Hi, I’m Rebekah.
Christian thinker. Coach. Emotional truth-teller. Companion at the Well.
For over 15 years I’ve been helping women live emotionally healthy, spiritually grounded, honest, connected, flourishing lives in Christ.
I speak, teach, write, coach, and create spaces where women can meet Jesus in reality. My work blends Scripture, emotional intelligence, lament, truth-telling, and spiritual formation always with the hope that women will become who God designed them to be:
Whole. Honest. Wise. Free. Flourishing in truth.
My Story
I grew up in a loving, spiritually healthy Christian home, a pastor’s daughter with a front-row seat to ministry, discipleship, and the beauty (and brokenness) of the Church. Like many young women, I imagined a simple future: marry early, start a family, raise kids who love Jesus.
But that’s not the story God wrote.
My twenties went by. Then my thirties. No marriage. No family. No timeline that made sense.
And with every passing year, I had to face the truth in my heart:
the grief I didn’t want to feel
the longing I kept pushing away
the anger I felt toward God
the dreams that were dying quietly inside me
The years of waiting were not gentle. But they were formative. A slow, painful descent into total honesty and eventually, into freedom.
I learned how to lament. I learned how to face emotions instead of suppressing them. I learned how to stop using ministry and productivity to outrun grief or create meaning. I learned where true worth comes from, and spoiler alert, and it’s not marriage, motherhood, or meeting cultural expectations.
And in God’s perfect timing, I met my husband Jeff and married him at age 39, a beautiful grace, but not the final resolution to my inner story. God’s work in me wasn’t about a husband; it was about becoming whole.
Those years taught me everything I now teach women:
That truth heals. That honesty transforms.That lament is the path to joy. That Jesus meets us in reality, not in fantasy and that He is enough to get us through anything. And I do mean anything. And that flourishing is possible no matter how your story unfolds when we trust God and lean in.
