Meet Erin

erin whitmer christian speaker writer

Hi, I’m Erin. And like you, maybe, I’m on a road I never would have imagined. My dreams took a detour and then, thankfully, God took the wheel. Eternally obsessed with things that sparkle, I dreamed as a girl that I would be on the stage, in the limelight, living a life bigger than myself. (I hadn’t found that whole humility thing yet!) Throughout my teenage and college years, I pursued theatre and acting, until I realized I wasn’t cut out to live a life of such uncertainty. So I turned instead to writing. (Yes, the joke is on me. Do you know how many people want to be writers? About as many as would-be-actors!) Somewhere in the midst of all my dream chasing, I fell in love with the man who would change the trajectory of everything. We did the whole marriage thing, had a baby, and then tragedy struck.

When our son nearly died at four and a half months old, all those old dreams took a nosedive into the abyss of the brokenhearted, and we struggled to make sense of anything. But in that dark place, we sought the face of God and He showed up in a big way. As it turns out, if you believe, you will see the glory of God (John 11:40). Those young dreams took a detour, but God has shown me that those phases, perceived failures, and even tragedy have been fateful encounters with my purpose – and boy have they humbled me. And here is where it comes full circle, and I’m thankful that God took the wheel when He did.

“Now, in this crazy world of hashtags and broken people, I get to share my journey of redemption and hope with you. No matter where you come from, your background, or how you’ve been broken, I can’t wait to share with you how YOU’VE been created to shine.”

Here’s a quick guide on how to navigate my website. Thank you for stopping by and for reading along.

How Are We Condemning Our Christian Friends Instead of Encouraging Them?

How Are We Condemning Our Christian Friends Instead of Encouraging Them?

As Christians we are instructed biblically to be holy, righteous and to live according to the fruit of the spirit. When we invite the Holy Spirit into our life by accepting Christ as our savior we receive this fruit. In our youth as Christians this fruit might look more like a blossom than the fruit…

Four Steps To Remembering You’re Blessed

Four Steps To Remembering You’re Blessed

Have you even forgotten you’re blessed? I have. And it was only days ago. But here’s what I’ve discovered since. I was standing in the checkout aisle at Home Depot. As the cashier scanned the three blue rolls of painting tape, he asked how I was doing. I muttered something, maybe along the lines of…

Faith to Pray (When You’re Not Sure Your Have It)

I gave birth to the most perfect, pink barrel-chested baby almost nine years ago. The doctor called me a rock star for lasting past 9 CM for my epidural. (Natural child birthers and other Wonder Womans, please give this win to me.) Four months later I dropped him off at daycare and kissed that precious…
