A Course to Help You Overcome Your Trauma
Recover From Grief + Trauma
We see the pain you're carrying—and we know how heavy it is.
When life is shattered by tragedy, betrayal, or loss, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, stuck, or numb. You’ve tried to keep going, but the ache won’t go away. The Pain to Purpose Course meets you in the midst of your valley—not with quick fixes, but with guided healing. We’ve walked this road ourselves. With biblical wisdom, trauma-informed insights, and a proven framework, we’ll walk with you toward real healing. You don’t have to stay in survival mode. There is hope. There is healing. And it starts here.
Repair the Broken Pieces
What happened to you matters—but it doesn’t have to define you.
After trauma, everything can feel fractured: your identity, your relationships, even your faith. This course helps you name what’s been broken and gently walk through the process of rebuilding. We help you address what’s beneath the surface—grief, shame, anger, anxiety—so you can move forward with clarity and courage. We don’t just offer information. We offer transformation. With biblical truth, soul care practices, and practical tools, you’ll begin to see wholeness take shape—piece by piece.
Re-Ignite Your Purpose
You were made for more than just surviving your story—you were made to live it with purpose.
Pain may have altered your path, but it hasn’t canceled your calling. Inside this course, we help you reconnect with your God-given identity and reimagine your future through the lens of redemption. Whether you feel disqualified, directionless, or disconnected, we’ll help you design a purpose-filled life that aligns with God’s heart. This isn’t just healing for your past—it’s fuel for your future. Let’s rebuild your life by design, not default.
When trauma, tragedy, or major life transition occur …
people show up initially … but eventually they move on.
Without a clearly marked path and a carefully devised plan this valley you’re facing will only seem to grow darker, more depressing, and more difficult to navigate.
You are left alone and don’t know where to go.
This course will give you a pathway and a plan to move through your valley.

"The Pain to Purpose course puts to words the path of healing and redemption that God has brought me through. These waypoints brought affirmation and additional insight to the process that God used to turn our trials into testimony's.

"The Pain to Purpose course has not only personally grown my heart to seek God above my circumstances, but it has beckoned awareness for the new life lived now...in so healthy a way that I see the healing benefits in my marriage, children's lives, and influence among the Church and friends, who are not immune to hardship. This video course proves that alone ess is a lie and witness is always available. Priceless if you do not want to stay where you are, while healthily grieving what feels lost or stolen."

"Pain to Purpose gave me what I needed, before I knew I needed it. I thought P2P was going to help me take to take me to the next level, which it did, but I didn't know that while in the program something pretty major was going to happen with one of my kids that was pretty scary. P2P helped my family navigate the situation and come through it much quicker."

Davey Blackburn
In November of 2015, Davey’s wife Amanda was murdered in a home invasion, along with their unborn child. As the lead pastor of a church plant in Indianapolis and the father of their 15 month-old son, Weston, Davey was forced to not only live through this tragedy, but learn to lead others through pain as well. Throughout the journey, God walked Davey on a path of healing that he couldn’t have orchestrated for himself.
He started The Nothing is Wasted Podcast and after hundreds of conversations with others who have found purpose in their pain and through coaching people 1:1 through their trauma, Davey has curated the healing principles he learned into an 11 session video course to help you live, learn, and lead through pain. In the video course Davey walks you from point ‘A’ to point ‘Z’ of navigating your valley, helping you uncover the things God wants to teach you, and leading you to a renewed sense of purpose out of your pain.
He is the author of Nothing is Wasted: A True Story of Hope, Forgiveness, and Finding Purpose in Pain and he is the executive director of Nothing is Wasted Ministries. He currently lives outside of Indianapolis, IN with his wife, Kristi, and their three kids Natalia, Weston and Cohen.
