My writing journey began after walking through the hardest year of my life. I believe God takes our greatest heartbreak and turns them into our greatest ministry! This has been true for me. In 2014, God asked me to share what I was learning in the midst of my pain and my Heartbreak to Strength blog was birthed. Now, my blog has grown into encouraging and helping other hurting hearts. If you are in the middle of heartbreak, I want to help you find hope, joy, and purpose through life’s unexpected storms! Read the Heartbreak to Strength Blog

My Depth Podcast launched in 2019. My hope is to encourage you to grow deeper in your faith and stronger in your relationships. Honestly, my hardest year of my life also became my most growing year in my faith. God has a way of taking us deeper as we trust Him in the middle of our storms. Listen to the Depth Podcast

My book, Depth: Growing Through Heartbreak to Strength, asks this question on the back cover: What if your greatest heartbreak catapults you to your greatest growth? This is what happened in my life. My prayer is that this book will help another hurting heart and offer them hope in the middle of their grief. Learn About the Book

My Book Ministry allows me to share God’s truth with others. “We lose ourselves in books; we find ourselves there too.” This was true for me. As I have walked through life’s unexpected storms, books have played a significant part in my healing and my growing, which is why I love to give books away. Learn About the Book Ministry

My Speaking Ministry gives me the opportunity to encourage women in person! As a single mom of two boys, I love to cheer on other moms along their motherhood journey with the truths I wish I knew as a young mom. I also love to encourage those grieving and offer hope to a hurting heart using my cracked clay pot. Finally, I love to inspire women to have Depth, to grow deep roots in their faith.

Personally, God is redeeming my story once again. After being single for 10 years, God brought an amazing Christian man into my life. In His perfect timing, David and I believe that God matched us! David and I share more of our story on my 200th episode on the podcast, as well as a more recent episode celebrating the 5 year anniversary of the podcast and 2 year birthday of the book (Episode 200 and Episode 216). My two sons are both seniors this year—one in college and one in high school. So proud of the mature young men they have become!

As I think back on my story, I am so thankful that God has not wasted one tear. If you are walking through an unexpected storm, let me first say that I am so sorry. I know how hard it can be. Secondly, I want to encourage you today. I know from experience that God wants to take you from a place of heartbreak to strength. As you depend on His strength, not your own, I believe God will grow your roots deeper in Him than ever before.

Love, Jodi
