About

Hello! My name is Meredith Cook.

I am married to Keelan and a stay-at-home-working mom of two not-so-little-anymore redheads. Originally from South Carolina, I now call North Carolina home. After living in Houston for almost five years, I sometimes pretend I’m really from Texas.

I serve as the Grant Coordinator for Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, where I earned a Master of Divinity in Missiology. I am also the author of Go Tell Everyone: 9 Missionaries Who Shared the Good News, a children’s board book about the Great Commission and missionaries, published by B&H Kids. I am passionate about helping families learn how to disciple their children, and specifically how to teach their children about missions and missionaries.

In addition to my day-job, I serve my church through our missionary sending process and as a member of the women’s ministry teaching team. My husband and I host a monthly mission cohort in our home for members of our church who are planning to go overseas. Through this cohort, we pray for God’s work around the world, for missionaries who are already serving overseas, and for those in the room who will be sent out soon. I also developed a missionary care manual and help coordinate missionary care teams for our sent ones.

Most of the articles on this site are introspections on how to live as a Christian in each season of life. As I fumble my way around, I desire to share what I’m learning in case it may help you, too. I will regularly share lists of good articles and books, with the occasional book review thrown in.

When I’m not rushing to carpool, supplying my kids with snacks, or requesting large sums of money from foundations, I enjoy drinking too much coffee, hiking with my family, hosting friends for dinner, reading, and baking.
