From gardening to thrifting to the ritual of brewing the perfect cup of tea, a truly meaningful life is one intentionally cultivated. The apostle Paul said it best with the admonishment to meditate on “whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely…”Philippines 4:8. Through intimate story-telling and deep conversation, sharing of beloved recipes and favorite homemade brews, home decor inspiration and thrift adventures, lessons from the garden, chicken coop and more, these pages will teach and inspire you to cultivate your own Eden right where you are, hand in hand with the God of all creation.
Terrica Joy is a writer, mentor, and advocate for walking deeply with God.
At the tender age of 5 she began writing lyrics and poetry, a kind of love affair she’s never escaped. Her way with words had her first published at 8, and continues to put her on platforms and stages around the world.
Founded in 2019, Eden & Vine is a beautiful culmination of Terrica’s love for the written word, stunning photography, and heart to elevate and admonish women. She believes every woman carries a powerful story meant to champion another.
After a dramatic move from the hustle of the big city to peace and stillness on a hillside in Tennessee, the story of Eden & Vine took root. It was in gathering eggs, growing rows of flowers and boxes of herbs, baking loaves of fresh zucchini bread and foraging for wild berries, when the story began to grow. It was gathering for brunch and worship, prayer around the fire in the meadow, conversations on the porch swing laced with the very presence of God, where the story began to bloom.
Wife to a remarkable man and momma to Everyn Saige and Gabriel Wilde. Aside from her three great loves, her greatest joy is seeing people press into the depths of God’s goodness and come alive to true purpose. When she isn’t hosting brunch or chatting over tea, she loves to garden, travel, soak up life on the farm, and scour all the local estate sales and flea markets.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe the Holy Bible is the inspired, infallible word of God.
We believe in one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His Virgin Birth, sinless life, and miracles. We believe He was crucified for our sins, and became the full atonement for the redemption of mankind.
We believe Christ was buried and rose again in accordance with Scripture.
We believe Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father and will come again in His glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit. We believe signs and wonders are for today. We believe in the Ancient Church as conceived in the book of Acts, and we hold true to the Apostolic Teachings of the New Testament.
