About Erica Parkerson
Erica’s motto in life is “You are Loved!” She’s married to Will, a redhead who has always believed in her, and together they have two wonderful kids who are old enough to vote.
Erica is always looking for the positive spin on things, whales in the Sound, and a good scone. Erica grew up in New York, raised by a loving Italian family on meatballs and macaroni and good stories. She’s since lived in the Carolinas and Virginia, but the Pacific Northwest has truly become her home. It’s the most beautiful place she’s ever seen!
Erica first became aware of God when she was a child at St. Patrick’s, a little, white church with the most beautiful stained-glass windows. At the age of 16 Erica suddenly understood that God was more than a statue… He was real and it changed everything. Jesus is the best friend she’s ever had and every day she loves Him a little bit more.
You can hear her story featured on Brought Back to Life.

Gather your family together and spend a moment each day reading through the book of Luke.
The Gospel of Luke is central to the Christmas story because it gives us the most detailed account of Jesus’ birth. Luke emphasizes God’s love for all people, highlighting the humble circumstances of Christ’s arrival—born in a manger, announced first to shepherds. This reminds us that Christmas is about hope and salvation offered to everyone, regardless of status or background. Luke’s narrative calls us to celebrate not just the birth of a child, but the coming of the Savior who brings peace and joy to the world.
We hope you’ll enjoy and find true meaning this Christmas season.
