He Knows My Name: How I Walked Through Fire and Found Victory Holding His Hand

There’s a sacred kind of comfort that comes when you realize—really realize—that God knows your name.

Not just the name others use. Not just the title you carried—Pastor’s Wife, First Lady, Mom, Counselor, Leader. No, He knows your soul-name. The one buried beneath the grief, the abuse, the confusion, the shame.

I remember the moment this song found me.

I wasn’t standing in a pulpit or surrounded by applause. I was standing at rock bottom—widowed, betrayed by those I served, homeless, arrested, and holding the shattered pieces of a life I no longer recognized. And somehow… this lyric reached in like a lifeline:

“Oh, how He walks with me… and oh, how He talks with me… and oh, how He tells me that I am His own.”

I had lost almost everything. But He hadn’t lost me.


When the Fire Comes for You

You don’t expect the fire when you’re serving faithfully.

You don’t expect the betrayal, the eviction, the abuse, the courtrooms, the shame-filled silence. But it comes. And when it came for me, I thought I was done. I even asked God to take me to wherever my husband was but…….

Until I realized…

“No fire can burn me, no battle can turn me, no mountain can stop me… ‘Cause You hold my hand.”

Those weren’t just lyrics. That was my lifeline.

Every time I wanted to retreat and hide, every time I questioned if I could lead again—God whispered, “Denyse, I still know your name.”

He reminded me: I’m not what I lost. I’m not what I went through. I am His own.


From Shattered to Strategic

The reason I now stand as a Certified Trauma & Inner Healing Strategist is because I lived it. I didn’t just read about trauma—I walked it barefoot. And I’m not a polished product of perfection—I’m a walking, breathing testimony of triumph.

“Now I’m walking in Your victory, ‘cause Your power is within me.”

That power carried me. And now it carries others—through Clarity Catalyst™, Reclaim Your Voice™, and The Phoenix Path.

Every survivor I coach, every woman I mentor, every leader I train—I remind them:

You are not too broken. You are not too old. You are still chosen. You are still known.


Your Story Isn’t Over—You’re Just Holding the Pen Again

If you’re reading this feeling forgotten… hear me:

🌿 You are not invisible.
🔥 You are not too far gone.
🕊️ God still knows your name. And He’s holding your hand.

And I’d be honored to walk with you as you reclaim your voice, rewrite your story, and rise from the ashes.
