Welcome to A Renewed Creation!
Take a deep breath, settle in, and know you’re among friends. This is a place for women who are tired of rules and performance-based faith and who are longing for something real, an authentic, messy, beautiful relationship with Jesus.

A Little About Me

I’m Desiree Taylor—wife, mom, author, speaker, and storyteller. I’ve been married to my husband, Duane, for twenty-nine years, and we have two grown sons, Kyle and David.

I’m the author of Created to Relate: Living Beyond Religion, published in August. My book shares my journey of breaking free from legalism and religion to live a life of an authentic relationship with Jesus. I love connecting with women by sharing my story, whether through speaking events, retreats, or podcasts on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.

My Heart for Women

My husband serves as an Elder at our church, and I love serving the women in our community, especially those in their 20s and 30s. Mentoring and discipleship are close to my heart because God created us for a relationship with Him and with one another.

I’ve spoken at the Women’s Retreats at Camp Berea in New Hampshire, and I’ve led events at Christian Hill Community Church, the church I call home. Every opportunity to share my story is an opportunity to help women find freedom and connection in Jesus.

A Personal Journey

I’m also deaf, with bilateral cochlear implants. I have progressive sensorineural hearing loss and received my first hearing aid at age nine. Choosing cochlear implant surgery has been life-changing, and it’s deepened my passion for connecting with and advocating for others with disabilities.

This Space for You

My hope for this online home is to build a community where you can ask questions, share your story, receive prayer, and feel loved and less alone. You belong here, just as you are.

With love,
Desiree
