The Backstory

My Shortened Testimony

Hi, my name is Brooklyn! After a life I had built my identity on was suddenly wiped away from me, I felt completely lost. I no longer knew where I fit, and despite trying to put myself out there, I couldn’t seem to find real community or connection, which left me feeling deeply alone. I had gone to church before, but I never truly understood it and often walked away feeling frustrated, so I stopped trying. Then, over time, a few small but meaningful moments began to shift something in me: a stranger asked me to pray for him, so I prayed while being unsure on how to pray, and he came back to show me God heard our prayers. Not long after, I met a coworker whose genuine kindness and love challenged everything I thought I knew about Christians. Around the same time, I felt drawn to read the Bible for myself, even without fully understanding it. Eventually, I said yes to trying church again, and for the first time I began to realize that what I had been searching for wasn’t just people, but God at the center of my life. As I kept reading, learning, and showing up, everything started to make sense in a way it never had before, and one morning reading Matthew, I choose to follow God. In that moment, the loneliness I had carried for so long lifted, and I realized I wasn’t ever truly alone, God was with me through it all.

BE every Era's Story

Be Every Era started in 2021 as a small, heartfelt blog, under a slightly different name, BE era Magazine. Created during a time when I had just been diagnosed with a chronic illness and was navigating my own mental health journey, trying to learn how to still live a positive and meaningful life. It began as a space to share encouragement with other young women, and maybe one day grow into something bigger, but in that season it was simply a place where I showed up consistently and wrote from the heart. After stepping away for a time due to life’s challenges, I later returned to writing as I began to walk through a journey of discovering my faith. Through that, I started to realize something was missing and that changes needed to be made. Everything I was writing about, from mental health to physical wellbeing, ultimately pointed back to God. That shift reshaped the heart behind Be Every Era, turning it into a space not just for encouragement, but for faith-centered growth, where young women can navigate life with God at the center and know they’re not alone in what they’re walking through.
