Nicole Newton is a pastor–poet and practical theologian working at the edges of worship, neurodivergence, and belonging. She writes from embodied life, exploring how difference opens new languages for community, faith, and knowing otherwise. Her writing and her work are rooted in the conviction that showing up as our whole, messy, beloved selves is itself an act of faith. She is the mom of two wild and wonderful daughters, Alecia (21) and Lena Scout (12), and wife to Jonathan. In her free time, she enjoys growing flowers, riding horses, raising quail, and having silly dance parties in the kitchen.
