Kat Armas is a Cuban American writer, speaker, and theologian from Miami, FL. She holds a ThM from Vanderbilt Divinity School, and a dual MDiv and MAT from Fuller Theological Seminary where she was awarded the Frederick Buechner Award for Excellence in Writing. Her first book, Abuelita Faith: What Women on the Margins Teach Us About Wisdom, Persistence and Strength, sits at the intersection of women, decolonialism, the Bible, and Cuban identity. Her second book, Sacred Belonging: A 40-day Devotional on the Liberating Heart of Scripture invites readers to encounter the Bible through a decolonized lens, lifting up themes of creation, wisdom, spirit, the body, and the feminine. Her third book, Liturgies for Resisting Empire: Seeking Community, Belonging, and Peace in a Dehumanizing World, examines the ideologies of empire that infiltrate daily life and offers a pathway toward liberation.

Shannan Martin is the bestselling author of several books, including Counterweights, Start with Hello, The Ministry of Ordinary-Places, and the popular Substack The Soup. She is a speaker and writer who found her voice in the country and her story in the city. Shannan works as a cook at The Window, a local non-profit dedicated to feeding its community. She and her family live as grateful neighbors in Goshen, Indiana.
