Julia Friedman is originally from South Florida where she learned that warm ocean water is about the best thing on earth. She graduated from Palm Beach Atlantic University with an undergraduate degree in biochemistry. Coming to a full understanding of Christianity after college, she decided to go to Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS where she received a Master’s Degree in Biblical Studies. She worked in youth ministry for ten years before deciding to return to medicine and getting a doctorate in pharmacy. Currently she is bi-vocational, working on pharmacy staff at a university hospital and teaching at women’s events and Bible studies as she attempts to make Christ known in all corners of her life. She lives with her husband Kevin, and sons Bear and Russell, in Chattanooga, Tenn.
