Sarah grew up in the greater Houston area, where she was involved in a local church that nurtured her love for music. Because of that, she has led music in a number of ministries, and has a gift for giving old hymns a new sound. She loves chocolate, hates coffee, and nine out of ten times prefers to be home with a book.

Sarah received a Bachelor of Arts in Humanities from Scarborough College and wrote her senior thesis on the effect epistemology had on the practice of pragmatism.  Sarah’s primary interests include raising quail, petting dogs, and writing with clarity, truth, and beauty in mind.

Sarah is the author of With Those Who Weep: A Theology of Tears, and has written for Fathom Magazine, Gospel Centered Discipleship, and The Daily Grace Co. She is a member at City Church in Cleveland Heights.
