Welcome! My name is Brittany and this website provides biblical encouragement for the world-weary believer. As someone who didn't become a Christian until my late teens, I know what it's like to fumble through the faith journey. I've had a huge learning curve over the years and made mistakes along the way. It's because of my own experiences I am passionate about helping those who are tired, discouraged, and unsure in their faith journey. Because I've been there I can relate and want to share with you resources that aren't merely Christian fluff, but are resources that provide practical insight and help as you find your way on this incredible journey with our beautiful God. I hope you'll stay a while and check out the resources on this page!

“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” Psalms‬ ‭34:18‬ ‭ESV‬‬ ❤️

I’m not much of a beach person. But if I’m honest, I’d love to sit with my toes in the sand right about now. To stare at the horizon and hear the waves crash upon the shore. To sit in the warmth of the sun and be ministered to by the Holy Spirit.

I haven’t hid that I’m going through a really difficult time. The hardest, in fact. When I can’t imagine I can go much longer, another difficulty gets added to the pile of crushing weight.

Sometimes our life simply needs to shipwreck. And I’ve come to a peace about that—that now is my great shipwreck. But it’s not for us to drown in the storm. That’s not the purpose of the storm. It’s for our false securities to be laid to waste so that what’s eternal and valuable remains.

If your ship—the comfortable life you have built—is going down, take heart. This could indeed be one of the best things to ever happen to you. Let what’s unsustainable and crippling fall to the sea floor, and find some enduring plank to hold onto that can carry you to shore. Those few truly good and valuable things and people who can keep you floating in the sea. The treasures in life that inspire joy and purpose. They are those gifts from God that will breath life into your aching soul while holding on to survive.

Will there be monsters to face? Likely. Comfort to let go of? Certainly. But a stronger self? Yes. And a more intimate relationship with Christ? You bet.

I want to encourage my fellow cast aways: A storm is a beautiful conduit for growth and intimacy. He is an anchor for your soul regardless of how wild the storm rages around you. And know that the storm will pass, you will reach the shore, and what’s most important will remain.

“Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6:18-19‬ ‭NLT‬‬

My new book Here I Am is releasing in June 🎉 and now is the perfect time to catch up on two other resources I’ve written.

Untouchable: Unraveling the Myth That You’re Too Faithful to Fall is my story of redemption and what I learned in the aftermath: that believing any sin is untouchable is a dangerous place to live. And that most believers do, and so I shatter the untouchable myth and give people three ways to be victorious in the face of temptation. You can get it everywhere books are sold!

Trust Fall: Finding Confidence in God’s Process is a Bible study to help you walk through your difficult seasons with greater faith in God. You can purchase it on Amazon.

Pray God speaks tenderly to your heart through these resources! And keep following for more info about the release of Here I Am in the near future!

Yesterday I was reading in Genesis 12 and I was struck by a conversation between God and Abram (Abraham). God tells Abram to leave his family and go to a land He will show him. Essentially, He is calling Abram to leave what he knew—to leave the comfortable.

He also uses the phrase “I will” 5 times in the short passage. This is so important—the usage of this phrase. God wants the called to know that “He will.” To know that God will show you the path. Take care of you. Provide for you. I want you to be reminded of that today.

No matter where and what you are called to, God is with you in the calling. He is with you in the trenches. You are never alone and you certainly don’t have to walk out your calling on your own. HE WILL is a promise for you.

Through the valleys, in the shadows, and during the storms. When that relationship is severed. When the job is lost. When the account has a low balance. When sickness hits. When you’re sad and clinging to the smallest hope. God will show up and give you grace for it all. Because He promises “I will” when you step forward into His purposes.

“Your ability to embrace instruction directly correlates with the breadth of your influence.”

In the dark night of the soul, very little hope may be found. But it’s here—in the valley—Jesus walks so closely with you and speaks tenderly to your heart. Don’t despise the hard times that forge a better you. Don’t waste the treasure found in the storm. God is wanting to speak tenderly to your heart and walk you through to that door of hope waiting in the valley of trouble (Hosea 2). If you ache, I’m so sorry for your pain. I wish I could give you a hug and pray with you. But know that Jesus is the light that pierces the darkest of nights. And that even if you don’t see Him moving, He is there.

Just think, what incredible intimacy is found in the hardship and testimony you will have to help walk others through their valleys. Your story of victory will be a beautiful declaration of God’s goodness!
