Join our launch team today!

Read Brave Change before its release, journey through its message with a community of women, and help other readers discover the book as we prepare for launch.

Hey Beloved, Have you ever walked through a season of change you did not choose—one that changed the trajectory of your life?

Brave Change was written for women navigating unexpected seasons and learning to trust God when life doesn’t go according to plan. Through biblical wisdom, personal testimony, and practical guidance, my desire is to help women find the courage to move forward when a season is over and trust God to finish writing their stories.

As we prepare for the January 26 release, I’m inviting a special group of women to come alongside me as the Brave Change Launch Team. This is an opportunity to experience the book as a reader first—to read, reflect, pray, and journey through its message together. Along the way, you’ll have opportunities to share your takeaways, connect with other women, and help introduce Brave Change to readers who may see their own stories reflected in its pages.

My prayer is that Brave Change speaks to you personally as you read it and that, together, we can help this book find its way to the women it was written to serve.

With grace & gratitude,
Krista

I want to join the launch team!

What It Means to Be A Part of the Launch Team

As a Brave Change Launch Team member, you’ll:
READ + REFLECT
Receive a digital advance reader copy (ARC) of Brave Change and be among the first to read it. You’ll have opportunities to reflect on what resonates with you and share your own takeaways along the way.
JOURNEY TOGETHER
Join our private Facebook community where we’ll talk about the book, encourage one another, share our experiences, and connect around what we’re learning about navigating unexpected seasons, moving forward, and trusting God to finish writing our story.
PRAY + SHARE
Pray for Brave Change, for me as we prepare for release, and for the readers who will encounter its message.
We believe prayer is one of the most important ways you can support this launch.
You’ll also have opportunities to authentically share the book and your experience reading it with others—online, in conversation, in your church or women’s community, or wherever your influence naturally happens.
BE PART OF THE LAUNCH
Receive behind-the-scenes updates, ready-to-share graphics and resources, an invitation to a special virtual Q&A, giveaways and surprises, and advance information about the Brave Change Launch Brunch.

What We Ask of You

We’re asking launch team members to make four simple commitments:

READ • PRAY • PARTICIPATE • SHARE

Read the digital advance copy of Brave Change and engage with the message as a reader.

Pray for the book, the launch, and the readers who will encounter it.

Participate in the private community as you are able by joining conversations, sharing takeaways, and encouraging one another.

Share your authentic experience with Brave Change, recommend it to others when appropriate, and write an honest review on Amazon and Goodreads during launch week.

You do not need a large social media following to be part of this team. Your influence may happen through a conversation with a friend, your church or women’s ministry, a book club, a social media post, an email or text, or an honest review.

Every prayer, conversation, recommendation, review, and share matters.

If you are able to preorder or purchase a copy of Brave Change, your support is deeply appreciated, but purchasing the book is not required to join the launch team.

Brave Change: Navigating Unexpected Seasons in Midlife with Faith, Courage, and Grace

Have you ever walked through a season of change you did not choose—one that changed the trajectory of your life?

Drawing from Naomi’s story in the book of Ruth and my own journey through unexpected change, Brave Change offers biblical wisdom, personal testimony, and practical guidance for navigating the unexpected endings, finding the courage to move forward, walking through transition, and trusting God with what comes next.

Because the end of a season is not the end of your story.

God is still writing it.

Brave Change releases January 26, 2027.

book Reviews
  • There are seasons in midlife when what once fit no longer does. In Brave Change, Krista Pettiford offers biblical wisdom and guidance for women navigating these sacred crossroads. If you are learning to trust God as you enter a new chapter in your life, this book will help you embrace change with courage, grace, and renewed hope.

  • As someone who has walked through unwanted change and helped countless women navigate lives they never planned for, I know how rare and needed Brave Change truly is. Krista Pettiford doesn’t minimize the grief or rush the healing—she meets women where they are and points them toward a God who never stopped writing their story. With honesty, hope, and practical biblical wisdom, this is the book I wish had existed in my own hardest seasons. If your life looks nothing like you planned, let this be your companion and your courage.
