Hey, there! I’m Charis, and I am a chosen, adopted daughter of the Most High God! I’m also a sinner in need of God’s redeeming grace every single day. In the messiness of my heart, Jesus reached down and pulled me into His arms. Most definitively and gratefully, I’m His girl.
My background is in education- with a M.Ed. in Effective and Reflective Teaching and five years of classroom teaching experience. In 2022, I left my job in public education to serve my local church as a biblical counselor and student ministry coordinator. The Lord has given me a tremendous passion and joy for teaching His Word, discipling women, and writing what He’s teaching me. I pray Living Transformed encourages you as we sit at Jesus’ feet together!
I’m blessed to wear many hats: wife, teacher, counselor, youth leader, friend, power walker, gardener and coffee enthusiast to name a few. In 2025, my son Brooks added “mama” to the list and what a joy that hat has been!
My family has the cutest Bernese Mountain dog ever named Nova and a mischievous cat named Cosmo. We proudly wear the title “foodies” and love trying little hole in the wall places that are packed with personality and flavor!
Making new friends is a great joy, and I would love to count you as one! Please reach out via blog comments, email, or social media, so we can connect! We weren’t created to walk this journey alone. The pathway to discovering who we are in Christ and leaning into His transformative grace is strengthened by community– a gift that I pray the Lord will allow us to share in this space. I truly look forward to connecting with you!

Hospitality: Come to my Table
Feed my sheep. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst. Let them come. Don’t make it perfect, make it inviting. Full spread of imperfectly cooked delicious food on a table with a few dents and scratches. A warm home, candles lit, soft music playing, or kids crying and dishes in the sink. The bread is…
