Kristin Young embraces many roles as a Bible teacher, writer and fine arts photographer, but her favorite by far is wife and mother. She and her husband, Bryant, who played fourteen years with the San Francisco 49ers and is a Pro Football Hall of Famer, have six children. Their oldest son, Colby, is tucked away in Heaven after a two-year fight with brain cancer. Kristin feels a firm calling to encourage others to look for His hope and beauty while in the valley. Having a heart for biblical reconciliation and learning from the unique encounters with God of every ethnos, she is passionate about helping Christians understand God and live well in gray spaces. Kristin wholeheartedly believes in creating round theological tables and building diverse bookshelves with humility.

Kristin holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Notre Dame, Masters in Social Welfare (Management and Planning) from the University of California, Berkeley and is currently pursuing a Masters in Divinity from Fuller Seminary. Kristin blends her love for biblical justice, writing and visual arts in her journalistic and documentary approach to photography. Fully embracing the motto “shoot what you love and do it often,” Kristin is a staunch advocate for personal projects as creative outlets. Additionally, she serves as Vice Chair on the national Board of Directors for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. Raised in Germany as a proud Army brat, Kristin currently resides in Charlotte, NC.
