Kaitlin Curtice
Meet Kaitlin Curtice

Kaitlin is a writer, worship leader and Native American. Her book, GLORY HAPPENING, which is about finding the extraordinary presence of God in the middle of the ordinary, just went into its second printing. It reads very much like a spiritual diary, with each section offering a prayer of inspiration. Kaitlin lives with her husband and two sons. She had a lot to say about her book, and her own faith journey. Kaitlin is scheduled to be a speaker at the upcoming Why Christian? Conference in 2018. You can read Kaitlin's interview here.
