My life verse is Deuteronomy 30:20: “Love the LORD your God, listen to His voice, and hold fast to Him. For the LORD is your life.” This verse captures the heart of my desire—to let my love for God be evident in every part of my life. Whether I’m parenting one of my kids, preparing a meal for my family, speaking to a crowd, or sitting quietly with the Lord in the early morning, my goal is the same: to hold fast to Him, because He is my life.
I’m the co-founder of Hope Ridge, a local ministry that provides a place for guests to get away and spend time with the Lord, and the founder of Meredith K. Read Ministries, created to encourage and inspire women in their walk with Jesus. I also serve as the Director of Women and Family Ministries at Faith Community Church.
When I’m not serving or speaking, you can usually find me spending time with my family, hiking in the woods, or catching up with a friend over a good cup of coffee. My greatest joy and most important calling is being a wife and mom to our four amazing kids.
