Amy Jo Garner

Bio

Amy Jo Garner is a graduate of Northwest Nazarene University with a Master of Arts degree in Religion with a concentration in Pastoral Ministry. She lives a relatively secluded life as a freelance writer/editor. Before answering the call to a life of ministry, she graduated from the University of South Carolina with a BA in English and a MA in Journalism. Her prior career includes work in the banking and aerospace industries and as a teacher and career counselor at a small college. Amy is a working, tax-paying citizen and does not take any financial gain from this ministry. She strives to live a life of voluntary simplicity – gardening and tending to her chickens and other animals. Although she's not a hermit, she limits her social life to a few close friends and family, preferring to spend her days listening, observing, writing and painting. As near as she can tell, God is most easily found in the simple, quiet moments of life. She worships at the historic St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral in downtown Oklahoma City.
