ABOUT ME
As a spiritual director and a writer, I delight in helping those who are weary or burdened by the unexamined practices of their faith walk and work in the restful way of Jesus.
FOR YOU
Since 2006, I’ve shared writing and resources on my website to help us worship God, love people, and enjoy beauty. With decades of practice in ministry and leadership roles, I’ve written and spoken about all sorts of topics with varying degrees of charity and intelligence. But the theme I keep returning to is that we can take Jesus seriously when he invites us to come to him for rest.
Through writing, listening in one-on-one and group spiritual direction, leading and speaking at events and retreats, I invite readers and listeners to reorient their lives around the unforced rhythms of Jesus.
FROM OTHERS
“Tamara has a unique, practical, and effective way of encouraging us to walk this path of attentiveness to Christ with hopeful assurance of God’s grace for that journey.”
“Tamara is a trusty guide.”
“This is one of the many gifts that Tamara offers to her readers. She offers herself, not as one who “has arrived,” but as one who is continually “on the way.” ”
