Jen Hatmaker Asks for Prayers as Family Navigates ‘Unexpected Crisis’: We Are Deeply Hurting

August 3, 2020 by Staff

(The Christian Post) High-profile Christian author Jen Hatmaker posted a cryptic message on Facebook Friday where she revealed that her family is working through an “unexpected crisis” and asked for prayers.

The writer, who made headlines in 2016 for affirming same-sex marriage, revealed that something happened, but she wouldn’t provide any details except to say that she and her family are going to be OK.
