Meet the Voice Behind the Purpose Filled Family

Hello there! 

I’m Emily and I am the voice behind the Purpose Filled Family. I am a Jesus-follower, wife, and mom of two wild and crazy boys. I work as a school-based occupational therapist and have a passion for helping kiddos of all abilities grow closer to Jesus and fulfill their God-given purposes in life. 

There are many areas in my life that have come together to create the Purpose Filled Family for you and I couldn’t be more excited about it. 

First, being a school-based OT, I’ve worked with children who have a wide range of abilities and needs. I’ve also worked with countless parents who struggle to understand how to better support their child’s unique learning, sensory, and developmental needs at home. 

Second, as a long-time follower of Christ and parent of young kids, I know how hard it can be to disciple my kids in the ways of Jesus during the chaos of everyday life and, honestly, a lot of the online resources I found out there left my husband and I feeling overwhelmed and still unsure of how to start and continue the discipleship process with our boys. 

And third, as I’ve worked in many different children’s ministries throughout my life, I’ve found that many Christian parents of children with unique needs have difficulty finding resources to disciple their kids at home in many different areas such as:

• Memorizing Scripture
• Understanding Biblical concepts 
• Daily prayer and devotional time 

If you find yourself in the chaos of parenthood, or a caregiver of a child with special needs or even a church ministry worker looking for activities and discipleship resources, I am here to support you and give you all the tips based on my education and experiences.
