Dani Kinchen — walking this tired road with you

Hello! My name is Dani Kinchen. I’m a wife, mother of three, practicing attorney, and family ministry leader. Above all, I’m an adopted child of God.

 

I grew up in Louisiana, but Texas is home now. I graduated from the LSU Law Center and Tulane University, and my husband and I are members of Kingsland Baptist Church. Our children are little right now, and they keep us happy and tired.

 

I started the Tired Parents Ministry because I know firsthand what it means to be exhausted — and I know that God’s Word has something real to say about that exhaustion. When I am tired, which is often, I take to the Bible for refreshment. TPM exists to bring that word to you.
