Nothing Is Wasted is a story for anyone who has encountered trauma, tragedy, or a major transition and wondered, How do I begin to move forward through what I've experienced?
Where is God in the midst of your greatest pain?
Davey Blackburn wrestled with that age-old question in the aftermath of the murder of his beloved wife, Amanda, and their unborn daughter. As the high-profile case slowly meandered its way toward legal justice, Davey embarked on the wrenching task of finding strength to restore his shattered soul and the broken pieces of his life.
At turns horrific yet hope-filled, heartbreaking yet faith-affirming, Nothing Is Wasted is Blackburn’s disarmingly raw account not only of the shocking tragedy that forever changed his life but of his late wife’s inspiring trust in the God who welcomed her into His loving arms.
The trauma he endured could have made anyone try to escape from the agony, yet by grace Blackburn chose to face the pain head-on and cling to his Savior to guide him through the storm.
As the riveting story of one man’s journey through the valley of suffering unfolds, readers will join Blackburn in discovering:
the surprising ways that hope and joy can arise in the midst of any trial or sorrow
the tension in accepting that “Why?” may never become clear this side of eternity
how a good Father is faithful to draw near to the brokenhearted
how forgiveness is the key to finding freedom in even the most unimaginable of offenses
where to discover purpose in the deepest pain
how a breathtaking moment at the altar symbolized love’s triumph over death
. . . and much more.
Most of us will never endure the depth of heartache that Blackburn has walked through and yet his message is for us all: that even in the greatest losses and most complex tragedies, God is inviting us on a path towards redemption and healing, hope and faith, where we can begin to see that nothing is wasted.

The Hope in the Valley: 42 Days of Healing Through the Psalms After Loss, Grief, and Tragedy Devotional is a companion for anyone navigating the deep pain of loss, heartbreak, or tragedy. Whether you’re reeling from a personal loss or simply trying to make sense of suffering, this devotional meets you in the valley—and gently walks with you toward healing.
Written by the Nothing is Wasted team, coaches, and past podcast guests, each day offers a real story from someone who’s been there—who has experienced the crushing weight of grief and still found God’s goodness in the darkness. Their journeys are raw, redemptive, and deeply relatable. Each story is paired with a Psalm, helping you anchor your pain in scripture and find a pathway through even the hardest days.
Because stories matter. They shape us. They reveal wounds—but they also reveal hope. When we see ourselves in the stories of others, something shifts. We find courage. We feel less alone. And we begin to believe that maybe, just maybe, God can rebuild something beautiful out of the brokenness and lead us to hope in the valley.
In this devotional, you’ll find:
42 daily readings connecting powerful personal stories with the healing words of the Psalms
Honest reflections from people who have faced real pain—loss, tragedy, trauma—and discovered hope

Reflection questions to process your own journey and begin to move forward
Whether you're in the middle of your valley or slowly climbing your way out, Hope in the Valley is a daily companion to remind you that healing is possible, and hope is still ahead and even in our valleys, nothing is wasted.

About Coach Tammy Gerber
Tammy is a Registered Nurse and Certified Trauma Recovery Coach whose passion for coaching grew from her own healing journey. Having experienced sexual abuse, infertility, miscarriages, adoption, chronic health struggles, perfectionism, and parenting a child with severe mental illness, she understands the deep impact of trauma and shame. Tammy believes healing begins by honestly understanding how trauma has shaped your story, embracing God’s unconditional love and your worth in Him, and using your story of healing and hope to encourage others.
After trauma, tragedy, and deep personal pain, it’s easy to lose sight of who you truly are. When heartache, comparison, betrayal, or past wounds begin to define us, we can find ourselves trapped in cycles of shame and disconnection—drifting from the identity God originally designed for us.
But trauma may shape parts of your story—it does not get the final word.
In this powerful masterclass, Nothing is Wasted Coach Wilma Kinsman invites you into a deeper understanding of the identity God calls you to live from—an identity not rooted in wounds, labels, or shame, but anchored in Jesus.
Through both personal experience and professional insight, Coach Wilma compassionately explores how trauma impacts our sense of self, how unhealthy attachments and shame distort our identity, and how healing happens in safe, redemptive community.
In Identity Restored: Reclaiming Who You Are After Trauma, Pain, and the Labels That Hold You Back, Coach Wilma will help you:
Understand the difference between wounded identity and God-given identity
Identify the false labels and shame narratives you’ve been carrying
Learn practical ways to live from your true, Jesus-anchored identity
If you’ve ever felt defined by your trauma, stuck in shame, or unsure who you really are anymore, this masterclass will gently guide you toward clarity, freedom, and restoration. You are more than what happened to you—and reclaiming your identity is possible.

