Sharon is an experienced writer with her own blog and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's religion blog. A wife and mother to 5 kids, she in on staff with her church and enjoys running, coffee, and good books. A bit of an activist around certain topics (politics, religion, sexuality, gender), Sharon looks to cinema for the empathy and fun it can provide. “I believe art is a gift from a good Creator. Sometimes Christians are suspicious of film, but I find that thoughtful engagement with movies has been a means of personal and spiritual growth for me. I hope my involvement with Zeke helps others to have a similar experience with film!”
