Hi. Hello. I’m Sarah—a writer, perpetual question-asker, and contemplative at heart. Through words, my work explores the communal life, that intersection of faith, belonging, and being a human person. I’m glad our paths have crossed!

If we are new to each other, feel free to look around. A great place to start is to sign up for my Substack newsletter, Human Together, or check out the podcast (which happens to go by the same name). If you prefer long form or want to dig in a bit deeper, you can grab a copy of my recent book The Way of Belonging: Reimagining Who We Are and How We Relate (available in both print, digital, and audio formats).

Weaving together personal narrative, research, and spiritual practice, The Way of Belonging: Reimagining Who We Are and How We Relate invites us to approach belonging as a way of being—a posture of divine welcome that is ours to embrace and extend in the middle of our everyday lives.

Join Sarah and guests for Human Together—a podcast on the communal life. This is a podcast for people who agree it is not good to be alone (but still secretly wonder whether it might be easier).

Being an actual human person is full of complexity, and we often convince ourselves it is easier to keep people at distance than to show up as we are. (“Will I be too awkward and clumsy? Too much or not enough? What if they find out how I voted?!”) But out of divine communion, God made us. He embedded this need for with-ness in our bones, and as much as we try, we cannot separate loving God from loving each other.

With that in mind, I invite you to subscribe to Human Together over on Substack, where you can find essays, podcast episodes, and a book club all related to the communal life.
