Hi my name is ilse marie gomez :) 

These days, I’m pastor of Family Ministries at Houses of Light church, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I was actually born to write and teach — partner with people on the lifelong journey of learning and growing. 

Take a look around, on this site you’ll find my blog posts, a  little more about me, and an opportunity to be part of my monthly email family. 

To partner with me financially, or buy me a cup of coffee: $ilsemarie on cash app or @ilsemarie on Venmo 


Consider this your invitation:
In this corner of the internet we cultivate hope. 
In this corner of the internet we fight to see the light. We’re not just pointing out the silver lining, we’re climbing up the mountain to get to the view.
