About

Welcome!

If we haven’t met, I’m Katie Axelson.

I’m an author, speaker, and pastor. I host Have Hope; Will Travel podcast (new episodes every other Monday).

I love to travel! (No two of these photos were taken in the same town.)

I spent a year living in Latin America as a nomad (and wrote a book about it called Jesus Shoes).

Here’s the thing: when we travel, the world becomes a smaller place because we get to know people who are different than we are.

It’s my passion to give others space to share their stories so we can better understand their perspective.

Together we can make the world a better place.

These days I call Minneapolis, Minnesota, home. Yes, the winters are rough but the summers are gorgeous!

Reach out and say hi!

I’m always looking for excuses to travel so I’d love to come speak at your retreat, church, or on your podcast. Find out more on the Speaking page.
