Welcome, friend. I’m glad you’re here..
If we haven’t met before, I’m Abbey. I'm the thankful wife of David, who I met while working for RUF shortly after I finished my time at UNC Chapel Hill. Together, we have three young sons. We live, work, and play on the beautiful SC coast, where David sells real estate and I manage our home, write, and raise our boys. I love to travel to speak and to teach the Bible, but my favorite place to serve is at our home church, Hilton Head Presbyterian Church (PCA)..
I get fired up about fall weather, planting and growing things, writing, sewing, french country furniture, theology, baking, good books, and good conversation. Discipleship and Biblical Literacy are my passions, and I love to see the way that the gospel transforms how people think and live. I particularly love to apply that good news to the subjects of shame, parenting, motherhood, marriage, and miscarriage..
In 2020 I released my first book, Held: 31 Biblical Reflections on God’s Comfort and Care in the Sorrow of Miscarriage. It is also my joy to curate and produce the annual Gentle Leading Advent Devotional for Moms. I write for my own blog (now hosted on this site but formerly at gentleleading.com), and regularly micro-blog on Instagram (linked below). If you’d like, you can find more writing and podcast interviews here.
Have a look around, and please, don’t hesitate to introduce yourself.
