Renée Gotcher is a freelance writer and editor, a wife of 30 years and “retired” homeschooling mother of three daughters, and an outdoor-loving Colorado transplant who’s called the scenic town of Castle Rock her home for the past 15 years. A recovering perfectionist and overachiever blindsided by debilitating physical anxiety twelve years ago, Renée now shares her journey to relieve anxiety, restore peace, and revive hope by stepping outside for soul-soothing walks with our Savior on her blog, The Pace of Grace. She invites readers to stop striving to overcome anxiety alone and walk with God at His pace on the path to healing. She recently contributed to Proverbs 31 Ministries’ “Encouragement for Today Devotions” series, and her latest published work appears in the book “Life Changing Stories: A Devotional Collection Revealing God’s Faithfulness and Transforming Power.”
