This Sacred Unraveling

A Holy Undoing That Makes You Whole

Cover reveal
August 2026

Coming Fall 2026

Ten chapters, each anchored by an ancient Hebrew word. One gentler, truer way to live your faith.

This is a book for the one who kept every plate spinning until the spinning became her whole life. Through Scripture, story, and the ancient Hebrew words that shaped it, from tohu v’vohu to tikkun olam, Jodi walks through fear, shame, and unbelief toward a faith that breathes.

God does not unravel us to leave us in pieces. He unravels us to reveal someone truer, someone freer, someone who was always there underneath the knots, waiting.

About Jodi

Her life looked whole from the outside. Underneath, she was coming undone.

Jodi Ashcraft serves as chief of staff and women’s ministry director at Empower One, a Christian missions organization walking alongside indigenous leaders in South Sudan, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. She lives in Lubbock, Texas, with her husband Jason, where the cotton fields meet a very big sky.

Her story is one of a good life she got lost inside, a long mentorship, and the quiet moment God started pulling threads. She writes for anyone who recognizes herself in that sentence.
