“But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.”
Acts 20:24

Hey there, I’m Sailor!
As a co-host of the Called and Kept podcast, I’m constantly reminded of two things: 1) God has a unique calling for each one of us, and 2) He will always keep us close as we walk out that calling. Honestly, how amazing is it that we get to live with purpose, pursuing the path He’s designed just for us?
I grew up in a small town in Oregon, where I’ve been blessed with an incredible community, lifelong friends (including my husband!), and now, I’m excited to raise our sweet baby girl here.
I’m all about the simple joys in life—shopping, cooking, baking, reading, and of course, spending time with the people I love. I’m a bit of a paradox: organized yet messy (sounds a lot like life, right?). And above all, I love Jesus with my whole heart.
I’m so excited to continue this journey with you through the podcast. I know God’s going to teach both of us a lot, and I can’t wait to dive into the mess of life, faith, and purpose together.

Kate here!
Cohost of Called and Kept, reminding you (and myself!) that no matter what we face, we are called by God and kept in His grace.
Born and raised in the Willamette Valley, I’ve always felt at home in the outdoors. You’ll probably find me outside—hunting, camping, or soaking up sunshine—and always smiling or laughing (usually one of the two!). I’m a big family girl, and spending time with loved ones is one of my greatest joys. I share these moments with my husband, Logan—my junior high sweetheart and best friend.
I look forward to this podcast being a space where we can dive deep into scripture, find strength for the everyday struggles, and discover the joy and purpose God has for us.
