You can live an amazing life on the other side of hard things.
I'm Heather Shore. I've walked through domestic violence, divorce, and health issues, and I am not writing to you from the middle of it. I'm writing from the other side, where the life is good and the freedom is real. Through Restoring Ministries I write, speak, host Pursuing Redemption, and hold the door open for anyone on their way here.
One ministry. Many doors in.
Restoring Ministries is a 501(c)(3) helping people find hope, healing, and freedom after the hardest seasons of their lives. The work takes different shapes, a podcast, books, free resources, gatherings, and a music festival, and gifts to the ministry support The Spring, Tulsa's domestic violence shelter.

Pursuing Redemption
Real stories of healing and restoration from people who have walked through fire and come out the other side. Listeners in 129 countries.
Eleven years of honest writing.
Encouragement for the hard days, and what following God has actually looked like since 2015. This is where most people find her first.
Deliverance from Egypt
Egypt in the Bible represents a place of enslavement. A place where bondage happened for the Jewish people. They were lead there by their choices in Genesis and eventually freed by Moses. Liberation from enslavement came in the form of leaving a country and heading into a wilderness season
Books for the healing journey.
Three books on healing from abuse, shaking off the lies you were handed, and the freedom the Holy Spirit brings. Written from inside it, and finished on the other side. Every copy ships from Heather's own shelf, signed on request, and every sale supports the work of Restoring Ministries.
The woman behind the work.
Heather is a mom, writer, and speaker. She survived domestic violence, then walked through divorce, cancer, and loss, and found freedom on the far side of each. Everything on this site is the life she got back, handed on.
If you or someone you love is in an abusive situation: you are not alone, and it is not your fault. Start with the resources page, or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233.
Words of hope, in your inbox.
