About Julie
Hi, I’m Julie.
Hi, I’m Julie Yost — a beloved daughter of God, wife, mother, author, teacher, and friend. I love to dance and laugh, linger over coffee with a dear friend, and sing praises to the Lord at the top of my lungs in my living room!
As a sister in Christ who has endured deep suffering — including the loss of children and a battle with breast cancer — I’ve come through these trials with profound confidence in the Lord and grace-filled treasures to share. I’d love to tell you of the hope and freedom I have found in Jesus and in my Catholic faith, and to walk with you and pray for you — wherever you find yourself on your journey.
Let’s strive together to live the abundant life the Lord promises in every season of our lives — in the waiting, the hoping, the celebrating, and yes… even in the suffering!
