Kierstin O’Brien

I’m a wholehearted follower of Jesus, a devoted wife, loving homeschool mom to my four kids, lead worshipper, extreme extrovert, word-nerd, and lover of the Word.  I call myself the Coffee Date Disciple because I think that my calling to encourage, build up, and spur other believers on over coffee is what the Lord has placed on my heart.  I’m down for talking about Jesus, apologetics, theology, scrunchy mom tips, marriage, parenting, homeschooling, and everything in between.
