Meet Jen
Jennifer Knight grew up in Orange, Texas, a small town bordering Louisiana. She is the oldest of three daughters, born to the owners of the local camera store and dance studio. At age 20, she met a Welsh pastor named Sam Knight. Sam had come to town to write his dissertation and had planned to return to the UK at summer’s end.
Jen and Sam got engaged after only four dates. Five months later, they tied the knot. This threw Jen, a relatively new Christian, into the whirlwind of being a pastor’s wife.
Now, over two decades later, they have served together at four churches, lived in three states, and had three amazing children, plus too many pets to count. Jen found a love for writing many years ago and felt a call to use her gift for God.
Her experiences with God inspired her book and the adjoining blog, JenniferThayerKnight.com. In 2017, Jen began her battle with Lyme disease. This illness continues to inspire creativity in her writing, new ways to serve God, and new ways to disciple people. The goal of Jen’s writing is to share her experiences, hoping to draw others into a deeper, experiential relationship with Christ.
