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.

Haley is a public school teacher in the Dallas area, a lover of youth ministry, and a firm believer that a slow morning filled with coffee and Jesus is one of the greatest things on this side of heaven. As a lover of all things cozy, you’ll likely find her grabbing coffee with a high schooler after work or watching a silly television show with her roommates in the evenings. She is also the author of Rooted to Rise, a devotional published by Hosanna Revival.

Haley is an international aid worker, born and raised in Southern California. A lover of slow mornings, deep chats, and the color mustard yellow, her idea of the perfect day starts with too many cups of coffee around the kitchen table with friends and family. Her pipe dreams include owning a dog, visiting an elephant sanctuary, and experiencing an East Coast autumn. Currently living and working in the Middle East, she is passionate about making Christ known in every corner of the world.
