My Story-from pain to purpose
Hey Sisters- I’m Lisa Chapman-
A wife, mama of four, nurse of 20+years, a woman who has worn many titles…but the most powerful one? Daughter of God.
I created Crowned and Called out of my own journey of trauma, fear, spiritual dry seasons, overwhelm, burnout and healing…lots and lots of healing. I know what its like to feel like you’re drowning. Drowning in sorrow, depression, anxiety, guilt, financial debt, fear and so many other things.
Doing this is not something I ever thought I would be doing or want to do. How am I qualified? But that’s the thing-I’m not. But God is. God has done the work in me, He continues to do the work in me, He has led me through and carried me through the hard things.
My journey has not been picture perfect-it’s been far from it. I’m not perfect. It’s been messy. Heart-wrenching. Hard. But it’s also been grace-filled, miraculous, and marked by God’s hand every step of the way.
I am a survivor of repeated sexual abuse in my childhood and teenage years, experienced neglect and a broken home. I’ve wrestled with depression, anxiety, and bitterness so deep it almost consumed me. I’ve been in the middle of a broken marriage struggling to overcome the pain and betrayal that adultry brings, questioned everything and had to rebuild what was shattered.
I have screamed in private, cried out to God, and fought through rage, hate, and unforgiveness.
I’ve watched my child battle addiction, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia-carrying burdens no mother is ever prepared for.
Watched my Brother struggle through addiction and be by his side as he took his last breath.
I’ve struggled financially, wondering how the bills would be paid, had lights and water cut off, and questioned God in silence. At one point, well I am being all the way real here so at several points in my life questioned whether my life was worth living, and planned out how I would leave this world.
At 38 years old, I discovered the man that I thought was my father was not-and had to process an identity-shaking truth I never saw coming. It turned into an incredible blessing.
BUT GOD. BUT GRACE. BUT PURPOSE.
Through it all, God has never let go of me-even when I let go of myself.
I started Crowned & Called because I know what it feels like to be forgotten, worn out, angry, ashamed, and still somehow deeply called by God. This isn’t just some project, it’s a ministry built on God’s grace, to help women who are broken, healing, rebuilding, and rising into who God called them to be-like me.
Women who have been through hell on earth and are still here.
Women who want to heal.
Women who are saying, “I may be bruised, but I am not broken. I am BOSSED by grace.” Grace is my authority, my fuel, my covering. We don’t have to strive or prove. We don’t have to carry it all. We can walk in purpose because His grace carries us. 2 Corinthians 12:9 “My grace is sufficient for you, for your power is made perfect in weakness.” Romans 5:17 “Those who receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ”
Are you wanting to do more than just survive-but reign? Not in our own strength-but by His.
If that’s you…welcome.
You don’t have to hide your story here. You don’t have to have it all together.
You just need to know:
You are still Crowned. Still Called. Still Chosen.
This is your safe space. This is your sign. Let’s heal, rise and become all God has called us to be-together!
