FAITH NEWS SERVICE – Gilbert, AZ — July 14, 2026 — What if healing begins not by fixing what’s broken but by truly knowing the heart of God?

In her new thirty-day devotional, Refined: Knowing God’s Heart, Finding Your Own (Redemption Press, 2026), author and ministry leader Lori L. Brink invites readers into a gentle, Scripture-rooted journey of healing, restored identity, and renewed trust in God’s faithful love.

Anchored in Psalm 139, Refined helps readers move beyond distorted beliefs shaped by pain, performance, or past experiences and toward a clearer understanding of who God is and how His love shapes identity.

Written from Lori’s own journey of healing and transformation, Refined weaves together honest storytelling, thoughtful teaching, prayer, and reflection to help readers discover God’s loving character, release striving and performance-based faith, experience healing in wounded places, and embrace their identity as deeply known and fully loved.

“Healing began for me when I stopped striving to be enough and allowed God to show me who He truly is,” says Brink. “My hope is that readers come to know His heart more deeply and find freedom and peace rooted in being deeply known and fully loved.”
