Hello Brittany! We’re so excited to be chatting with you today! To kick things off, can you share a little about yourself with our readers? How would you sum up your journey so far and what you’re currently focused on?

Thank you so much for having me!
I am a wife and work from home mom currently pursuing homeschooling with my two kids. My husband and I have been married for 6 years, and our kids are 5 and 2 years old. We live up in North Dakota and love it even though it’s a bit on the chilly side!

My journey has been a long one, but God has shown up and shown off throughout my life and I am so grateful. I made the unfortunate decision to have an abortion at the age of 17, and after years of suffering God healed and redeemed me and placed it on my heart to “go and tell.” Though answering that call was terrifying at first, I’ve been able to see God use my story for the good of His kingdom so that others may find hope and redemption in him.

As someone who is outspoken in a culture that often challenges pro-life beliefs, what has been the most rewarding part of standing firm in your values? And how do you navigate difficult conversations with those who may not share your perspective?

I recently had a conversation with a friend who had been pro-choice all of her life. She heard my story and wanted to talk more about it, not in an argumentative way but rather in a curious way. We were able to have a lovely conversation where I was able to share my heart with her and as time has passed since our conversation, her eyes have been opened to some of the lies of our society. She now takes a pro-life stance, and I believe it was because I shared my heart with her in a respectful way without any condemnation.

I think the best thing we can do when talking to someone who disagrees with us is ask ourselves, “Why do they think the way they do?” We don’t have to agree with why they think that way, but if we understand it, we can extend grace much more easily and speak the truth in love.

Living in a world where your pro-life stance is often met with resistance, what are some ways you stay true to your values while cultivating wholeness? How do you maintain peace and purpose in the midst of opposition?

I’m sure you can imagine that I get quite a bit of opposition on social media! Many people try to argue with me or push my buttons. When I first started out, I would engage with them and found that I was wasting so much time defending myself to people who were never going to soften their hearts towards me. Instead, I do not engage with those who try to start debates with me on the internet. Rather, I add them to a prayer list and pray for a heart change for them. Being able to engage indirectly by praying for them allows me to maintain peace instead of exposing myself to negativity.

What’s one piece of advice or wisdom you’d like to share with our readers? Whether it’s about living purposefully, staying true to your values, or simply finding peace in a busy world, what’s something that’s been meaningful in your own life that you’d like to pass on to others?

I used to worry so much about what people thought about me, that I avoided God’s call on my life for years. Now, I often think about the many missed opportunities I had to share the gospel with others because I was too afraid. My advice to you would be to never be afraid of what others are going to think of you. There is always going to be someone out there that disagrees with you. The only one you need to live for is the One who created you.

If you were to spend an entire day at home, with no outside commitments, what would that soulful, cozy day look like? What’s on the table—your go-to drink, your favorite book, or a personal tradition that brings you warmth?

Oh my, this sounds like an absolute dream!
My living room is always the coziest between November 1st and January 1st because that’s when we have our Christmas tree up! I would absolutely love to have a day to sip on endless spicy mochas near our Christmas tree with a good book – my most recent favorite was The Women by Kristin Hannah. Some Christian ASMR in the background would take the relaxation to the next level!
