About Janise

I am a Southern California girl turned Southern belle, a wife, mother, preacher, teacher, writer, spiritual director, and friend on this journey of faith.  I am a lover of God’s Word and passionate truth teller.  And I am simply trying to keep it real in the mess of everyday life as I seek to go deeper still into life with God and His claim on my life as His beloved child.  I long to become more fully aware of His living presence and my desire is to invite others into this awareness as well.
