Karla Rogers is a Southern writer and blogger who tells the truth through story. She loves Jesus and writes with honesty shaped by both her faith and her failures. She knows God’s mercy because she has lived in it, and that perspective runs through everything she shares. Her path has included teaching, law enforcement, and service with the FBI and Secret Service, experiences that give her writing a grounded point of view. On her blog, Things I’ve Learned, Karla reflects on faith and everyday life, believing God meets us in both the joys and the struggles. She is the kind of friend who will tell you when the dress is ugly, and she writes the same way. Her words don’t try to dress life up but point to where God is at work in the middle of it. She spent a long time searching for satisfaction in other places, but has learned it comes from leaning into the woman God created her to be. These days, she finds it in her cats, the garden, a cup of tea, and time outside. They are the everyday rhythms that keep her rooted and becoming.
