In this special coffee‑chat episode of With Grit & Grace: Men of Courage, Women of Valor, Angela Linville and co‑host Lisa Vanderveen explore the spiritual and practical significance of the Hebrew month of Av, a season marked by both mourning and comfort, destruction and restoration.

They share how this prophetic time on God’s calendar intersects with the challenges Kingdom builders face...especially the weight of building alone...and why stepping into new assignments often requires new structures, new relationships, and strategic, Spirit‑aligned support.

This is a deeply honest conversation about letting go of what no longer fits, embracing the “new wine” God is pouring out, and building in community rather than isolation.

• The prophetic meaning of Av and how it marks the shift from mourning to comfort, destruction to restoration.

• Why new wine requires new wineskins, and how this applies to your vision, relationships, and structures.

• The spiritual and strategic cost of building alone, and how to move toward collaborative, Kingdom‑aligned support.

• How to discern who belongs in your “wine cellar” for the next season.

• The role of Hebrew months in discerning timing and alignment for your Kingdom assignments.

• How God often uses strategic partnerships to multiply your impact, sharpen your discernment, and lighten your load.

• Luke 5:37‑38 – New wine must be poured into new wineskins.

• Examples from Moses building the tabernacle and Nehemiah rebuilding the wall...biblical templates for collaborative building.

• The dual themes of Av:

  • Destruction & loss – A time to release what can’t carry the next season.

  • Restoration & new beginnings – An invitation to step into covenant relationships and fresh assignments.

We’d love to hear:

• Where are you sensing God calling you to release the old?

• How have you experienced the shift from building alone to building with Spirit‑aligned support?

• Who might God be highlighting as part of your “wine cellar” in this next season?

This isn’t a polished, step-by-step episode. It’s raw. It’s real. It’s just Angela, talking straight from the middle of the mess. Because sometimes life throws you into a fire you never saw coming, and the only thing you can do is cling to grace and breathe through the unknown.

From single parenting and surviving domestic abuse, to finding a love forged in the fire with my husband Thomas, to facing new battles I never asked for...this is my unfiltered story. The lessons aren’t tidy, but they’re true:

• Faith isn’t always about feeling strong; sometimes it’s holding on by a thread.
• Grace isn’t a concept, it’s the oxygen that keeps you standing when grief tries to knock you down.
• This life is a vapor. And the moments we’re tempted to rush past? Those are the ones that matter most.

If you’ve ever felt tired of being “the strong one,” if your faith feels fragile, or if you’re just longing for a reminder that you’re not alone...this episode is for you.

• My journey from survival mode to a life built on real love, not performance.
• The beauty and ache of slowing down and savoring life’s fleeting moments.
• Why grief and gratitude can coexist, and how grace holds us through both.
• An invitation to release the pressure, be honest with your heart, and let God meet you in the mess.
• A raw reminder that Jesus doesn’t just save us...He gets us.

“Faith isn’t about having it all together. It’s about knowing Who holds you when everything’s falling apart.”

You don’t have to have all the answers.

You don’t have to perform to be worthy.

You don’t have to be strong every second of the day.

Grace is enough.

And so are you.
