About Patrick and Ruth Schwenk

Hello! We are Patrick and Ruth Schwenk, the creators of The Better Mom (www.thebettermom.com) and The Dig for Kids (www.thedigforkids.com). We met while attending the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL. We have been married for sixteen years and currently have four children ages six to thirteen. We love serving in ministry, spending time together as a family, reading, drinking lots of coffee, and resting in God’s grace.
