Kathryn “Kat” Stevens is a Christian mother, survivor of an abusive marriage, and a former prodigal who knows what it feels like to run hard in the wrong direction—and be lovingly, relentlessly pursued back home by God. After years of emotional and psychological abuse, a painful divorce, and a custody battle that shook her identity, Kat hit a wall of depression and low self-worth before the Holy Spirit chased her down and reignited her faith.

Now living on the coast of North Carolina with her blended family and two doggie daughters, Luna and Willow, Kat writes for the prodigal sons and daughters who feel too broken, too angry, or too far gone to sit comfortably in “pretty” Christian spaces. Through The Prodigal Path, she creates devotionals that tell the truth about pain, point fiercely to Jesus, and remind every child of God that He is gentle with repentant hearts and fierce against the darkness that tried to destroy them.
