About this site

Did you ever need an outlet because your life is so full that it is running over?

My brain is full, and so is my heart, so I needed some place to share all that has runs around inside of me. The last few years have been a time of much growth, change, and learning in my life. The more I learn, the more questions I have and the more I find myself musing about life, purpose, meaning, value, and what I am here for.

Please stop by for visit any time you want some food for thought. I have plenty of questions and things to think about, but there may not be many answers. You are welcome to comment and dialogue. I would love the interaction. The things I post come mostly from what I see, hear, and read from others. It is people like you who inspire me to think, grow, and change. If I was left to myself I would be happy staying in my nice little rut!

Sherie Drew is single (never married), and lives near Portland, Oregon. She works a day job to pay the bills, but her real work is an equipper, advocate, speaker, and aspiring author.

Raised in the church as the daughter of a pastor, Sherie grew into faith and a life of service. She has spent more than 25 years as a believer who has been actively involved in churches and ministry, especially to students. During the last few years Sherie wrestled through issues of disillusionment and disconnection with how she witnessed and experienced the Church and Christianity. Never doubting who God was, but struggling with her journey of understanding and relating to Him and wrestling with a lot of the theologies and doctrines taught by churches, she asked some of the hardest core questions that we can ask in our faith. She learned that the foundations of our faith, our image of God, and our understanding of our identity are vitally important to understanding and living a life that is transformed and vitally connected to God. Now she is taking all she has learned to be an advocate and activist for others who are struggling through this same journey, or those who just want to deepen their walk with God and daily live out a life of true commitment.

After years of serving in ministry within the church Sherie is now very actively involved in serving the community around her in practical ways and inspiring others to share in that work. She is passionate about the disunity and brokenness that exists in the body of Christ, and how that keeps the church from reaching outside of itself to those in need. She is very actively involved with local organizations in Portland that are working to unify and connect churches, serve the practical needs in the community, reach the disillusioned and dechurched, and building firm foundations in students and young adults to help them be the leaders in our churches and communities in the future.

Sherie also is a strong supporter of several movements, organizations, and efforts that are working on national or global levels to restore hope, health, and life to those in need. These efforts and charitable causes tug at her heart strings and she is working as an advocate to bring light to the work they are doing.
