Meet Kimberly Penrod Pelletier

I (Tammy) had the privilege of having Kimberly as my spiritual director for almost nine months. Every session with her brought me new insight and greater courage. The question she would often ask was, “What is this an invitation to?” That question transformed my thinking and has informed my decisions and actions ever since. I’m so excited I get to share Kimberly with all of you!

Kimberly loves creating space for authentic connection with God and self. Whether with a pen, a microphone, or one-on-one as a spiritual director, she is passionate about staying with those in places of transition, grief, confusion, and growth as they search for God’s presence in their life. Through her own story of loss, betrayal, and abuse, Kimberly has met God in loving and transformational ways. She sees all of life as an invitation to transformation.

Kimberly serves as the Director of Soul Care at a The Mansio Center in Glen Ellyn, IL. Her writing and has been featured at Smallgroups.com, The Redbud Post, The Mudroom, and she is a contributor to Finding God, a Loyola Press newsletter. When she is not writing or serving the Mansio center Kimberly can be found reading a good book, wondering how life produces so much laundry, or traipsing around the woods with her husband and three kids.

Meet Kathy Khang

I (Tammy) met Kathy Khang through Twitter. We had a ton of mutual friends so she kept coming up in my timeline. I noticed how passionate she is about social justice, racial reconciliation, and making Jesus known. I’m constantly impressed by her wisdom and discernment and always challenged by her writing. We’re so excited to introduce Kathy to you and know that you will encounter truth through her.

Kathy currently serves as a regional multiethnic ministries director with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF)/USA. She coauthored More Than Serving Teaabout the intersection of faith, culture and gender, and it tells just part of an important story of Asian American Christian women.

Check out Kathy’s blog Writer, Speaker, Coffee Drinker and follow her on Twitter and Facebook.
