Adriel Booker is a writer, speaker, and curator exploring middle things—like how change and transition, crisis or liminal spaces shape our lives in good and meaningful ways if we stay in the tension long enough to meet God (and ourselves) there. She’s become a trusted voice both inside and outside of the church, most often writing and speaking into themes of faith and doubt, grief and loss, relationships, identity, the generosity storytelling, creativity, and what it means to be found and loved. Adriel served in full time vocational ministry for more than twenty years and yet believes the best and truest spiritual formation and life happen when we gather around the table. She’s the author of Grace Like Scarlett and Tethered to Hope and appeared in places such as Christianity Today and ABC Religion and Ethics. Adriel lives with her husband and three sons among the gum trees and sea breezes of a small town in the Fleurieu Peninsula, Australia on Ramindjeri and Ngarrindjeri Land. Together they own and operate a cafe, vintage shop, and studio for creatives. She writes regularly at The Foundry and can also be found at @adrielbooker or www.adrielbooker.com/.
