Welcome to Bold Strong & Free! We are 3 women, in 3 different time zones, who met through a shared interest of Stephanie May Wilson’s ministry. We became fast friends and decided to start a blog based on our shared desire to be in community with one another while also empowering women to live bold, strong, and free for Christ. Before we get started with our regular blog, we want to give you the chance to meet the women you’ll be hearing from every week.
Hi, my name is Elizabeth! I am a social worker and live in Texas. I have been writing stories since before I could remember and sharing original poetry since the age of 13. Blogs are second nature to me. But audio scares me and I think the Lord knows that for He keeps leading me to speaking functions.
Some quick fun facts:
- I grew up in Texas, the American West, and Malawi, Africa.
- I am the only daughter and the youngest of four in my family.
- I was selected to be a speaker at the Apraxia Kids National Conference in July 2024.
- I love to go on adventures, such as hiking, exploring new cultures, and learning new things.
- If I could have a superpower, it’d be to speak to animals.
Hi, I’m Abbi! I was born and raised in Southern California, spent some time in Colorado for school, and am now back home in the Golden State. Currently, I work as a nanny and it’s the best job I’ve ever had. Some things I like to do in my free time include reading, crocheting, and spending time with family and friends.
Some quick fun facts:
- I spent my 16th birthday in Cambodia on a mission’s trip.
- I have a degree in American Sign Language interpreting.
- I have never broken a bone.
- I love road trips, the best part of which is the snacks and music.
- I dream of one day living in a tiny home.
Hi friends, I’m Katelyn and for the moment I live in a tiny town in Maryland. I’m a writer who desires to use my words as a platform to share hope and encouragement, especially with women. I love adventure and excitement. Not the kind of adventure that comes from roller coasters and sky diving, but more like travel, risks, spontaneity, and making every day different from the last. I also love people and have a passion for ministry. This summer, I’m teaching Bible at a ministry called Urban Impact in northside Pittsburgh for the second year in a row. I love opportunities to meet the needs of kids and bring them the life-changing word of God.
Some quick fun facts:
- I am currently working on two books and I’m very excited to get them out into the world.
- I love ceramics and I’ve been working with clay seriously for about 8 months and I love it. I’m hoping to sell my work soon.
- I love the bright warmth of sunshine; I love sunflowers and basically all things yellow.
- I love worship music and I feel the deepest connection to God through worship.
- I collect bells and I love their various textures and tones.
We’re excited to start this incredible journey with you! Check back on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for more posts and follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
Abbi, Katelyn, & Elizabeth
