Hello, my friend!

If you long for a place where the mask can drop and you can be real, come on over. I'm Lisa—a wife, a mom, and the founder of Walking with Purpose, and I know like you do that life gets messy, even when we're desperately trying to do the right thing. And that's what grace is all about. We aren't enough, and just when we think that's the end of the story, Jesus shows up and fills in the gaps. You are welcome here, and we encourage you to share the content most meaningful to you.
With gratitude,
Lisa Brenninkmeyer

The result of her holy discontent is Walking with Purpose. Lisa is crazy about women, loves Christ passionately, and thinks the most exciting thing in the world is to connect the former with the latter. Lisa holds a bachelor's in psychology from St. Olaf College and is pursuing her master's in theology from Franciscan University. She and her husband Leo have seven children and five grandchildren and reside in Maine.
