By Our Community, For Our Community

Meet our WHEN authors below. We love partnering with writers from our community to bring you content that is rooted in Scripture and paired with each writer’s unique life experience. If you’re looking to write an article for us, submit your pitch here.

Meet Our Authors

Meet the writers we’ve partnered with and click on their names to navigate to the articles they’ve written. You may recognize some of them as Hosanna Revival staff, or authors of the printed devotionals we’ve published. You may recognize some of them from Instagram, or you may have never heard of them. Our goal is to create a platform to amplify these voices as they mine the Word, looking for the Scripture’s answers to life’s questions. We’re glad you’re here.

AnnaClaire is a designer at Hosanna Revival, foodie, and lover of all things culture and creativity. As a dreamer and idealist who is learning to embrace small, imperfect beginnings, she seeks to craft real projects for real people in the here and now.

She would love to meet you on Instagram at @annaclairehelene to talk food, deep questions, and everything in between.

From time to time, we receive articles from people who prefer to remain anonymous. Those articles are posted under this anonymous account. Therefore, though all articles posted anonymously will be listed under this account, they are written by a variety of authors.
