About Me
Glory and Growth
Hey there friend!
My name is Kourtney Naomi and I am so honored to have you visit my blog. Glory and Growth started out as a blog to help young women between the ages of 21-40 grow in their relationship with God, but not in the traditional, perfectionist, dead-religion way.
Our walks with Jesus are meant to be holy. We are called to be set apart, to live righteously, and blamelessly in an imperfect world. I tried to do this for a long time. But I was constantly met with my own imperfections, my own weaknesses, and honestly my own sin.
This led me to performance and fear-based Christianity, which did nothing but burn me out, cause insecurity, stunt my growth, and damage my view of God.
Slowly but surely, over the years, God, in His kindness has shown me that the way to glory is through the process of growth empowered by faith in the Holy Spirit’s working. That journey and that process is messy.
So this blog is dedicated to the mess. It is the space where our mess meets the Messiah and that in-between space is Glory and Growth.
You won’t find answers here.
Only musings, wonderings, findings, learnings, and florals.
What you’ll find here is simply a scavenger hunt in comparison to the treasure that is Jesus.
Welcome <3
this is so interesting & refreshing.
Hey Kourt!
May God bless this endeavor. Thanks for sharing your life and lessons
Hey Kourt! It’s me, This is so interesting and it’s gonna be helpful for me because me too I struggle of anxiety and I care too much about of what people think.
thank you for your openness and willingness to be vulnerable. most of all i appreciate you sharing your beautiful faith journey with a God who is ‘stealthy’.
Kourtney, I love what you’ve shared about yourself and that you want to share what you’re learning about emotional health, well-being, and growth. I am not twenty-nine, but I wish I was because I wish I could have learned more at that age about being more sure of myself and worrying less about what other people thought. Just this morning I was thinking about my move to the states in my early 30s and how unsure I was about myself when I first stepped into NYC. But, I could also celebrate how far I had come, with God’s help, as today I confidently walked across Park Avenue. Then, getting into the elevator to go up to my workspace, I realized I am still unsure about myself in others ways! So, as I pressed the button, I said firmly “Rachel, be more confident.” Thanks, girl, your blog is going to be great and help so many women.
Kourtney! What a beautiful, refreshing style (and gift) of writing you have!! Reading your blog was so inviting!! Continue to share your story and what you’re learning about yourself. Sooo good and relatable.
