Our Story
In November of 2018, our family published, Faith Over Fear: Walking Angie Home to honor the legacy and life of Angie. The response to sharing our own personal story of grief and loss blew us away and inspired us to help others harness their own stories. The following year, Gritty Faith Magazine was born and it is the next chapter of honoring Angie’s legacy by encouraging others to be bold in their faith, fight for their peace and live with Faith Over Fear.
The goal of Gritty Faith is to ignite authentic connections to bring people one step closer to God. Our “meet you where you are at” philosophy, combined with vulnerable, real conversation, provides an unintimidating environment for all people to grow in their faith.
Through our magazine, we highlight the stories of fighters and survivors, dream chasers, and determined warriors – the stories of people just like you and me who have been through hell and refuse to live there. It is our hope that this magazine will land in the hands of those who need it most. That one day, a copy will be sitting on a coffee table in the waiting room of that dreaded appointment, or a park bench or bus seat next to the person that is ready to give up, or in the mailbox of someone lonely and aching for hope and love, and on that day we pray these stories are a God Thing. We pray that sharing these real life experiences of faith over fear are exactly what is needed to get someone through a dire moment and take one step closer to God.
We firmly believe that authentic connections can change the world. We openly talk about how hard life is while offering tactical advice on how to rely on God by sharing the stories of those in the trenches. Our purpose is to spark a movement where authentic connections are encouragement to live life fully, despite fear and struggles; where raw, real conversations help you find grace in your experiences and show you how to fight for your peace, leading you one step closer to God.
