I'm a Bible teacher and speaker passionate about helping Christian women pay attention to their inner lives and stay connected to God through every season. My work blends Scripture, prayer, spiritual direction, and spiritual formation in a way that is thoughtful, honest, and deeply rooted in everyday life. I want to help women experience God's presence in real life—not just in the polished moments, but in the messy and uncertain ones too.Book Kari as a Speaker:https://lovedoesthat.org/speaking
