Scandalous: Things Good Christian Girls Don't Talk About but Probably Should
Emily Dixon is an artist, writer, and teacher whose unique style is the direct result of her ability to combine the abstracts of faith with the demands of the real world. Born into a heritage of faith, Emily's childhood revolved around the church where she learned the disciplines of a Christian life. However when faced with a devastating marriage and divorce at the age of 23 she recognized the need to move deeper into her understanding of God's love and purpose for her life. Returning to school, she added a degree in Psychology to her previous degree in Fine Arts. Later she continued her education and earned a Master's Degree in Biblical Literature. She supported her two daughters through this time by working in sales, teaching art, bartending, and as an adjunct instructor in the Bacone's College Christian Ministry Department. Each of these experiences deepened her conviction that there is a desperate need for the truth of God's love, mercy, and redeeming power to be shared with the world in a bold new way.  In June of 2010, Emily married Ty Dixon who encouraged her to quit her day job and purse her passion of sharing her love of God and His word. Thanks to his support, Emily's dream of becoming a full time writer and speaker have become a reality. Together with her two daughters, they live on the same farm where Emily was raised.  Along with her brother, Nathan Underwood, she is co-founder of Pagus, a ministry dedicated to exploring the role of the arts and education in experiencing the Christian faith.
