About the author
About the author
From her earliest memories, Ashley Brooks has clung to her faith every step of the way. From illness to family conflict and even a complete career change. Ashley has navigated each twist and turn life offers with a kingdom mindset. Her goal is to live out what she calls her "God-sized dream" of ministry and regenerative farming at her ranch in Kentucky. She loves to learn and has come to find that failure is not always the end but most often, the beginning. When she's not hanging out with her family or chasing chickens and goats, she can be found leading her church's youth group and participating in women's bible studies. Her favorite pastimes are listening to podcasts while she rides her tractor and sipping a cup of coffee while the birds chirp.
