Gabrielle Engle is a preacher, pastor and writer. She’s passionate about cultivating community in everyday life. You can often find her digging in the dirt of her gardens, hosting meals in her front yard, or taking her dog Thurman for a walk in the neighborhood. There’s a good chance she’s cooking up a new adventure to go on and collecting stories to tell along the way. Currently- she resides in Benton Harbor, MI where she is an active member of several non-profits related to youth and education. She also heads up an urban garden in her neighborhood.
I never expected to be a prodigal daughter. At least, not the kind that wanders into the fields and mountains away from the home I had known. But here I am walking the edges of the wilderness and wondering when I’ll find my way back. Who I am outside the confines of what I once knew- the job, the security, the relationships, the certain answers all of it had to be left behind.
