I am very impressed with the content of Ungrind. It is a place young women can go for encouragement, inspiration, and practical ways to navigate a life of faith. In a world that is telling women to find fulfillment through a million “things,” Ungrind reminds us that we fill our cups through the Word of God and the commonality we share as women who pursue Him.

Lately I’ve been recommending Ungrind to the younger women of our church. It’s informative, reflective, biblically sound, and targeted specifically to women in their 20′s and 30′s. In the plethora of women’s webzines with “tips on surviving menopause,” “empty nest syndrome,” and “how to become a boomer babe,” Ungrind is refreshing in its approach to reach a younger audience.

— author of The Man You Always Wanted Is the One You Already Have


Rachel Starr Thomson

Ungrind speaks to women who yearn to look beyond the surface and get to the heart of life; whose purposes and loves are eternal. Their articles are practical, spiritual, and encouraging. In a world of shiny treasures that will corrode before we can blink, Ungrind helps us focus on the things that matter—remembering that we are, first and foremost, women of God.

I am all about sites who encourage women. There’s too much going on in the daily grind that it’s nice when someone recognizes. No matter if you’re a single or married woman, in your 20′s or 40′s, Ungrind will encourage you where you’re at.

I’m in love with the conversations happening at Ungrind. The editors and writers have taken such care to develop a welcoming and authentic place on the internet for 20s and 30 somethings. When I click through the articles, a sense of connection overcomes me as I feel like the author is speaking straight to my needs as a 30something and this makes me want to come back and interact more often. Thank you, Ungrind, for dedicating your time to encourage and lift up this generation.

Ungrind is for any woman who has ever felt alone. Alone in her stand for truth. Alone in her insecurities. Alone in living out her potential. It is about community and finding worth first in God and second in the specific purposes He has for women. Reading Ungrind is like sitting down to a cup of coffee with your girlfriends and discovering you’re not the only one.