About Coach Wilma Kinsman:
Wilma Kinsman is a trauma-informed coach and registered nurse with a deep passion for helping others heal from trauma and reclaim their identity in Christ. She grew up in an Amish family where she experienced physical, emotional, and spiritual abuse. After two failed marriages, she began a transformative journey of understanding her trauma responses and rebuilding her life.
With experience in hospice and various nursing fields, Wilma creates safe, shame-free spaces for those navigating abuse, betrayal, grief, church hurt, PTSD, and other painful life experiences. She believes that while trauma may shape us, it does not define us—the Cross does—and she is committed to helping others live from a restored, Jesus-anchored identity.
We often hear about the lasting effects of post-traumatic stress—but far less about the incredible growth that can emerge after trauma. Is it possible for the deepest pain in your life to become the birthplace of healing, purpose, and transformation?
Trauma can shape the way we see ourselves, God, and the world around us. While pain may be unavoidable, remaining stuck is not. With the right support and understanding, healing is possible—and growth can follow even life’s most devastating experiences.
In this masterclass, Nothing Is Wasted Coach Teresa Glantz offers hope-filled insight and practical guidance to help you understand post-traumatic growth and begin moving forward with intention and healing.
In Post-Traumatic Growth: A Pathway from Trauma to Transformation, Teresa will help you:
Allow your trauma to become a catalyst for meaningful growth in your life
Discover hope and purpose after pain
Learn how to move through trauma in ways that lead to healing and wholeness
If you’ve experienced trauma and wonder whether anything good can come from your story, this masterclass will help you see how growth and transformation are possible—even after profound loss and hardship.

About Coach Teresa Glantz:
Teresa Glantz was born into generations of trauma and abuse, including alcoholism, domestic violence, and emotional and verbal harm. She has endured profound personal loss, including discovering her oldest brother after he ended his life by suicide. Later in life, a DNA test revealed that the man who raised her was not her biological father—another unexpected trauma that reshaped her story.
Today, Teresa is a certified Trauma Recovery Coach and the Coaching Director for Nothing Is Wasted Ministries. She is passionate about helping others process their past, uncover areas of trauma, and experience the wholeness and healing that Jesus came to give.

From Brokenness to Wholeness is a gentle, faith-centered masterclass led by Nothing is Wasted Coach Brooke Talley, offering integrated spiritual and somatic practices for healing after loss. Drawing from her own journey through grief, Brooke guides you toward peace, rest, and wholeness.

With deep compassion and decades of personal and professional experience, Teresa teaches:
What trauma actually is (and how it shows up in your life)
The five key trauma stages: Disbelief, Confusion, Seeking Support, Reconnection, and Post-Traumatic Growth
How trauma affects the body and nervous system

There are some topics that can feel taboo when it comes to the pain we’ve experienced–one of those is sexual betrayal. And while it can feel like no one talks about the impact of infidelity in a marriage, the truth is statistically somewhere between 20-40% of marriages are affected by it. In fact, there is a good chance that you or someone you know has walked through sexual betrayal and are looking for healing after the heartbreak.
It can be devastating to find out that your spouse has been unfaithful. Navigating sexual betrayal and all the muddiness involved in your marriage can be difficult alone, but finding healing in the ongoing fallout of the deception can seem impossible. Yet, no matter what happens in your relationship, there is hope.
In this upcoming masterclass, Karissa Sprinkle will share:
How to heal from the trauma of sexual betrayal
What forgiveness is and isn’t
Navigating friendships and faith struggles while in recovery

