Hi, I'm Kayla.

Here's a tiny bit about me:
  • ​I'm working on a book of nuanced  and nurturing prayers for parents right now with Tyndale. The tentative release date is Fall 2021. Rachelle Gardner is my literary agent.
  • I also co-founded and co-host Upside Down Podcast, a podcast about justice, faith, and culture. We've had nearly 400,000 listens!
  • Professionally, I'm a podcast producer for Sacred Ordinary Days, a place for ecumenical spiritual formation.
I write about parenting, peacemaking, and Christian spirituality.

Who I am

I'm a full-time journalist turned work-at-home mom to four sweet kids: Joseph, Asher, Eliza, and Abram.

With a degree in magazine journalism from Drake University, my work has appeared in BHG.com,
 PBS KIDS, Motherly, and in countless newspapers.

​I share frequent reflections on 
Instagram. You can find my modern liturgies for parents here.

My Family

I'm an accidental pastor's wife and we live in Des Moines, Iowa, where we hope to love God and neighbor.

Joseph joined our family in 2011 via international adoption from Nigeria. Asher entered the world the old-fashioned way in 2013. Eliza arrived in 2015 via domestic adoption and I gave birth to Abram soon after in 2016. (Yep, that's four kids in five years!)

We also have two dogs: Olive and Max.
