Meet
Jane

Jane Hanna Stoudt has built her life and ministry in the places most people overlook. The spaces shaped by trauma, PTSD, chronic overwhelm, neurodivergent wiring, and the long road of healing. She didn’t study those places from afar. She lived in them. As a woman navigating MS, CPTSD, and a nervous system shaped by decades of trauma, she learned early that many traditional approaches to Bible study unintentionally leave the wounded and overwhelmed feeling unseen. She longed for a way to meet God without pressure, shame, or sensory overload.

​

Out of that ache, she created The Margins Method, a Spirit led and simplified approach to Scripture that honors the nervous system. It’s a way of slowing down, breathing, listening for God’s character, and letting the Word shape the heart gently and honestly. Women who have spent years feeling spiritually “behind” finally find room to breathe, connect, and be formed by God’s voice.

​

Jane also serves the physical and emotional wellbeing of Christian women as a Christian Neurobiological Clinical Herbalist through Vagus and Vine Neurobiological Herbalism. Her work integrates the science of the nervous system with the wisdom of botanical medicine, helping women care for their bodies with the same compassion and intentionality they bring to their spiritual lives. She sees the mind, body, and spirit as deeply connected gifts from God, and she believes holistic care supports deeper discipleship.

​

Before founding this ministry, Jane spent decades fostering and adopting children with special needs and trauma histories. Those years shaped a family built on patience, perseverance, and an unwavering belief in the worth of every person. They also trained her to see trauma not as a disqualifier but as soil where the tenderness of God often takes root the deepest.

​

Through the Well Read Bible Project, Jane now equips the Church to support neurodivergent and trauma carrying women with wisdom, compassion, and theological clarity. Her heart beats for the ones who feel overwhelmed, unseen, or too exhausted to know where to begin. She helps them discover that God is not intimidated by their story. He meets them in it.

Because in the margins, grace is not missing.
Grace is magnified.
