Frequently Asked Questions

What does Loop stand for?

Loop suggests an intimacy with God, an invitation to be pulled in close, joined and connected—living in union with Him. Loop pursues ongoing conversation in prayer with God, the foundation of deepening relationship and healing.

Who is the author?

I'm Jennifer Camp. I know all about being busy and overwhelmed. I know all about messing up, hurting people close to me due to pride and selfishness. I know all about being resistant to surrender, fearful about what is coming. I know all about being wounded and filled with shame. I know all about regret and wishing I could do things differently if given the chance. And today, I get that chance—experiencing God, seeking His strength, claiming freedom in choosing to focus on Him, each day, one choice at a time.

I grew up in an almond orchard in the California Sacramento Valley and taught high school English a handful of years before becoming a mom and then leading women's ministry. In addition to Loop, I'm the author of Breathing Eden: On Light, Fresh Air, and New Things and co-founder of Gather Ministries with my husband, Justin.

Gather is a non-profit ministry for busy women and men whose lives are filled but not full. Our mission is simple: to teach, equip, and encourage women and men to come alive to identity, community, and adventure with God.

We live in the Bay Area of Northern California with our three kids and our very insecure dog—a family that the Father uses to stretch me beyond myself, my selfishness, my self-centeredness and pride. I believe Loop can deepen our relationship with God, prompting conversations to help us live a life of freedom and whole-heartedness, the life God has had for us all along. Will you join me?

What is my Statement of Faith?

I believe God exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that He is a being of unimaginably wonderful power, goodness, and love. (Psalm 118:1; Psalm 145:1-9; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14) 

I believe the world exists because God created it, that it belongs to Him and therefore we should cherish and care for it. (Genesis 1:1; Psalm 24:1-2; Isaiah 40:25-26; 1 Corinthians 10:26)

I believe all human beings have dignity because they were created by God in His own image, and great worth because they are valued by God beyond our ability to measure. (Genesis 1:27, 31; Psalm 8:3-6; John 3:16; Romans 5:8)

I believe this world also has pain and suffering because human beings have fallen and sinned, and are estranged from God, from each other, from ourselves, and from creation. (Genesis 3:17; Romans 3:23; Colossians 1:21; Titus 3:3)

I believe God does not intend for sin and suffering to get the last word, but is at work to redeem and reconcile what He has made. (Isaiah 11:6-9; Colossians 1:21-23; Revelation 21:1-5)

I believe God has revealed the truth about Himself in the scriptures of the Old and New Testament, which are our unique and authoritative guides in faith and action. (Matthew 4:4; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:16-17)

I believe God has expressed Himself uniquely in His Son Jesus, who lived, taught, died, and rose again for our sakes. Jesus is our master and teacher and savior and friend, and now reigns forever with the Father and the Holy Spirit. (John 14:6-7; Acts 2:32; 1 Corinthians. 15:3-4; Ephesians 2:13; Colossians 1:15-20; Philippians 2:5-11; 1 Timothy 2:5-6)

I believe the Spirit of God is now available so we can be closer to God than the air we breathe. (John 14:26; Acts 1:8; Romans 8:26; Galatians 3:14;Ephesians 1:13-14)

I believe the Church is the community through which God wants to bring love, healing, and growth to the human race, to which He invites everyone who is willing to follow Jesus to join. (Matthew 18:18-20; John 1:12-13; Acts 1:8; Galatians 3:28; 1 Peter 2:9)

I live in hope because one day Jesus will return, love and justice will prevail, and God will set the world right. (Matthew 24:30-31; Luke 12:40; Romans8:37-39; Revelation 21:1-5)
