Jenny’s work has appeared in dozens of publications including RELEVANT, Red Letter Christians, and multiple Christianity Today channels. Her articles on gender justice and empowering women and girls have won three of the Evangelical Press Association’s Higher Goals awards, and two of the Associated Church Press’s Best of the Christian Press awards.

A former missionary kid, Jenny has settled in Northern Wisconsin, where she lives with her husband Aaron and a mystery bag assortment of grown children, “bonus babies” (actually teens) they’re blessed to foster, elderly relatives, and a nine pound YorkiePoo who thinks he owns the joint.
