Hi! I'm Mary Alice.

Pastor, Speaker, Writer… and Storyteller.

I find the sacred in the most unexpected moments and resonate with questions more than answers— with stories instead of lengthy sermons. Even after letting go of parts of the faith tradition I inherited, I still believe that Love always gets the final word of the story.

Telling the Bigger Story

Because Your Story Isn’t Finished Yet.

I believe there’s always a bigger story unfolding—bigger than the ones we’ve been handed and even the ones we tell ourselves on repeat.

The heart of my work is:

  • To create space for you to be present to wonder
  • To speak a word of hope when it feels hardest to hold
  • To help you take your next brave step in the bigger story.

Your Next Brave Step Starts Here.

Every community needs words that spark courage, resilience, and hope. Mary Alice inspires audiences to imagine a bigger story—and take their next brave step.

A Bigger Story in Your Inbox.

Your inbox is already overflowing. But this isn’t just another email. It’s a moment to pause in the chaos. To remind ourselves of the bigger story.

Here’s what makes it different:

  • Not more noise, but spiritual depth and nourishment. 
  • Not easy answers, but honest questions for today’s world.
  • Not religious chatter, but stories you can carry with you, wherever you are on your journey.

Telling the Bigger Story is a newsletter for those rethinking faith, carrying questions and curiosities, and longing for hope when it feels hard to find.

If that’s you—let’s lean into the bigger story, together.
