Learn More About Us
Welcome to Between Grief & Glory. Between Grief & Glory grew out of our own encounters with valleys of grief and the healing presence of God. Both of us have walked through prolonged suffering and discovered that Christ meets us there with comfort and hope.
Paris brings over 10 years of ministry experience in chaplaincy, spiritual direction, and trauma-informed care, helping others listen for God’s voice and experience His nearness. Caleb brings a heart shaped by his own valleys of sorrow, offering the same understanding and gentle care he once received.
Together, our desire is simple: to create Christ-centered spaces for healing—where the weary find rest, the grieving find hope, and the broken encounter the God who makes beauty from ashes.
Through spiritual direction, mentorship, retreats, and outreach in the juvenile justice system, our ministry seeks to walk with people in life’s hardest spaces—where faith meets suffering and hope feels fragile.
