My name is Leslie Konhaeuser. I am a disciple of Jesus, aiming to bring the light of God’s kingdom into my home and community. I am also wife to my loving hubby Christian, mama to my *almost* Irish-twins Leona and Tobias, and Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I’m so glad you’re here!

Join my Virtual Living Room

I believe encouragement and discipleship are best given in the comfort of a living room. That's why I invite you into my virtual living room each week for encouragement to live life fully and faithfully in the thick of it.
