Take A Hike: A Journey of Healing & Strength in God
Hiking began as a simple way for me to seek God through His creation. What started as a personal journey grew into something far deeper. Growing up, I had been through a lot, but nothing could prepare me for the back-to-back deployments, marital struggles, betrayal, and abuse that would shake me to my core.
In those dark times, a small group of women joined me on hikes to unknown places—far away from the noise, demands, and chaos of daily life. We found sanctuary in the quiet, a safe space to be vulnerable, to rest, to just be. It was there that I encountered healing—healing for my body, my heart, and my spirit.
What started with just three women has now grown into a community of strong female leaders who live with purpose and intentionality, making God our priority rather than conforming to the hustle and bustle of cultural norms. We are women who seek communion with like-minded sisters, women who challenge, encourage, and build one another up in a way that only the body of Christ can.
At Take A Hike, we go deep. We laugh, we face mental and physical challenges, and we reset our strength through God’s presence. We intentionally carve out time to leave the demands of life behind and return to our true selves—centered in Christ. And as we do, we are equipped to reenter our workspaces, homes, marriages, and friendships with a laser-focused passion and purpose that brings glory to God.
We embrace the reality that we are all human and imperfect, and we affirm one another in that truth. No matter what mistakes we’ve made or what challenges we face, we stand strong in the knowledge that Christ lives in us and is always at work, bringing life from the ashes.
