"If I want a changed home, it starts with my own heart."
Autumn Montgomery is a Christian writer, teacher, and mom of four who writes at the intersection of faith, motherhood, and prayer. Her work is rooted in one convicting truth she learned the hard way: real transformation in our families starts not with our children, but with ourselves.
For years, Autumn poured her prayers into asking God to change her kids — their attitudes, their choices, their hearts. Then God turned that prayer around. What followed was a deeply personal season of surrender, study, and growth that reshaped how she understood her role as a mom, a wife, and a follower of Jesus.
That journey became the foundation for her debut book, I Stopped Praying for My Kids... and Started Praying for Myself — a candid, Scripture-grounded guide for Christian moms who are tired of white-knuckling parenthood and ready to let God start with them.
The Writing
Every week Autumn shares what God is teaching her — through motherhood, through Scripture, and through the slow, imperfect work of becoming more like Jesus. Her writing is honest about the hard days and anchored in the belief that ordinary moments of faith matter deeply.
Her Faith Tip Friday series has become a weekly encouragement for thousands of moms who follow along on Instagram and the blog. Each post is a small invitation to pause, pray, and trust God in the everyday.
The Book
What if the key to raising thriving kids isn't praying harder for them — but transforming yourself first?
I Stopped Praying for My Kids... and Started Praying for Myself is Autumn's debut book, written to encourage and equip Christian moms to deepen their own faith while raising the next generation for God's glory.
