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.

Kayla Carthel is a dog mom, future counselor, lover of all iced coffees, and devoted daughter of God. You can typically find her twirling in flowy dresses, listening to true crime documentaries, belting the Hamilton soundtrack, and redecorating the house for the millionth time (much to the consternation of her husband).

Kelley Lee lives in New York City with her husband. After working in college ministry in the Northeast for a few years, she’s now pursuing a graduate degree in clinical psychology. She’s passionate about getting to know people, traveling and exploring new places, hospitality, seeking beautiful things and helping shine a little bit of light in dark places.

Kelsie McCoy

Kelsie is into a little bit of everything, and it all started with her love for words. Her love of writing was inspired by Ann Voskamp and Anne Lamott and cherishing the words they share. Kelsie is a creator and maker at heart, which is why writing is such a love of hers—especially writing about the Lord and his creation. She also very much enjoys knitting, crocheting, embroidery, macrame, and watercolor. Someday she and her husband would love to have their own little homestead with sheep and chickens and a big, wonderful garden.
