About Me

Hello, I’m Amy and this is my little corner of the internet! Thanks for visiting.

So about me... My name is Amy Elizabeth Bost.*

I'm a chaplain, writer, teacher, preacher, and spiritual-doula-type.

My favorite topic to think/write/preach about are the stories of Jesus.

Jesus was remarkable in the way he treated people. He surrounded himself with those the society deemed to be of little value -- the poor, the sick, the "sinners.” What is more, Jesus was absolutely revolutionary in the way he treated women. In a culture that saw them as property, he saw them as people. In a world where women weren't even trusted to testify in court, Jesus treated them as smart and creative and powerful. He talked to them, ate with them, worked with them. He knew them as people and called them to think deeply, to believe passionately, and to act accordingly.

I love to imagine how faith in this Jesus can shape our modern lives. What in the world do these ancient stories have to do with us, with our iPhones and air travel?

I actually believe they are actually intensely relevant to our lives, if we read them carefully and ask the right questions. So that's what I try to do.

You can find links to some of my sermons and writing here.

Thanks for being here! I'm honored by your presence. Let’s hang out and discover together that we just might be closer than we know!

*For most of my adult life I was Amy Bost-Henegar and I have five incredible Henegar kids to prove it!
