about

the mission
This past year’s Synod on The Word of God in the Life and Mission of the Church was thrilling to Sonja, as promoting the widespread and prayerful reading, understanding, and proclamation of the Scriptures is the purpose of her ministry, and one that has never been more timely:

“Leading men and women to God, to the God who speaks in the Bible: This is the supreme and fundamental priority of the Church and of the successor of Peter at the present time," said Pope Benedict the XVI in his letter to the world’s bishops, made public March 12, 2009.

Sonja fosters this contact with God, that is, biblical literacy and serious Christianity at the pew level, primarily through Scripture studies, but also through multi-media. After teaching successfully for more than nine years, she founded a non-profit as an evangelical when two of her own deep needs became apparent and increasingly widespread within that church: the availability of more demanding study regiments and materials for the laity, and a quieter, more integrated and rooted atmosphere for intimate study and worship. Serving both itinerantly and locally in churches, on radio and TV, she was privileged for several years to witness many awakenings to the delights and effects of the Scriptures.

After having found the Church as both the "pillar and foundation of truth" and the desire of her heart, Sonja has recently begun "getting back to her roots" by focusing exclusively on adult education in the Scriptures. Although she has extensive experience in speaking to large leadership and lay groups at conferences, workshops and retreats, she is new to the Catholic speaker scene, having been kept busy for the past several years as a Director of Religious Education. Sonja continues writing Bible studies and teaching workshops, seminars, and conferences aimed at inspiring a love for and literacy in the Scriptures.

In every form, the Word of God is Sonja's favorite thing. As an author and speaker in the area of religious education in the Scriptures, her potent Bible teaching, vivid speaking style, and gripping Bible studies motivate and equip Christians everywhere who are pursuing the summits of the spiritual life. A former Director of Religious Education, Sonja has recently begun focusing exclusively on adult religious education in the Scriptures. She also teaches regular studies, home schools and lives in Tennessee. She and her husband, Bob, are ardent parents of two sons.

Besides her devotion to the Sacred Writings and their Author, Sonja delights in a pot of apricot tea, her rocking chair and quilt on the porch of her farmhouse, the English countryside, Austen, Dickens and Michael Crighton novels, and long hikes through the Blue Ridge Mountains.
