I’m a wife, mom, grandmother, teacher, animal lover, and a woman of faith who has spent a lot of time wondering whether the way we live is on purpose or by default.

Are we living the way we are told we are supposed to live?

The Great Co-Mission grew out of a couple of questions I kept asking:

What if there were another way? What if I made new choices outside the box?

What if life were slower and more intentional? What if families had more time for each other? What if we grew some of our own food, personally cared for our neighbors, taught our children practical skills, used our resources wisely, and depended a lot less on systems we cannot control?

What if faith isn’t simply something we practice on Sunday, but instead something that shapes the way we live the whole week long?

I don’t have all the answers. In fact, that’s part of the reason this site exists.

The Great Co-Mission is a place to ask questions, explore possibilities, learn practical skills, strengthen our faith and communities, and begin building something better right where we are—here, today.

I don’t have it all figured out. I’m learning. Some things will work. Some won’t. Plans will change, and new questions will pop up. And I will share that journey here.

Maybe changing our lives—and our communities—doesn’t begin with having everything all figured out.

Maybe it begins by asking:

What if . . . ?
