About
Samantha Stephenson writes at the crossroads of faith, family, and the future.
She is the voice behind the Slow Motherhood newsletter and host of the podcast Brave New Us: Being Human in the Age of Biotechnology. A convert to the Catholic faith, Samantha invites readers to slow down and savor the “good old days” while we’re still in them.
Through Slow Motherhood, she shares practical tips and prayerful reflections to help families cultivate intentional rhythms, grace-filled homes, and deeper presence in a culture that glorifies speed.
She is the author of:
Reclaiming Motherhood from a Culture Gone Mad, a theology of the body for mothers
The Bellbind Letters, a creative take on C.S. Lewis’s spiritual classic
Grow Where You’re Planted: Reclaiming Eden in Your Own Backyard, a prayerful guide to seasonal abundance and sustainable family life
With master’s degrees in theology and bioethics, Samantha explores both the spiritual and ethical questions shaping our rapidly changing world—whether in the hidden rhythms of home or at the frontiers of science.
Samantha homeschools her four children and tends a sprawling garden in Idaho’s Snake River Valley.
