Stacy is a pastor's wife, momma of four kids ranging from ten to twenty, writer and speaker. My aim in writing is to point others to Christ through the beauty of words, application of the Bible and lessons I'm learning in my own life. 

  She's always loved the beauty of words that are strung together well. In college I began journaling my life experiences and newfound faith in Christ. I never imagined that many of those lessons would later be used in articles designed to minister to others. God's surprising and good plans are so much better than anything I could have dreamed. Several years ago I was going through a particularly difficult season of life and ministry. As I studied the life of Moses and the wilderness journey of the Israelites, I saw reflections in my own life. Some of my first published articles originated from that wilderness time and later led to the publication of my book entitled Wilderness Wanderings: Finding Contentment in the Desert Times of Life. It's a poignant reminder that God doesn't waste our suffering.    StacyReaoch.com   Become a Patreon Supporter!

After spending a few years in the campaign and elections field, Ashley Guzik followed God's nudge and took a leap of faith to accept a job at the San Diego Rescue Mission, a faith-based shelter and rehabilitation program for those experiencing homelessness. With a quick stint assisting the Development Team, Ashley transitioned into the Church and Community Engagement department, where she serves as the Manager of Church Partnerships. For the past four years at the Rescue Mission, Ashley has inspired local churches to take an active role in healing the San Diego region from homelessness. Ashley and her team help equip churches with outreach training, resources, and tools to love our unsheltered neighbors as kindly and compassionately as Christ would. From speaking at Sunday church services and Vacation Bible Schools around the County, Ashley feels encouraged by the spirit of revival coming into San Diego's pews and streets. 

 

Ashley grew up in San Clemente, CA, and earned a Bachelor of Arts in International Peace Studies from Point Loma Nazarene University.
