She is happily married to Edward, a die-hard basketball fan, and currently expecting their miracle IVF baby. They live in the City Beautiful, Orlando, Fl.

That’s why Styld by Grace is infused with all things art & design.   Theresa is an avid coffee drinker, but vanilla chamomile tea is what she drinks now that she is preggo. She has the biggest sweet tooth and would much rather skip dinner to have dessert. And because she lives in Orlando, you’ll catch her at Disney World quite often. She cannot get enough Disney magic in her life! Mostly, Theresa loves Jesus and serving people, Styld by Grace is an expression of that love.   Check out the blog here: https://styldbygrace.com/   If you would like to be on the Missional Life Podcast and share your story please email me at : missionallifeinquiry@gmail.com   Please leave a review, subscribe, download, and rate this podcast so others can be encouraged as well!   New episodes are posted every other week.   Have a great and blessed week!
