In the midst of one of the most painful seasons of my life, I am learning what it truly means to suffer well. This breakout is not about having answers, but about walking together through the tension of hardship and hope. Scripture shows us that the Gospel often moves in deeper, more transformative ways through suffering than through comfort. Together, we will explore how God meets us in our brokenness, how suffering can shape our faith, and why our response to hardship matters—not just for our own growth, but for those watching us now and in the future.

This is not about rushing your process or offering easy answers, but about creating room for truth, safety, and restoration at your own pace. You will be invited to reflect, learn grounding truths, and consider next steps that honor both your faith and your healing journey.

Have you ever said “It’s going to get so much better after this week, month or even year is over?” You find yourself in the chaos of life—busy, tired, pulled a million different directions and realize you crave the REST that Matthew 11:28 talks about.

Have you ever felt like your life was suddenly thrown into chaos—like everything steady was disrupted without warning? Trauma doesn’t arrive with preparation or permission; it comes uninvited and can leave us disoriented, searching for something solid to hold onto. In this session, we’ll explore how faith can become an anchor in the midst of life’s most painful and unexpected moments—how God meets us not after the storm, but within it, offering the restoration and redemption our hearts long for. Please note: this session will include discussion of sensitive and potentially triggering topics, including my personal journey of faith through trauma involving sexual assault as a minor, abuse, suicide, health crisis, and complex relationships. My hope is to approach these experiences with honesty and care, creating space for reflection, healing, and the steady reminder that even here, we are not alone.

The Bible calls us to offer our bodies as living sacrifices for this is our true and proper worship. We are called to worship through genuine surrender. It is through that process of walking in harmony with Gods divine will for our lives that Heavenly Peace, a peace that transcends our understanding, will follow us wherever and whenever we are in our lives. Through all ups and downs, trials and tribulations His peace gained through complete surrender - will guard our hearts and minds. Romans 12:1 "Give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable."

We will leave the shallow waters and take a dive into the deep end because God wants us to grow deeper in our relationship with Him.
