After losing my son and surrendering everything we knew—selling our home along with almost everything we owned and leaving all that was familiar—I’m learning what it means to become a woman of valor. Dawn of Valor is my raw and unfolding journey of grief, faith, and surrender, and an invitation to witness the quiet, extraordinary work of God in a life fully laid down.

013: You Want Glory? Be Holy
In this episode, I share what God has been showing me about holiness and how my view of it is changing. More and more, holiness is not feeling dull, lifeless, or restrictive to me. It is starting to feel beautiful. To be holy is to be set apart for God. To belong to Him. To reflect His character more clearly in every area of life. And I’m realizing that holiness is not God calling us to become blank, colorless people. He is not making us less ourselves. He is making us into what we were alway...

012: 3/27 | Spiritual Warfare, Mercy, and the Not So Boring Call to Holiness
Two weeks after my last recording, I sat down on 3/27 to share this episode. That date holds deep meaning for me, and this episode became a marker of God’s mercy in the middle of intense spiritual warfare. I share about the frightening events our family walked through on 3/22, the mental and emotional crash that followed, and how the Lord used truth, prayer, and the renewing of my mind to help me fight differently this time. I also share what I’m learning right now about holiness: that to be ...

011: Our Baptisms, Justice Shares First Public Testimony | The Battlefield of The Mind
For the first time, I’m playing the audio from the day Justice and I were baptized at church. You’ll hear my testimony and baptism first, and then Justice shares his testimony in his own words. Justice has never really had a platform. This is the first time his story has been shared publicly. It felt like such a gift to be able to include it here. This episode also marks the beginning of something new. Two weeks ago I finally sat down with our neighbor and landlord, Linda Cross. When we moved...

010: Five Months in PA, Exodus or Exile?
It has been one month and twelve days into the new year. And five months since we left home. In this episode, I share what the Lord has been doing in this season of life in a furnished rental, unfamiliar rhythms, and spiritual reorientation. This has not been a season of arrival. It has been a season of placement. A season of radical amputation. A season of integration into the Body. A season of learning the difference between provision and permanence. We talk about: my lack of a ...

009: A Year Behind Us, A Year Before Us (and a Q&A)
Recorded on New Year’s Eve. 2025 behind. 2026 ahead. A quiet closing of one year and an unsteady step into another. Simply a look back at what God has done and an honest look forward into what we still do not know yet. I read last year’s New Year’s Eve journal entry and compare it to today. The ways God has faithfully met us in both joy and ache. It is strange and sacred to hear myself one year ago and realize how much has changed even when life still feels raw and unfinished. Then we move in...

008: The Weight of Glory and the Ache of Home | Recorded on My 33rd Birthday
Recorded on December 10th, my 33rd birthday, after nearly two months of silence. This episode is anything but polished. It is not triumphant. Its just honest. I share what these last months have truly felt like beneath the surface: the homesickness, the continual pruning that does not pause, and the slow, unseen work of becoming a woman of valor in ways that look nothing like the epic transformation I once imagined. In this episode, I talk about: • What it has been like to live without any se...

007: When Faith Feels Frail (but God Stays the Same)
In this short and unfiltered episode, I talk about being thankful that God never changes—even when I do. Lately, I’ve felt jaded and foggy. I finally submitted my book proposal, but my heart has felt weak. My faith feels small, and I miss the girl I used to be—confident, funny, fully alive—yet back then, I was spiritually dead. Now I’m alive, but some days I feel dead. Justice mentioned that he senses something shifting, like a storm is brewing in a good way. He doesn’t usually say things lik...

006: Wrestling with Fear and Weakness: Business, Friendship, and the Lord’s Work
Two weeks after my last recording, I sit down to share an update. It has been a mix of depression, anxiety about financial security, and wrestling with the unknown future. In this episode I talk about: The ways I have struggled with fear, sadness, and feeling fragile.How the church here has shown up for us, tangibly being the body of Christ.An update on the kids schooling option and why we decided to go with private educationThe unexpected gift of meeting new friends and being invited to dinn...

005: Arrival to Pennsylvania: Charlie Kirk’s Death, Illness and Injury, and Hinds’ Feet on High Places
Recorded 9/22. I walk through the last few weeks: closing on our house, the trip to Pennsylvania, and arriving while the world felt shaken. I share how I learned about Charlie Kirk’s assassination on the drive in, why I stepped back into silence, and how sickness and an emergency MRI left me physically crippled and emotionally raw. This episode is honest and quiet. I read from Hinds’ Feet on High Places and reflect on what it means to ask for valor and then be placed on a hill that makes grow...

004: Surrendering When It Costs Everything — The Day After Selling Everything We Own (5 Days Before the Move)
Yesterday, we sold basically everything we own. The long-prepared “surrender sale” finally happened, and today I am sitting here exhausted, tender, and raw—recording this episode in real time. I share stories from the sale, including Reverie’s crib, a woman who bought Valor's rocker and the piano for $1000 out of pure generosity. I open up about the grief and lament that follows this kind of surrender. In the middle of it all, I return to a piece of writing I penned weeks ago: a Bible study o...

003: Weary but Running: Leadville Lessons, Adoption Day, A Messy Unscripted Update (Twelve Days to the Move, Five to the Sale)
In this week’s shorter and messy vulnerable episode I wanted to delete, I share what my husband’s recent trip to film the Leadville 100 in Colorado stirred in me about the Christian life. This week held so much weight for our family. Emma turned sixteen—the same age I was when I had her—and on the very day I recorded this, Justice officially adopted her. A moment of redemption and joy right in the middle of a season where we’ve felt tired, stretched thin, and in the midst of spiritual w...

002: I Met Our Home’s New Owner… and Other God-Stories (Three Weeks Out From the Move)
In this week’s real-time “audio vlog,” I share the big and small moments marking our final weeks in Texas before uprooting our family and moving to Pennsylvania. It’s not pre-planned or polished — I jotted a few bullet points, but otherwise, consider it a coffee date with me… only I’m the one doing all the talking. In this episode, you’ll hear: How I got to meet the new owner of our home in person — and why it felt like such a personal kindness from the Lord.A wild, God-orchestrated story con...

001: Childloss, Pruning, & Surrender: The Backstory and The Precipice
This is the episode that makes sense of everything to come. We just sold our home in Texas. We’re about to sell everything we own and move to Pennsylvania without a clue what we’re doing. But this? This is the story behind the story. Inside this foundational episode, I share: — The loss of our son, Valor — The journey through grief, pruning, and surrender — The real-time steps of walking with God into unknown places — The moments that have begun shaping me into a woman...
