hi! i’m so glad you are here!

I’m Marissa. I'm just a girl that loves to share.

I want to help women know and love God more so that we might think well and wisely about the things of this world.

I’ve been sharing what I love with the people around me for as long as I can remember, most importantly my love for Jesus and his gospel.

Jesus interrupted my life at the age of 14, and my eyes were opened to the beauty of the abundant life that is offered in his life, death, and resurrection. Since then, nothing has been the same. I want everything I do to be for his glory and the good of his people.

My favorite thing is talking about Jesus and the life and family that he offers. I love helping real women know and love him more through the study and teaching of his word and intentional discipleship, which is what I spend the majority of my time and days doing as a minister at Eastside Community Church in Dallas, TX. I also love style, travel, great food, and picking out the perfect gift. When I find something good, I can’t keep it to myself.

As a means of sharing what matters to me, I’ve dabbled in everything from blogging to podcasting to starting a newsletter. I’m thrilled to have a permanent place on the internet to point people to Christ and help them think well and wisely about the things of this world.

I hope you find whatever time you spend here to be time well spent and that you leave with some everyday inspiration for everyday faithfulness.

Thanks for being here!

Marissa

i'm surely talking about

The show I’m currently binge-watching, the restaurant I want to try, and why everyone should try counseling

i believe

The good life is found in Christ alone, cereal is a complete meal, good things deserve to be celebrated, and glitter in your dustpan is evidence of a good time

A well-wrapped gift, Netflix sports documentaries, marking milestone moments, and good conversation over a delicious dinner with my favorite people

i'm probably thinking about

A new business idea, the substance and aesthetic of our next church event, and curating my closet

i'm very into
