Jennifer Wier is a writer, professional counselor, and military spouse currently stationed in the wilds of Alaska with her husband of fifteen years and their four spunky and resilient kids.
Jennifer earned her MA in Counseling Psychology from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and has worked with clergy, university students, teen mothers, and community members in need of mental health support. Jennifer’s mission as both a counselor and a writer is to help people find peace— with God, with others, and with themselves. She is passionate about encouraging people to embrace both the sweet, sweet grace of God and his call to holiness. To spur people on with hope is her greatest joy.
Jennifer’s multi-denominational background has given her a balanced perspective on Christian issues, enabling her to find common ground among believers and to encourage them to focus on the essentials. She has facilitated small group Bible studies through InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, Bible Study Fellowship International, IF:Gathering, the United States military chapel community, and the local church. She currently serves as the Vice President of Spiritual Life for Protestant Women of the Chapel at Eielson Air Force Base.
A Chicago native turned military spouse, Jennifer has lived in England, Japan, Minneapolis, Oklahoma City, Washington, D.C., and various places in between. This transient lifestyle has grown her awareness of the things are unshakeable versus the things that will end up broken, rusty, or lost at sea, igniting within her a passion to chase after what Jesus says will last forever. She regularly writes about the intersection of life and faith here on her blog, where she encourages her readers to keep their eyes on eternity.
