About Taylor Anne

My name is Taylor, and for those of you who are new here, I must say it is an absolute pleasure to have you. I am both a wife and a mother to two remarkable children at this time. My journey into marriage and motherhood has been one of my most refining chapters yet. Through motherhood, I originally lost myself, which only led me to understand what it really takes to live a purposeful life. This chapter I'm currently in changed my heart posture entirely, giving me a desire to serve my husband and family in selfless ways. However, this change didn’t take place because of becoming a wife and a mother; it was something else completely. Someone.

I have done blogging and podcasting in the past, focusing on wellness and personal development. However, I struggled to write and speak from a place of authenticity because I was deeply troubled in my own heart with bitterness, shame, unforgiveness and resentment towards myself and others. I felt like an imposter every time I put out content, especially when discussing peace, because whatever peace I had ever experienced was always dependent on my circumstances. I have always had a passion for personal growth, character development and psychology, but I never knew where to begin or what to do. I have always had a deep desire to teach or lead in some capacity, but no idea where to start. I often second-guessed whether I was even good enough to lead others given my own failures. I began to think, “How can I really help anyone if I can’t even help myself?"

As someone who, after years of pushing back the gospel of Christ and only partaking in “sugar-coated” Christianity, I found purpose not in what I thought I wanted but in obedience to God and His refining work in my life. The more I pursued Him and allowed Him to teach me and correct me, the more my life began to feel empowering and meaningful. He offered me a level of strength outside myself to penetrate my heart and start healing it one step at a time. Through Him, and Him alone, I have discovered my identity and purpose for which I was made, and that is to glorify Him in all that I do.

Although I am certainly not perfect, and sanctification is a lifelong journey, He has grown me into the greatest version of myself, and I’m not even close to where He promises to take me. He desires that all His children have life and have it abundantly. Abundance is promised to those who love and obey Him. "I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance." (John 10: 10) This is the life I desire to help lead people towards.

My only prayer is that, with the work I pursue this time around, and the helping hand of the Lord, we can create a generational shift. This movement will build up the body of Christ in a way that is pleasing to Him while equipping them as disciples to lead and build others up in love, further advancing the gospel to those who need it.

One of my many acts of obedience is starting the Fervent Faith Podcast. This is a place where Christ can be will, and the transformative power of His Word and grace will renew the hearts and minds of its listeners. It will lead believers to live purposefully with the strength of the Lord Himself and grow joyful in obedience, pleasing Him in all we do. After all, isn't He worthy?
