About Kristin Grace
The ministry I didn't expect
to write.
There is a journal entry sitting in a drawer somewhere with a list of devotional ideas scrawled on it. I wrote it ten years before I found it again. When I picked it up, I didn't realize the date on the page was the anniversary of a teenage suicide attempt I had survived decades earlier. Everything I'd ever written — the poetry, the blog posts, the margins of every Bible I'd ever owned — came rushing back. And God began to give me titles.
This is not the ministry bio I expected to write. I spent 30 years in meeting rooms, offices, and training rooms — always doing the same thing in different clothes: finding the people who had been left without what they needed, and making sure they left with it. I administrated digital and contact center banking operations, taught personal financial management to thousands of new servicemembers, coached families out of financial crisis, and led church systems — convinced, somewhere in the back of my mind, that all of it was preparation for something I couldn't yet name.
I'm Kristin Grace — a pastoral candidate, a women's ministry advocate, and an author-in-progress. I write Bible studies for the women who have sat where I've sat. The ones who grew up without their biological fathers and spent years looking for love in every wrong place. The ones who lost their title — their role, their identity, their sense of self — and stood in the wreckage wondering who they were now. I've been the mom with children not born from her body, but in her heart. The mom suddenly homeschooling her teenager with unexpected special needs. The ones who have loved a prodigal at close range and kept showing up with the love and grace God first showed us.
I've been all of those women. And I've watched God show up in the middle of every single one of those stories — including mine.
I'm currently writing four Bible studies, pursuing ministerial credentialing, serving at my home church, and building my platform to share the work that God has done through my life.
God has called me to do it, and I am obeying with an empathetic heart. I write for the woman who has been told her story disqualifies her. I know her. I was her.

Bible Studies
Studies written from
the inside out.
Featured Study · Coming Soon
Father to the Fatherless Daughters
Identity & Father-Wound Healing · 6–8 Sessions
Written for women who grew up without their biological father present -- and have carried that absence into every season of life. This study does not rush past the grief. It sits with it, names it, and walks gently toward the God of Psalm 68:5 who calls Himself Father to those who have none. Scripture anchors: Psalm 68:5 · Isaiah 43:1 · Romans 8:15–16

Somedays and Sourdough
Faith · Bible Study
As I have been writing Somedays and Sourdough, God has been preparing me to prepare you for the waiting.
Yes, the waiting.
The part we all wish to power through as quickly as possible. Sometimes, as I wait for my dough to rise, I ponder the creation of each bubble. Much like us, they are all different. They are going through the same strengthening process, but the experience may be different. Even in the same environment, they all produce at their predestined rate.
Fermentation can happen slowly or even too quickly. Can you imagine walking just after birth, or not walking until the age of 11? It's hard to fathom, but the reality is that for either one to happen, there must be something supernatural at work. It could be a miracle. It could be spiritual warfare. Both happen all around us every day. We just can't always see them.
God's ways are mysterious to us. Yet His ways are far better than ours. Consider this as obedience: If I follow the instructions and my hands have prepared the necessary ingredients, it will eventually rise. I could stare at the dough for an hour, waiting to see it. I could see nothing happen at all in that hour, but it's still working. How often have we waited, prayed, declared a trade just to see something move? Yet when we turn it over to God, we can turn away, rest, and trust that He is at work.
But I obeyed. What is God growing in your life that you feel like you just can't see? What are you waiting for? I can't make the dough rise any faster than you can make something happen without God's hand. Rest in His comfort, His peace, knowing that what grows in His hands is made perfect.

Why I Chose the Echinacea
I chose the echinacea coneflowers because they bloom slowly, even in harsh droughts or poor soil. The center is a raised cone, held upright even as the petals droop.
It bounces back after storms, slowly — but its resilience is radiant, and its roots run deep. It symbolizes healing, strength, and resurrection.
More posts coming soon — welcome to my prayer room. 🤍
The Secret Place
Poetry & Prose
Words written in the margins, the quiet hours, and the in-between. This is where grace finds its voice before it finds its audience.

The Secret Place
I wish to join you
In the secret place
The space
Beneath the noise
In the language
Only you can hear
Where wisdom speaks
Whimsies roam
Rare beauty flows
Within the storm
The lightning cascades
The dark clouds loom
Yet, peace
My grit
Perseverance grows
Where glory true
In empty silence
And all it seems
Is solely where
Creation blooms
