Courtney Pray Duke shares her deeply personal journey of grief, faith, and resurrection following the tragic death of her husband, Andrew, in a cycling accident in 2012. As a mother of four young children and a former worship leader, Courtney describes how her life was shattered overnight, yet she discovered that God met her in the midst of her devastation. Drawing from Matthew 9 and other biblical passages, she reveals five lifelines to help others rise from brokenness: the breaking is where God meets you, declarations in the dark amplify truth, messy deconstruction leads to holy reconstruction, great pain can become great purpose, and the resurrection of Jesus makes resurrection possible in our lives. Her story is one of profound restoration—remarriage, a new child, and the release of her first book, 'She Got Up'—testifying that God turns mourning into joy and ashes into beauty. Courtney invites every woman in the room to declare, 'Dead dreams can rise,' and to trust that their story is far from over.
God meets you in your breaking, not after it.
Choosing to speak truth in the dark defeats fear and lies.
What feels like destruction is often divine reconstruction.
Your pain has purpose—God uses it to equip you for greater service.
