Jen Hatmaker happily lives in Austin, Texas, where the city motto is “Keep Austin Weird.” (and she is certainly doing her part.) Jen and her husband, Brandon, have three kids—Gavin, Sydney, and Caleb—though the 6-year-old recently suggested that rather than belong to a family who has to “learn to make good choices,” he’d rather be homeless. (As of this writing, he hasn’t taken to the streets yet.)
Brandon and Jen joined the adventurous, neurotic world of missional church planters in March 2008 when they started Austin New Church, a community of faith obsessed about bringing justice and restoration to the city and the world. God continues to move mightily through this young church despite the good to excellent chance Jen and Brandon have of sabotaging it.
Jen, the author of Interrupted has written seven other books and Bible studies, including The Modern Girl’s Guide to Bible Study series and Ms. Understood. She travels all over the United States speaking at conferences and retreats, even to Iowa during a blizzard though she doesn’t own a coat (Austin may be weird, but it’s warm).
