I’m Erika. I am an author, leader and speaker for those who want to live a holistically beautiful and authentic life for Jesus.
As a wife and mama of two kids, my days are busy and filled with lots of spills, carpool lines, and scrambling to get dinner on the table! But like you, I long to live a life of authentic purpose.
A few years ago, God put it on my heart to pick up a pen and write. I wrote to process grief, unknown health challenges, anxiety and everything in between. What I found was something truly beautiful…
God met me there.
His story and His heart were slowly etched into the pages of my words. So I kept writing, and here I am today, thousands of words later and still waiting to see what God does next!
“Come to me, all who are weary and heavy burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28
Through writing, I have found healing in the most unexpected places. I am still processing hard things, but I enjoy doing that alongside others like you who understand and who have the same desire to cling to Jesus.
In 2026, the “God Who Sees You” Podcast was born. The name comes from Genesis 16:13 where Hagar spoke to God in the wilderness.
She spoke to God, naming Him El Roi, and saying, “You are the God who sees me,”
In each message, my goal is to encourage you to remember that the Creator of the Universe really does care about you - He really does see you. We will dive into biblical topics and concepts, always approaching God’s word with humility and asking for His grace. I hope you always walk away encouraged, feeling like God saw you that day!

Over the course of the last few years I have written books and devotionals to encourage believers in their walk with the Lord.
Published in 2021, Invited to Rest brings believers to a place of experiencing Jesus during the hurry of the holiday season.
In 2023, both Quieted by His Love and Invited to Worship came out. The first was born out of wanting to share my personal journey with anxiety and how God transformed even the hard moments to show me His love. Invited to Worship is an honest exploration of moments of worship throughout the Christmas story.
In 2024, The Silent Battle hit the shelves, as I detailed my own personal journey through spiritual warfare and the things God taught me along the way.
I am honored to serve at my local church and anywhere God leads me to speak.
I always like to tell the story of how God transformed my fear of speaking into a boldness that I still can’t believe exists to this day. I serve in my local church teaching bible studies as well as a class on prayer and spiritual warfare. I truly love God’s Word and love the chance to teach when He calls me to it. Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s degree in theological studies from Talbott School of Theology.
