Walking down the street in Truckee California on a warm Thursday evening during Farmer’s Market, Michael and I came across this unique offering.

Trafficking in Truth
June 10, 2019 / by Kathryn Redman posted in Life with Jesus, Personal Reflections
“I can’t get away with anything.!”
That is what our daughter Jenna would say growing up. She knew that if she did something she wasn’t supposed to do she would absolutely get caught.
It wasn’t a matter of if, just when.
Life is a series of moments
May 31, 2019 / by Kathryn Redman posted in Personal Reflections
Life is a series of moments. Time moving forward relentlessly, minute by minute, day by day.
Many go by unnoticed.
Then suddenly one moment jumps out. An observation made. Sudden clarity. A conversation that leaves a mark. A song that will forever conjure up place, time and circumstance.
Hard Truth & Ridiculous Grace
May 18, 2019 / by Kathryn Redman posted in Life with Jesus, Personal Reflections
Every once in a while, a song comes along with a lyric that moves you deeply.
It winds its way into your heart and soul. It seeps in and saturates.
It changes you.
On Being a Mom
May 12, 2019 / by Kathryn Redman posted in Life with Jesus, Personal Reflections
Last week I had the privilege of having coffee with a woman in my church who reached out to me so she could ask my advice on parenting.
Nice.
Unusual. But nice.
As a full-time working mom of an only child, let's just say that the moms who have asked for my advice have been few and far between.
Telling Yourself the Truth
May 06, 2019 / by Kathryn Redman posted in Business, Personal Reflections
I discovered I made a mistake with a client recently.
It was a decent sized mistake with implications and significant consequences.
This photo depicts the feeling I had. Shock, disbelief. A sense of "I can't believe what I'm seeing.
A print job that needed to be delivered for an important conference and was hung up at the printer. Not their fault. My fault. 100% my fault. A simple mistake. No chance it could get there in time.
Who Was the Woman at the Well?
May 01, 2019 / by Kathryn Redman posted in Life with Jesus, Speaking and Teaching
Have you ever looked at a well-worn passage of the Bible and suddenly wondered if the prevailing teaching you have heard is actually right? Something gnaws at you. A sense that maybe there is another story that hasn’t been told.
I recently encountered this gnawing sense while working on a sermon I preached on March 10th. My passage was John 4, the well-known story of the Woman at the Well. The Samaritan woman.
Holy Saturday.
The in between. The day after the shock and trauma of death.
The waking up, if sleep was had at all, to the brief hope that it was all a nightmare. Then the dawning thud of reality. He's not coming home. She's not coming home. Life as we know it has fundamentally shifted. We will never be the same.
The Day After.
Saturday, March 9th I had a moment.
It was the day after I reached Level 53 in the game of life (ie. my 53rd birthday).
I was having a conversation with my husband, Michael, trying to nail down some final thoughts for a sermon I was preaching the next day about the woman at the well in John 4, and he said something that seemed innocuous but sparked something in me. He said “you certainly have your moments” which was (in this case anyway) a compliment! We all have our moments, for better or for worse, and that day I realized something that was holding me back and decided to change.
