Hi there!

My name is Kearsen Avendano. I am a Christian poet, author, and artist who believes that healing is believing. I write about mental health, hope, strength, faith, and more.

From a young age, I experienced one abusive family after the next, leaving me with a painful childhood and a broken heart. Unable to trust or love, I became lost in my pain and trauma until I truly found God. In growing closer to Him, I was able to overcome that cycle of agony that the pain left behind to find healing and peace.

After experiencing my own struggles, healing, and personal growth with God, I made the decision to write books that can bring comfort and support to people going through life's struggles. I write to create a place where you feel safe, seen, loved, and heard. But most of all, a place where you feel embraced by the Lord.

My debut collection, Surviving, was released in August 2023. This Christian poetry collection focuses on helping you when you're in need of His strength. It's a source of hope and a reminder that you are known by Him.

My second Christian poetry collection, Finding You, was released on December 31, 2023. I wrote this for when you need His peace and healing. It's a resource to help you prepare to embrace your own journey of healing with Him.

When I'm not writing, I am fishing + spending time with my family, working on my to-be-read list + other creative projects, or talking with someone about faith.

I pen a monthly newsletter about books, personal lessons of faith, deals, and everything else. You can learn more at Kearsenavendano.com or by heading to @kearsenavendano on Instagram and Kearsen Avendano Poetry on Facebook.
