Hi, I’m Julia! I’m an expatriate from Texas, and now live in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania where my husband, Mike, serves as the Senior Pastor of Crossroads Community Church. I spend my days chasing after Jesus and our seven kids. I am passionate about grace. I have been asking and answering questions about healthy relationships for years: as a former banking executive now pastor’s wife, mother of seven, relationship coach, conference speaker, and writer. I am also an Advanced Relational Wisdom Instructor (rw360.org). Welcome to CultivateGrace.org! If you’d like to know more about me and this site, please click here.
