As a child, I hated writing! And writing didn’t like me either. My teacher’s made that clear. It was dreaded work and required a creativity that seemed to evade me. I spent my first three years at the University of Utah in the school of business. I wanted to be a restauranteur and a business education made sense. I bounced between every field of business and it all tasted like sand in my mouth. Then a life-altering encounter changed the trajectory of my life. Down with the business degree! My senior year, I declared communications as my new major—thinking it was all about talking. Those three, five-page essays due every Friday blew my uneducated “talking” theory out of the water. After three semesters of writing hours on end under attentive professors… I became a writer. I was raised in a devout Mormon family in Salt Lake City, Utah and believed the Church to be true with all my heart. During my freshman year at the the University of Utah, I began dating a baseball player who called himself a born-again Christian. This relationship catapulted me into a terrifying search I had never envisioned for my life. In my determination to prove the truth of Mormonism, I was introduced to the love and grace of the biblical God. And all I wanted to do was share about this Jesus with others, so I joined the staff of Cru, a global Christian organization. All of the juicy details of my journey are in my book Out of Zion: Meeting Jesus in the Shadow of the Mormon Temple. I was born to question the status quo and have experienced the deep loneliness which accompanies this reality. My desire to be a trustworthy traveling companion and spiritual guide to others led me to become a Spiritual Director through New Way Ministries under Larry Crabb’s tutelage. I am passionate about journeying with you through your questions, spiritual highs and lows, and dark nights of the soul. My hunger to know what I believe and gain a deeper understanding of biblical theology and spiritual growth led me into a two-year certificate program with Renovaré Institute for Christian Spiritual Formation. I am passionate about helping you catch a clearer vision of God and encourage you in your journey of spiritual formation. I value family and I am crazy about mine. My husband Dennis and I have been blessed with five, spirited children, whom I homeschooled for 13 years—it felt like three lifetimes. Our kids range from 23-15 years of age. I love beauty and offering you a taste of beauty through hospitality, tantalizing food and deep conversation. So whether you’re at my physical table in Orlando—or here at my virtual table (lisabrockman.me)—my desire is to nourish your body and soul.
