i’m so glad you’re here.
hi! i’m jenai auman.
I am a Filipina American writer, artist, & storyteller living in Houston, TX with my husband and two sons. Drawing from my years of church ministry experience, education, and trauma-related training, I write on healing, wholeness, and holistic spiritual formation. My work has been featured on Christianity Today’s Better Samaritan Blog, She Reads Truth, and The Fallow House. I work to empower those who feel “othered” or have been marginalized in traditional Christian spaces. I do so, in part, by partnering with the following nonprofit organizations:
Broken to Beloved (3x summit speaker)
The Remembered Table (current board member)
Reclamation Collective (current board member)
Made for PAX (cohort facilitator & educator)
My first trade book published with Baker Books in summer 2024. To connect and engage, you can find me on Instagram or Substack.
I’m glad you’re here. I’m rooting for you.
