Welcome to Seeds & Stories

I’m so glad you’re here.

Seeds & Stories is a space created for families—especially parents—who are walking the beautiful, complicated journey of faith together. It’s for the in-between moments: the car rides, the quiet prayers, the questions you didn’t expect, and the stories that are still unfolding.

I’ve spent many years in ministry, first as a children’s pastor, then alongside my husband as senior pastor, and now—after a long and meaningful season—I’ve felt a gentle calling back to working with children and families. What I’ve learned along the way is this: faith is rarely built in big, dramatic moments. More often, it grows slowly, like seeds planted in everyday life.

Scripture reminds us, “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9). This space is about trusting that quiet, faithful planting matters—even when growth feels slow or unseen.

This blog will hold reflections, encouragement, practical ideas, and honest conversations about raising children, nurturing faith, and walking with God as a family—imperfectly, faithfully, and with grace. From time to time, I’ll also invite trusted voices to share their wisdom and stories here as well.

Whether you’re brand new to faith, returning after a long season away, or simply trying to lead your family well in a noisy world, you are welcome here. My hope is that Seeds & Stories feels like a place to pause, breathe, and remember that God is still at work—often in ways we don’t see right away.

Thank you for being here. I can’t wait to walk this journey together.

🤍 With Grace, Toni
