About the Guest: Tracy Brester is deeply involved in the impactful work of Harbor Ministries and its extension, Revel. Founded in 2020, Revel emerged from the foundations laid by Tim Bulkeley and his 16-year legacy with Harbor Ministries, initially tailored for men. Inspired by Tim's lifelong dedication to ministry, Tracy recognized the crucial need for leaders to cultivate healthy spiritual rhythms to sustain their journey in ministry. Acknowledging the intense demands of leadership, Tracy embodies the belief that "the winds blow hardest at the top," dedicating her efforts to nurturing resilient leaders through her work with Revel.

Courtney Lockridge is a devoted and nurturing parent who experienced a profound emotional journey when her daughter left for college. Known for fostering independence in her daughter, she encouraged her to make her own decisions during her senior year under their roof. Despite preparing herself for the farewell at college, Courtney was surprised by the unexpected void she felt upon returning home without her daughter. This transition challenged her emotionally, but through the support of a friend and mentor, she recognized her feelings of loss as a form of grieving. Courtney's story is one of love, growth, and the complexities of parental transitions.
