our coloring pages are crafted to showcase:
-Mary's home birth
-The necessity of women
-The angels as a army
-The Magi arriving when Jesus was a toddler, not an infant

This election is a big deal- Because if people can't stand against abusers at the ballot box when no one is looking...

Are they going to stand against it in their churches, homes, & communities. When their jobs, relationships, reputations, and income are on the line.

Short answer, they aren't.

Survivors of SA are having a hell of a week. Check on your people.

Just recorded my next podcast episode "How do we process through the people of God not acting like Him?"

It's a hard, heavy topic. Looking forward to sharing.

Usually my podcast focuses on women of the Bible in their historical context, but in light of recent events we've been discussing anxiety.

Welcome! I'm Jessica!

I'm a neurodivergent teacher (ADHD) whose special interest is the Bible and its historical context, specifically as it relates to women.

If you need a trauma/ND safe space to breathe and heal, I hope I can walk with you on this journey.
