Finding Purpose for Your Next Season of Life
Diapers and 2 a.m. feedings. Car seats and Legos. Preschool and playdates. These things filled my early days of parenting. I had longed for motherhood, so I embraced the busyness along with the joy. As my children grew, things became even more hectic. My husband and I...
When Transition is Where We Seem to Dwell
Transition could be my middle name. I was a Third Culture Kid (TCK) for the first half of my life and became an immigrant in the second. Born in one place, educated in another, and transplanted once more right in the middle of life–on my way over the hill–to yet...
Caregiving, Snow Globes, and Stress Tests
Life is made up of changes. Whether your transition is exciting or difficult, chosen or forced upon you, change brings stress. I’m in the middle of an ongoing transition that I didn’t choose, would never choose, and had no choice but to accept. I am a caregiver. To...

Reaching for People Introvert-Style
My mother-in-law has a gift. She can talk to anyone. I once went to an estate sale with my mother-in-law and one of my sisters-in-law. We had just stepped inside the front door when my mother-in-law paused and smiled at another woman also walking in the door. That...

We envision a vibrant and diverse movement of Christian women who create in community and who influence culture and faith.
Redbud nurtures a community of Christian women who create rather than merely consume. We are a diverse group of authors, writers and speakers who communicate in order to empower women to use their voices to be world-changers. We are committed to supporting all Redbud members. We create and maintain community by meeting regularly, connecting through social media outlets, and networking through our various channels of influence.
Fearlessly expanding the feminine voice in our communities, faith, and culture.
