Jen Pollock Michel | Par for the Course

Today we're with Jen Pollock Michel, an award-winning author of titles including Surprised by Paradox, Teach Us to Want, Keeping Place, and her latest release, A Habit Called Faith. An American living in Toronto, Jen is a wife and mother of five. She is the lead editor for Imprint magazine, published by The Grace Centre for the Arts, and host of the Englewood Review of Books podcast.

In her private and public life, Jen has been intentional to create space for herself and others to lean into unanswered questions and complex emotions. She says, "[it has] always been the stories of Scripture that have interested me most: of Abraham and his doubt; of Hannah and her grief; of David and his failure. To think of Jesus, the still point of God’s turning story is to recall the parables he told and the Passion he lived. Though many turn to the Bible for what to believe and how to behave, I’ve come to think that it offers us something even more expansive and beautiful and imaginative."
