More About Me

Born and raised in Texas, Joani’s love for the Arts began at the age of 3 when she took her first dance class. Leading roles in school musicals, vocal ensembles, and dance team activities were merely steps to pursuing a degree in dance and theatre education from Stephen F. Austin State University.

Joani moved to Arizona in 1987 where she had "Damascus Road" encounter with Jesus that radically changed her life. In 1992 Joani joined the staff at Word of Grace Church (a 4000+ member congregation), where she became a licensed/ordained Pastor and Director of the departments of Creative Service Programming and Theatrical Arts. With a unique calling by God she initiated and built Word of Grace’s Theatrical Arts Program from the ground up.

Joani takes the reader on a tender journey to the heart of God…step by step…story by story…she leads us to the secret place where God holds his children close to him through great pain and great joy. The path begins with a relatable story and then a meditation on scriptures and then a gentle directive to search our hearts and identify what we need to give to the Lord and then a prayer followed by a chance to hear from God about next steps. This devotional is an exercise in communing with the King and remembering our place as princesses in his Kingdom. It’s an exciting and liberating journey to straighten our crowns…. not through legalism, condemnation, or shame but through forgiveness, communication with our Savior, and unconditional love.
