Meet Your Comrade
Because life is both a party and a war.
Let’s do both together.
Hey You!
It’s Liv, and I am truly honored that you are here. It is in every way a testament of God answering prayer and working through mustard seed size faith.
I’m just a normal girl. But in late high school, I began noticing some odd thing happening in my health. By the time I was in college, things were completely out of hand.
I was catapulted into an unexpected, lonely journey of chronic pain and mysterious health challenges.
Throughout this time, my faith in Jesus became an anchor like it never had been before. But first I had to make sure everything I believed could really still be trusted in the face of suffering—it was almost as if I had to turn my faith inside out, examine it, make sure it still fit, and try it back on for size. I had to learn to look at my circumstances through the lens of scripture…NOT the other way around. I reached new levels of desperation, yet Christ continued to draw nearer.
Smack-dab in the middle of my story, God laid it on my heart to write a series of letters to encourage other believers walking a similar road.
I put the letters in a book… and in a story only God could write, Hold Hope will be published October 11, 2024.
I cannot wait for it to be in your hands so we can hold hope together!
But I don’t just wanna be the poster child for chronic pain. So just for funsies…

My People.
Let’s be honest. If we’re gonna be friends, you’ve at least gotta meet my home team. These are my favorite humans on the whole stinking planet.
how it started…
We’ve coined the term “Fellership” for all the moments spent together with the Feller fam. We’re dedicated to our annual summer vacay, we play a mean game of Amish ping-pong, and we love to laugh. But most importantly, the older I get, the more thankful I am for the godly hertiage and relational foundation my parents have set for our family.
how it’s going…
And here’s that curly-haired fiancé referenced in the back of my book. We laugh that Hold Hope comes out just months before my name changes, but truly I couldn’t be more thrilled to become Olivia Gerber and begin my life adventure with Jack this winter. Our story is a special one and he’s definitely a gift from God…and the goofball I wanna keep for good.
Let’s Do This.
