This Sacred Unraveling

A Holy Undoing That Makes You Whole

Cover Reveal · August 2026

The Book · Coming Fall 2026

Some things have to come apart before they can come alive.

You have been faithful. You have given, served, and kept going even when the giving cost more than anyone around you knew. And yet something underneath all of that faithfulness feels thin and frayed. You are exhausted in a way sleep cannot fix. You have forgotten what it feels like to simply be yourself.

This Sacred Unraveling is for the woman who has built a good life and lost herself inside it. Through ancient Hebrew words that open layers of meaning no English translation can carry, and through the stories of women who found God faithful in their most undone moments, this book walks you through the sacred process of loosening what fear, shame, and exhaustion have wound too tightly around your soul.

This is not a journey back to who you used to be. It is an introduction to someone truer. Someone freer. Someone who was always there underneath the knots, waiting.

The Architecture

Ten chapters in three parts, each anchored by an ancient Hebrew word.

The book moves in three parts: What Binds Us, The Unraveling, and Walking Forward. These words carried God’s people through wilderness long before they carried this book. Here are three of them. The rest wait inside the book.

Hope, a cord

midbar

Wilderness, where God speaks

The Witness

The same unraveling, lived a world away

Woven through the book are the voices of leaders Jodi serves alongside in South Sudan, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, including David Kaya, Annet, and Mike Congrove. Their circumstances could hardly be more different from a West Texas suburb. The undoing God works in them is the same. Their witness keeps this from being a book about one woman, and makes it a book about how God deals with all of us.

This is a work of spiritual formation. It is a gentler, truer way to live faith in freedom.
