About This Ministry
Hello, I am Paris Byrum, I walk alongside weary souls, helping them find healing and renewal through biblical wisdom, spiritual formation, and trauma-informed mentorship. My passion is guiding people toward sustainable rhythms with God—unrushed time that brings peace and soul-deep restoration.
For over 15 years, I’ve journeyed with women in ministry, high achievers facing burnout, and those who’ve been hurt by the church. Together, we work to reclaim joy, create margin, and build a faith that can hold steady through life’s storms.
I love making rich theology accessible and practical, helping others apply Scripture to their everyday lives with clarity and care. I believe faith isn’t just about knowing truth but living it out in ways that deepen intimacy with Christ.
I’m trained in biblical counseling and am currently earning certifications in trauma-informed coaching and spiritual direction. I also serve as a chaplain with Juvenile Justice Outreach, mentoring teens in detention and on probation.
At home, I’m a homeschooling mom of six, and I find the deepest truths in quiet, poetic moments. Music is a constant companion on this journey, and I’m grateful to share what I’ve learned with others.
Between Grief + Glory was born out of my own journey through seasons of deep loss, brokenness, and wrestling with God’s presence in the midst of pain. I started this ministry because I know what it feels like to carry heavy burdens—whether from trauma, relational wounds, or spiritual confusion—and still long for hope, healing, and a faith that is real and sustaining.
I realized that so many people are stuck somewhere between grief and glory, caught in the tension of mourning what was lost and hoping for what God promises. Traditional ministry often leans too heavily on either theological ideas or quick-fix solutions, but rarely meets people in the messy, slow, and complex reality of their suffering.
Between Grief + Glory exists to create a safe, compassionate space where people can bring their whole selves—questions, doubts, pain, and hopes—and find guidance rooted in biblical wisdom, trauma-informed care, and soul companionship. This ministry is about walking alongside others as they navigate the hard seasons and discover that God’s glory often shines brightest in the places we least expect.
I am deeply humbled and honored to serve as a companion on this journey, helping others move toward a faith that is not just known, but deeply lived—one that holds both grief and glory in honest tension and finds God faithful through it all.
