Substacks recommended by Sarah Jo Austin

Recommended by Sarah Jo Austin

Hi, I'm Liz. I'm writing about my journey with God—the messy, the merry, and the bits in between. This space is where faith meets vulnerability, as I share what I'm learning about inner healing, emotional honesty, and the relentless love of God. Welcome

I love how Liz tackles the heaviness of life with Scripture without any sort of heavy-handed preaching.

Whatever Is

By Murphy

A place to think about whatever is good, beautiful, true, commendable, and praiseworthy in a way that honors Jesus.

I so appreciate the spiritual wisdom Murphy brings to Substack!

Reality Theology with Griffin Gooch

I study reality (psychology, neuroscience, sociology, politics, philosophy, creative advice, history) and connect it to theology.

Saltmother Versecraft

By Carolina Martin

Original poetry and stories for deep-feeling, tender-hearted readers who meet difficult beauty with an open heart.

Carolina's poetry begs to be savored. One read-through will not do. What a gift to the literary world!

Gathered and Scattered

By Jenn

Stories lived, imagined, collected, and shared. Also let's be honest. Sometimes I have my stuff together, and sometimes I'm all over the place.

I love Jenn's spiritual essays. They take me where I didn't know I needed to go for the day!

Soul Care for Wounded Healers

By Bethany Dearborn Hiser

As a fellow wounded healer, I offer holistic trauma-informed soul care reflections and resources. We need to know and tend to ourselves in order to be well, love others well, and because we are loved. Join the brave work of recovery & slowing down.

Bethany's work was a God-send as I navigated my own burnout after years in front-line ministry.

The Lēros Project

By Tiffany Yecke Brooks

Shedding toxicity, building healthy faith

I can't help but love Tiffany's voice: Always poking at the tricky things that are difficult to look at directly but with a lovely dose of not taking herself too seriously. Also... primo meme game.
