    I Rise and Roar

    When the Lifeline Drowns

    When the people you depend on cannot carry you, God may be teaching you where to anchor.

    The Silent Weight of One-Sided Connections

    When Loving Others Begins to Cost You Your Peace

    July 9, 2026 /

    Sometimes the heaviest burdens aren't the ones we can see—they're the relationships we quietly carry alone.

    My Emotional Resurrection: What Dying to My Old Self Taught Me

    April 22, 2026 /

    There was a version of me that had to die. Not physically… but emotionally, spiritually, deeply. And the truth is—I didn’t know how heavy she was until I finally laid her down. This Lent wasn’t about routine sacrifice. It became my mirror. A sacred uncovering. A quiet unraveling. An emotional resurrection. The Quiet Days There were no loud breakthroughs. No dramatic moments. Just silence… and truth. The kind of silence that forces you to sit with yourself. The kind that doesn’t let you run. And in that stillness, I met the parts of me I had been avoiding. The grief I buried. The weight I carried that was never mine.…

    Releasing What Was Never Yours.

    January 10, 2026 /

    Many people confuse strength with endurance. We learn early to carry emotional weight that isn’t ours — other people’s reactions, expectations, and unresolved pain. Over time, this becomes normal. Survival looks like productivity. Growth looks like silence. And self-abandonment gets mistaken for resilience. Personal growth begins when you realize you don’t have to carry everything to be strong. For a long time, I carried things that were never mine. Not because I had to, but because holding everything together felt like the only way to stay grounded. Other people’s emotions. Their chaos. Their choices. Somewhere along the way, strength became synonymous with self-sacrifice. That kind of strength doesn’t break you…

    Discernment in the Dark: Praying Through the Pain

    September 22, 2025 /

    There are days when my body aches so deeply I can barely move. When my chest feels heavy with sorrow. When anxiety swells like waves crashing over my mind, and depression lingers like a fog refusing to lift. It is in these moments — the midnight hours of the soul — that I am reminded of the sacred necessity of discernment and the power of relentless prayer. Discernment isn’t always a loud revelation. Sometimes, it’s a whisper through the tears. It’s the strength to say, “God, I don’t understand this pain, but I trust You.” We are not called to walk through suffering alone. We are called to pray —…

    3 Signs Your Spirit Is Broken (But Not Defeated)

I’m Ruthann—a woman of faith, writer, and co-founder of Axcession Granted. I created I Rise and Roar as a sacred space for all who are tired of shrinking and ready to rise.

This platform was born from my own transformation—from silent prayers to bold obedience. I help others reconnect with God, rediscover their voice, and walk in divine purpose—unapologetically.

Called. Covered. Unapologetically chosen.
