Living with Intention
Dr. Katheryn Saunders lives near the Olympic National Forest with her husband Craig and their mouse-catching cat Poppy. She has two grown children who play a huge role in her passion to help families live with intention.
She is the creator and founder of RIPPLE – Spiritual resources to help families explore and live-out their values, and the author of Leaving the Land of Me; The Little Things do Matter, a series of stories about people whose lives were changed by simple acts of kindness.
Katheryn has a Doctor of Ministry in Leadership and Spiritual Formation, a master’s in teaching, and over twenty years of experience working with families, raising money for the poor, and leading Christian outreach ministries large and small. She’s currently engaging her passion for Jesus and social justice as the Regional Director of Philanthropy for World Vision US. In her spare time, she enjoys espresso and kayaks…preferably simultaneously.

“I knew that Ripple was worthwhile from the beginning, but we truly discovered how life-changing it was in the weeks that followed our first session as a family…..Our children are now actively engaged with us in deeper conversations about their faith, and what they helped create as our (now) family rule of life.” – Jacob Troyer
