About Me
My Story
I’m Candace Lane — a former nurse, a wife, a mom, and a woman who knows what it feels like to fall apart and find grace anyway. After hitting my own rock bottom, God met me with love, not condemnation. Holy Grit was born from that story — a place where brokenness turns into beauty and grit gets covered in grace.
Why Holy Grit Was Born
Faith isn’t about perfection — it’s about surrender. After my own journey through addiction, loss, and rebuilding, God showed me that real strength is found in His hands. Holy Grit is my way of offering others the same hope that changed my life: Jesus doesn’t quit, even when we feel like we might.

About Candace | Founder of Holy Grit
I didn’t wake up one day and decide to start a Christian blog. I was called to it—dragged through fire, rescued from death, and planted in purpose.
I’m Candace Lane. A former registered nurse turned stay-at-home mom, content creator, and now—blogger.
I’m a woman who has overdosed, detoxed, broken five vertebrae, cried on hospital floors, picked up recovery chips, and still showed up for my kids. I’ve been given a million diagnoses. I’ve been handed every prescription the world offers for pain, trauma, and survival.
But let me be clear: God healed me.
No meds. No labels. No lie from hell could keep me from the truth that set me free.
I spent 6 months in rehab. I spent 10 days in a mental hospital for suicidal ideation. And I spent years running from the very thing. I’m now standing in—my calling.
I’m a mom of four, with only two of my babies living with me. I know what it feels like to parent through pain, to smile when you’re shattered, and to fight for sobriety with everything you’ve got left. I once weighed over 100 pounds more than I do now. After I broke my back in 2020—just six months after giving birth—I thought my life was over. But God used my rock bottom as the foundation for something unshakable.
Holy Grit isn’t just a brand.
It’s how I live.
It’s how I parent.
It’s how I pray.
It’s how I keep showing up when everything in me wants to quit.
This blog is for the woman who’s not interested in pretty quotes with no power. It’s for the one who has walked through rehab, rage, religion, and real pain—and still wants more of Jesus.
I’m not here to coddle you.
I’m here to call you up.
Because you don’t need a platform. You need an altar.Y
ou don’t need followers. You need freedom.
And you don’t need perfect. You need Holy Grit.
