Our Story & Vision

Meet the Founder, Chellbee Johnson

Hello, bestie! I’m Chellbee Johnson—a daughter of Christ, wife, mom of three, full-time HR professional, and the founder of Dear Bold Believer.

If you are a busy Christian woman juggling an endless to-do list while desperately trying to carve out quiet time for Christ, I get it. I’ve lived it. Through our writing, intentional stationery tools, and community, my heart is to serve everyday women by helping you anchor your life on the solid foundation of Jesus Christ.

From Corporate Burnout to Grace

My journey wasn’t always rooted in faith. Growing up in Compton under a single mother, I often felt invisible and craved to be seen and heard. That longing for validation propelled me into a relentless pursuit of worldly success, and corporate America quickly became my battleground.

When my plans didn't pan out and I failed to achieve my goals in 2016, my world crumbled. Devastated and lost, I found solace in the most unexpected place: my faith. Turning to Christ, I discovered a love that completely transcended everything I had chased in the world. That newfound purpose ignited a passion to empower other women to experience the unwavering love, hope, and strength found in God's Word.

How Dear Bold Believer Began

You might recognize me from sharing my faith journey here and on our YouTube channel, but the story behind our beloved stationery began with a seed of fear and a heart for prayer.

In July 2020, amidst a season of uncertainty and learning I was expecting a son, fear tried to take hold. How could I keep God's promises close when a Bible wasn't always accessible? Inspiration struck: everyday companions like journals, planners, and notecards could hold the power of Scripture.

This was never a solitary journey. Back in 2019, when a close friend battled anxiety and dark thoughts, scripture and personal prayers became my weapons for her. When she suggested, "You should sell these!" the Holy Spirit revealed a grander vision. What started as a blog transformed into a space empowering women with God's promises using the English Standard Version (ESV) for our stationery and the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) for our books and devotionals.

Our Mission & How We Walk Together

Everything we create is designed to provide practical tools for your walk with Him:

  • Stationery & Everyday Reminders: Rooted in the English Standard Version (ESV), our collection features verse cards, waterproof stickers, bookmarks, greeting cards, notepads, and intentional Christian gifts that keep God's Word front and center.

  • Study & Plan with Purpose: Through our faith journals and Christian planners, we help you unpack Scripture deeply and integrate God’s Word into your daily routine. (Note: Stay tuned for our exciting refillable binder ecosystem launching in Q1!)

  • Grow in Community: Through our monthly Mail Club and online gatherings, we provide a sisterhood of believers growing together in faith.

  • Partnering in Retail & Wholesale: We walk alongside small business owners—from cozy coffee shops and florists wanting to share a dose of faith, to Christian bookstores looking for a gentle, feminine touch of stationery and books.

Wherever you are on your journey, my prayer is that my vulnerability, my poetry, and these tangible tools will guide you toward a deeper connection with Him. We aren't meant to walk this path alone—let's cultivate confidence in Christ together!

Be Bold, Be Blessed,

Chellbee Johnson
