About | Timarie Friesen

Hi, I'm Timarie Friesen. I write short stories for my blog, and lately these stories tend to be about the global church and the local church.

If you'd like to receive future stories in your inbox, click here to sign up with your email.

I lead an online community of writers for Gospel-Centered Discipleship (GCD) and I serve as an editor for a team of missionaries with ReachGlobal.

My writing can be found at GCD, Fathom, EFCA Blog, and The Gospel Coalition (TGC).

Here's a book in which I contributed a chapter. Broken But Beautiful: Reflections on the Blessings of the Local Church (GCD, 2025).

Read my book review the authors of From the Rising of the Sun shared with their readers.

My husband, Mark, and I serve at our local church in Iowa and participate in cross-cultural missions.

Find more of my writing occasionally on Instagram and X.
