Between Grief + Glory  was born out of our shared journeys through suffering and the search for God’s presence in the midst of it. Both of us know what it feels like to carry heavy burdens—Paris through seasons of deep loss, trauma, and relational wounds, and Caleb through years of isolation and struggle with debilitating OCD. We’ve both tasted what it’s like to wrestle with questions, confusion, and pain, and still long for hope, healing, and a faith that is real and sustaining.

We realized that so many people live in that in-between place—caught between grief and glory, mourning what was lost while straining toward the promises of God. Too often, traditional ministry either leans on theological platitudes or quick-fix solutions, rarely making space for the slow, messy, and complex reality of suffering.

Between Grief + Glory exists to create sacred spaces of compassion where people can bring their whole selves—their doubts, questions, wounds, and hopes—and encounter God’s healing presence. Through chaplaincy, mentorship, spiritual care, and community, we seek to walk alongside others with biblical wisdom and trauma-informed soul care.

It is our deepest joy and honor to serve as companions on this journey—helping others discover that God’s glory often shines brightest in the very places we least expect. Here, grief and glory are held in honest tension, and in that space, faith is not just believed but deeply lived.

Hello, I am Paris Byrum,

You don’t have to carry your grief, exhaustion, or questions alone.

I serve weary souls who long for healing, steadiness, and a faith that can hold them in real life—not just in theory. Through Scripture-rooted guidance, spiritual formation, and trauma-informed mentorship, I help you create sustainable rhythms with God: unrushed time, gentle clarity, and practices that restore rather than demand.

Many who come here are navigating deep loss, spiritual confusion, burnout, or the quiet aftermath of trauma. You may feel disoriented, depleted, or unsure how to trust God again—especially if your faith has been tested by suffering, church harm, or seasons where provision feels uncertain. This space exists to meet you there.

Between Grief + Glory is about walking with you through the valleys—naming sorrow honestly, tending to what has been wounded, and slowly opening your hands again to hope. Together, we listen for God’s presence in the in-between places and learn how to live a faith that is both tender and resilient.

For over a decade, I’ve accompanied women in ministry, high achievers facing burnout, and those who have been hurt or overlooked by the church. My work centers on helping you reclaim joy, create margin, and cultivate a spirituality that is grounded, compassionate, and steady through life’s storms.

Here, theology is not abstract or heavy-handed. Scripture is approached with care—made accessible, livable, and integrated into the everyday realities of your life. Faith is not just something to understand, but something to inhabit in ways that deepen intimacy with Christ and bring rest to your nervous system and soul.

My approach is shaped by training in biblical counseling, ongoing formation in trauma-informed coaching and spiritual direction, and years of pastoral and chaplaincy experience with vulnerable populations. This means you are met with wisdom, discernment, and deep respect for your story and your pace.

If you are longing for a place where grief is honored, hope is not rushed, and God is encountered gently and faithfully—you are welcome here.
