Bio

My name is Katie. Just Katie.

My parents considered “Katherine” and “Kathleen,” but knowing they wanted to call me Katie, that’s what they named me. When I married Scott in 2005, he gave me his name, and I became Katie Faris. Together our greatest works in progress are our five children ages 7 to 18.

A pastor’s wife and full-time mom, I also love to write. My most recent book, Every Hour I Need You: 30 Meditations for Moms on the Character of God (Crossway 2025), helps women contemplate the unchanging character of God and discover how his purposes are at work, even in the everyday moments of motherhood. God Is Still Good: Gospel Hope and Comfort for the Unexpected Sorrows of Motherhood (Crossway, January 2023) invites women to experience God’s comfort and leads moms to put their hope in Christ, despite the unexpected trials of raising children.  He Will Be Enough: How God Takes You by the Hand Through Your Hardest Days (The Good Book Company, June 2022) is a journaling devotional with twenty biblical reflections about God’s character that anchor the soul in hard times. And Loving My Children: Embracing Biblical Motherhood (2015) applies gospel love to mom life. I’ve also contributed to The Gospel Coalition, Risen Motherhood, the Focused Pastor, and several other sites. I’d love to connect with you on Instagram or Facebook!

A graduate of Grove City College, I formerly served in youth ministry in rural Pennsylvania, taught in Asia, and worked as a copywriter and editor. Our family worships at Sovereign Grace Church in Marlton, NJ.
