About Jenna

Writing for Christians
in the arena.

I write for Christians who love their work and love Jesus, and are tired of feeling like they need to be less ambitious to be more faithful. Your work isn't a detour from ministry, but one of the primary arenas God chooses to work through you. The boardroom, the classroom, the early morning inbox — it's all sacred ground. You were never meant to choose between excellence in your work and faithfulness to Christ. I write to help you hold both.

Every Wednesday you'll get an essay exploring the tensions of faith and work, one concrete practice to take into your week, and a closing prayer for the journey. Free, always.

Like a Lion, Like a Lamb
The Sacred Tensions of Faith-Driven Leadership

Many Christians feel a quiet tension between who God has called them to be and what leadership today seems to require. Like a Lion, Like a Lamb shows that Jesus never asked us to choose — He held every tension perfectly, and invites us to do the same.
