About

Welcome to Flowing Faith! I’m so glad you stopped by! My name is Mari-Anna Frangén Stålnacke and I am a writer/speaker/teacher. I hold a Doctor of Theology degree in Religious Education from the University of Helsinki. I have taught at the university level in both the United States (Concordia College, Moorhead, MN) and Finland (the University of Helsinki and the University of Jyväskylä). Now I live in Finland with my husband and our two small children.

I write on things related to Christian spirituality, Christian living, spiritual formation, growing in faith or what it is to be a follower of Christ in today’s world. I aim to encourage my fellow pilgrims on their journey of faith. If you are or want to be a follower of Christ this blog is for you.

FLOWING FAITH is a blog for talking of God so that everyone might know the love of God, receive the grace of Christ, and live in the presence of the Holy Spirit.

“I said to the almond tree: ‘Speak to me of God’ and the almond tree blossomed.” (Nikos Kazantzakis,“The Fratricides”,1964) My calling is to blossom and bear fruit by talking of God so that everyone might know the love of God, receive the grace of Christ and live in the presence of the Holy Spirit.

I typically post Monday through Friday.

Abundant blessings to you! I would love to hear from you!
