This Sacred Unraveling

A Holy Undoing That Makes You Whole

Coming Fall 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. Jodi calls it the swirl: the second-guessing and the pressure that never quite settles. You are exhausted in a way sleep cannot fix. You have forgotten what it feels like to simply be yourself. And on an ordinary Tuesday, without warning, a question you do not have room for surfaces: Is this all there is?

This Sacred Unraveling is for the woman who has built a good life and lost herself inside it. Through ancient Hebrew words that illuminate layers of meaning within the Scriptures, 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 names the fear, shame, and unbelief wound around a faithful life. The Unraveling walks through the letting go and the wilderness where God speaks. And Walking Forward turns toward what He made you for: a life of trust and freedom, lived for His Kingdom. 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.

The Witness

The same unraveling, lived a world away

The book carries voices besides Jodi’s. They belong to leaders and friends she serves alongside in South Sudan, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, communities shaped by war, displacement, loss, courage, joy, and extraordinary faithfulness. Their circumstances are profoundly different from her own. And yet the threads are recognizable: fear is still fear, shame still hides, hope still holds, and God is still faithful.

Their witness has formed Jodi as much as anything she has gone there to give. That is why their stories belong in these pages. This is a work of spiritual formation, an invitation into a gentler, truer way of living with God. And the unraveling was never the point. Jesus was.

The book was built to be read together. Every chapter closes with honest reflection questions, a Scripture practice, and one concrete step, so ten chapters in three parts make a natural ten-week journey for a small group, book club, or women’s ministry. A free companion guide is on the way. To talk about bulk copies, or to bring Jodi to your gathering, start with the speaking page.

The book has a companion
