About Looking Upward + Olivia

When Satan tempts me to despair,
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look, and see Him there
Who made an end of all my sin.

—”Before the Throne of God Above,” Charitie Lees Bancroft

It’s my hope and prayer that Looking Upward helps you do exactly that: Look upward to Jesus, who loves you and me more than we could ever imagine.

My name is Olivia Davis. I write to help people discover the love and majesty of Jesus Christ.

You can subscribe to get an email when I publish new pieces on Looking Upward using this link.

I’m grateful for the opportunities I have had to share my writing with many people! My pieces have been featured by The Gospel Coalition, Challies.com, Just Thinking magazine, and more. I’ve appeared on Moody Radio Florida and the Disciple Heritage Fellowship Podcast.

If you’re interested in collaborating with me, thank you! I am a writing coach and do occasional freelancing for organizations and individuals. Here’s my portfolio, which has more information about my background and clientele. You can reach out to me at [email protected]—I will get back to you personally.

When I’m not writing or reading, I’m probably playing the piano or spending time with my family and my deeply beloved church in Atlanta, Georgia.

If my sermons kept people from reading the Bible for themselves, I would like to see the whole stock in a blaze and burned to ashes! But if they serve as fingerposts, pointing to the Scriptures and saying, “Read this, and this, and this,” then I am thankful to have printed them.
