About Natalie Guy

Welcome!

I am so glad you are here! I write here about topics I would discuss with you if we were hanging out together having coffee, if we were on a walk, or if I invited you over for dinner. I love sharing about everyday things, whether it’s regarding a compelling article, a fantastic book, a tasty recipe, a travel tip, beauty finds, or my faith in Jesus.

My purpose is to encourage your soul in the daily pursuit of God using anecdotes about life, faith, food, and friendship. My hope for you is to read each post and then feel inspired, educated, or encouraged. Please feel comfortable and welcome.

More about me: I am married to my college sweetheart, Tony, and we have three incredible adult children- all married to wonderful people!  My husband was the Couple’s Ministry Pastor for years at our former church, and together we have taught couples studies, offered Biblical counseling, led family ministry, mentored couples, led Bible studies and workshops, and facilitated seminars for over 20 years.

I graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara, with a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and later went back to earn my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. I have been an educator for most of my adult life. I love learning and then sharing that knowledge. Passing on information is a passion of mine!

I completed a two-year school of ministry program that covered Biblical history, surveys of the Old and New Testament, preaching, teaching, and counseling. I have taught women’s Bible studies and mentored women for many years, led women through Biblical counseling, and currently teach/speak at retreats (see more about that here.) I absolutely love teaching, whether it is in the classroom, in my home, for women’s events, or in the kitchen.

I love to cook and bake, and I believe the kitchen is the heart of the home. Over a decade ago, I discovered I could no longer eat gluten. It was devastating at first, but I have since learned to cook just about anything gluten-free (and dairy-free).

I love to feed people (I think that should be the sixth Love Language!), and this quote describes how I feel:

“The heart of hospitality is about creating space for someone to feel seen and heard and loved. It’s about declaring your table a safe zone, a place of warmth and nourishment.“

Shauna Niequist, Bread and Wine: A Love Letter to Life Around the Table with Recipes.

Finally, a few more things about me:

  • I’ve had my nose in a book since I began reading. I’m never without a book. 📚
  • Champagne is my favorite drink because life is worth celebrating!🍾
  • I love to travel because I enjoy experiencing new places, learning about other cultures, and exploring the treasures in our extraordinary world.✈️
  • Looking up at the sky, watching a sunrise or sunset, and staring at the ocean waves make me happy.☀️

I would love to hear from you.  Send me an email, comment here, or find me on Facebook or Instagram.  I am here to chat so let’s be friends 🙂 I look forward to getting to know you!