Whether you yourself are going through a loss or you are walking alongside someone who is, this class will help you have simple tools for engaging grief and the pain it causes.
Pain is an indicator.
It communicates to us that something is wrong. This is true of both emotional pain and physical pain. It is a message that causes us to react. When we touch a hot stove and feel the pain our first reaction is to jerk away.
Emotional pain has the same effect on us, however we must respond differently to this type of pain; we must sometimes keep our hand “on the burner” and allow ourselves to experience the emotional pain in order to become healthier. Stepping into emotional pain and grief, whether our own or someone else's, is difficult to do. And yet, it is the path we must take if we ever want to experience any sort of healing or be a source of help for those grieving a loss.
Jeff and Mackenzie Rollins are going to share with you:
What the grieving heart is experiencing: a inside look into the heart of someone who is grieving a loss
How grief changes over time: a glimpse of how grief changes with time for a healthy grieving heart
What the grieving heart needs: some practical tips on short-term, mid-term, and long-term care for a grieving heart
Grief circles: how to view loss and support a grieving heart
We know talking about grief can be difficult, but in a world where so much loss exists, learning to lean in to the painful parts of life for ourselves and for others is so important.

No matter who you are, the fact is that trauma will undoubtedly touch your life. Whether your own experience in suffering and pain or as you bear witness to the losses and griefs of others, it is impossible to walk through life unscathed.
This masterclass will give you:
A deeper understanding of what trauma is and how it impacts every relationship in our life, including our relationship with God.
Knowledge of how trauma can lead to anxiety and depression.
Insight into how God is greater than our trauma and what it takes to heal with practical advice on how to manage the emotions that come up because of our trauma.
Trauma is unfortunately a part of living in a broken world and while this was never God’s intention for our lives, through the pain and suffering we experience, He offers us an invitation into a deeper wisdom and knowledge of Him.
This class is for you whether or not you have experienced a trauma because as you gain a greater understanding of what trauma is and what it does, you will be able to partner with God to bring comfort to others in their pain and perhaps one day, find comfort in the midst of your own.

The anvil is a symbol of a placeholder. The placeholder where a skilled blacksmith carefully crafts and forges an otherwise discardable piece of metal into a tool that can have a true impact. A sword, for instance, must be rid of all of its impurities so that it’s not too brittle to be wielded in battle. This process requires careful and strategic hammering and though the process can be quite painful, it’s refining. At Nothing is Wasted Ministries our desire is to be the placeholder where The Lord does his shaping work in your life. We’ll hold the space as you allow him to repurpose your pain into something that change your world.

Nothing Is Wasted is a story for anyone who has encountered trauma, tragedy, or a major transition and wondered, How do I begin to move forward through what I've experienced?
Where is God in the midst of your greatest pain?
Davey Blackburn wrestled with that age-old question in the aftermath of the murder of his beloved wife, Amanda, and their unborn daughter. As the high-profile case slowly meandered its way toward legal justice, Davey embarked on the wrenching task of finding strength to restore his shattered soul and the broken pieces of his life.
At turns horrific yet hope-filled, heartbreaking yet faith-affirming, Nothing Is Wasted is Blackburn’s disarmingly raw account not only of the shocking tragedy that forever changed his life but of his late wife’s inspiring trust in the God who welcomed her into His loving arms.
The trauma he endured could have made anyone try to escape from the agony, yet by grace Blackburn chose to face the pain head-on and cling to his Savior to guide him through the storm.
As the riveting story of one man’s journey through the valley of suffering unfolds, readers will join Blackburn in discovering:
the surprising ways that hope and joy can arise in the midst of any trial or sorrow
the tension in accepting that “Why?” may never become clear this side of eternity
how a good Father is faithful to draw near to the brokenhearted
how forgiveness is the key to finding freedom in even the most unimaginable of offenses
where to discover purpose in the deepest pain
how a breathtaking moment at the altar symbolized love’s triumph over death
. . . and much more.
Most of us will never endure the depth of heartache that Blackburn has walked through and yet his message is for us all: that even in the greatest losses and most complex tragedies, God is inviting us on a path towards redemption and healing, hope and faith, where we can begin to see that nothing is wasted.
