About

Hey y’all, 

I’m Hollie. The slightly warped wife behind The Warped Wife Chronicles, and I’m genuinely glad you found your way here. Grab a chair, pour your coffee (cream and sweeter, don’t be dramatic), and settle in. This space is equal parts faith, grit, laughter, and truth… with maybe a side of sarcasm, because God gave me a personality for a reason.

​

Let’s start with the basics. I’m wildly in love with my husband of eight grace-filled, laughter-loaded years. He’s my safe place, my calm in the chaos, the peanut butter to my jelly, and the reason I haven’t become either a hermit or a Dateline episode. We do life one coffee shop, road trip, prayer, and sarcastic side-eye at a time and honestly, I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

​

Now for the part that surprises people.

​

I’m a certified pastoral counselor, chaplain, and I hold a Doctorate in Biblical Studies. Yes, that means I can pray with you, counsel you, and probably quote Scripture for whatever crisis you’re currently spiraling about (including the ones involving burnt toast, toddlers, or dirty sweats and messy buns). I’ve spent over 20 years in healthcare leadership, weaving faith into clinical spaces and real-life messiness, because ministry doesn’t stop at church doors. And let me be clear ministry isn’t just a pulpit and a microphone.

​

Ministry is:

• Raising kids with grace

• Loving your spouse when it’s hard

• Showing up when no one’s clapping

• Praying, serving, forgiving, and starting over

• Picking up the socks again… for the glory of God. If you’re doing it with love, obedience, and faith it counts in the Kingdom.

​

But wait… there’s more.

​

I’m the proud mama of nine children, seven grown humans walking out adulthood and two precious angel babies in heaven. I’m also a Mimi to eleven wild, wonderful grandbabies and two grand-angel babies who live in my heart forever. My family is loud, loving, layered, sometimes dramatic, and deeply blessed. They are my why.

 

A few things you should absolutely know about me:

• Coffee is a love language. I don’t drink it, I commune with it.

• Music feeds my soul. Jazz, rock, gospel, worship… praising Jesus one off key moment at a time. 

• I love cozy restaurants, deep conversations, passport stamps, and laughing until my stomach hurts.

• Faith and humor have carried me through continents and chaos. From Amsterdam to Africa, different cultures, languages, and seasons, Jesus and laughter have always met me right where I am.

​

So why “Warped Wife”? Because life isn’t Instagram-perfect. Marriage is messy. Motherhood is holy chaos.
Ministry will stretch you. And faith? Faith is often forged in the uncomfortable places.

This blog is where I tell the truth. Here we talk about love and loss. Parenting adult children (which deserves its own support group). Trusting God when life doesn’t make sense. Faith that isn’t fluffy. And yes, confessions like the time I accidentally used hairspray instead of dry shampoo. Hallelujah anyway.

​

This is a space for:

• The spiritually curious

• The slightly frazzled

• The deeply faithful but still human

​

If you love Jesus but occasionally roll your eyes at people…
If you walk in grace but sometimes throat-punch someone in your head…
If you’re trying to live obediently while tripping over laundry piles, grief, joy, and real life 

You’re my kind of people.

​

Welcome to The Warped Wife Chronicles.
Let’s laugh.
Let’s heal.
Let’s grow.
And let’s lean on Jesus, together.

Grace, grit, and a whole lot of faith.
