We are a community of women who seek to follow Titus 2:3-5 teaching what we have learned. Our prayer is that we can be part of the transformation in a woman’s life by sharing our hard-earned wisdom, equipping them with the grit and grace needed to conquer life’s challenges, and inspiring a passion to follow Christ, the greatest source of our strength.

Our Podcast

Smart Living with Grit and Grace Podcast Join us each week as Darlene Brock, president of The Grit and Grace Project, and her co-host Julie Bender dive deep into the real-life challenges faced by women today. Our podcast is a treasure trove of insights, where we share hard-earned lessons and wisdom derived from personal experiences anchored in our faith. We feature inspiring guests who bring their personal stories to the table, and we’ll also offer a unique view of women in the Bible—discovering how their journeys resonate with our own lives.
We may not have all the answers, but we’ve gathered invaluable lessons along the way. As Darlene puts it, “Life’s too short to learn from your mistakes; learn from someone else’s.” Tune in and empower yourself with knowledge that can help you navigate life with grit and grace!
Our Guidebooks

The Smart Living in Small Bites
We have created a guidebook series by women who wrote the books they wished they had when they needed them. These guidebooks address challenges such as difficult marriages, the loss of a loved one to suicide, anxiety, sexual abuse, re-entering the dating scene, and betrayal. The stories shared and the hope they convey will resonate with anyone facing similar challenges.
In each guidebook, you will have the opportunity to:
– Read another woman’s story—one that may mirror your own.
– Discover the problems she encountered and the steps she took to overcome them.
– Find courage through her confidence and hope.
– Write your own story and struggles in the pages provided.
– Take comfort in the realization that you don’t have to walk this journey alone.
Each guidebook offers understanding, wisdom, and hope, all supported by the strength of our faith, which is the hallmark of this series.

A Message from President, Darlene Brock
The most valuable life lessons I have learned were listening to the wisdom of another, watching what they did and how they lived. I knew I wasn’t alone in that reality. The Grit and Grace Project was started to gather women from every age and place in life a place to share what they have learned—valuable life lessons that will be for you what others have been for me.
