We’re the Kalinas.
We currently live in Colorado and work full time in Catholic ministry.
We’ve been married for two years, and we’re doing our best to chase sainthood! We love Jesus, and we love the Church that He gave us. It’s our home. We’ll do whatever we can to bring others to the truth, goodness, and beauty that it offers!
We’re also both artists and adventurers. Whether it’s writing, acting, doodling, surfing, snowboarding, or camping, we’re in for it.
Lend Me Your Heart was born from Alli’s time in youth ministry. While designing sweatshirts for her youth group, a desire sparked to share the Gospel through greater creativity and newer methods.
Tanner had been grappling with the same desire through various video series and web platforms, so eventually they decided, “Hey, we’re married. We could be a team, right? Isn’t that kind of what marriage is?”
So, thus, therefore, hence, Lend Me Your Heart became a thing. It’s still becoming a thing — whatever the Lord wills.
