Shelby Spear
A self-described “sappy soul whisperer and sarcasm aficionado,” Shelby Spear is a wife of 27 years and a mom of three 20-something kiddos who has a deep love for Jesus and storytelling. Most days she muses in rhetorical wonder over what God was thinking when He put her in charge of three humans. Although God’s quick to remind her how capable she is, apparently He sometimes does so while crossing His fingers behind His back.

Now that she and her husband, John, are in a season of empty nest, Shelby spends her days writing about all the ways motherhood has shaped, transformed, inspired, and aged her. You’ll find her stories in the national publication, Guideposts, and all over the web at places like Her View From Home, For Every Mom, Today, Love What Matters, and others. She is also the loving and goofball hostess of a growing family of friends on her blog at shelbyspear.com and across social media outlets.

While John and her children graffiti her soul, all things chocolate melt her heart. Music stirs her like no other, crying fulfills her, and a love of sports keeps her competitive streak alive. Some of her favorite things in life are books, yoga, This Is Us, and a comfy pair of jeans—most notably the stretchy kind. Denim defines her in a bluesy kind of way.
