Karen Stubbs is the founder and heart behind Birds on a Wire. As a speaker, author, and creator of the Wire Talk podcast, she shares practical, biblical wisdom that feels more like coffee with a friend than a sermon.

Karen’s heart for moms began during her years as a Navy wife—raising four kids while Greg was off flying fighter jets. During that season, her faith in God deepened and her passion to support other moms grew. She learned that even though parenting is hard, God is faithful—and she could depend on Him every step of the way. Karen and her husband, Greg, have been married 39 years and are proud parents to four grown kids—Kelsey, Emily, Taylor, and Abby—and grandparents to nine! Karen loves her

cockapoo Barkley, early lunches, and traveling just about anywhere with friends or family.
