Julie has been a public speaker for over twenty years, passionately encouraging and inspiring women to apply God’s truth to everyday life. She has been the featured speaker at women’s retreats and special events. For five years she served as Teaching Director for Community Bible Study and lectured weekly to a class of over 200 women. 

As a surgical nurse, Julie went on a medical mission trip to Guyana, South America thirteen years ago.  Upon her return she wrote an exemplar about her experience and was awarded the Florida Nurses Association’s Clinical Excellence Award. The impact of that mission trip was a catalyst that sparked her writing career.  

Recently Julie has been writing devotions for Barbour Publishing. She has written over 140 devotions that appear in the six featured books on this website.

Julie also works as a surgical nurse in an outpatient orthopedic surgery center in Atlanta.  Scott and Julie have been married 32 years.  They have two grown children and two grandchildren.
