OUR MISSION
Walking in Faith, One Step at a Time
Faith is a journey. It is a journey filled with moments of joy, uncertainty, challenges, growth, and transformation.
At Growing Testimony LLC, we believe that every experience has the potential to become part of a greater testimony. The moments that challenge us can also shape us, strengthen us, and draw us closer to God.
Our mission is to encourage individuals to embrace their stories, grow through their experiences, and discover the strength that comes from walking in faith.
Through life coaching, devotionals, storytelling, encouragement, and faith-centered resources, Growing Testimony creates a space where people can reflect on where they have been, recognize where they are, and move forward with purpose.
Your story matters. Your journey matters. Your testimony can help someone else keep going.
MY TESTIMONY
My name is Brianna Manning, and I am the founder of Growing Testimony LLC.
I was born and raised in Texas, and my journey has been shaped by faith, adversity, growth, and the experiences that have taught me that our hardest seasons do not have to define us.
I graduated from Midwestern State University with a B.S. in Psychology, a minor in Sociology, and a M.A. in Clinical Mental Health. During my time at Midwestern State, I was also a student-athlete, playing soccer and running track.
When Sports Were My Everything
Sports have been a major part of my life since I was four years old.
As a child, athletics gave me confidence, discipline, purpose, and an outlet when life became difficult. Soccer, especially, became one of the ways I learned to cope with challenges.
Then, in an instant, everything changed.
While playing one night, I tore three ligaments in my knee. Following the injury, I was told that I would never play the same way again.
For someone whose identity had been deeply connected to being an athlete, that news was devastating.
I didn’t have another coping skill to help me process what I was experiencing. I struggled with anger, sadness, and depression. At the time, I didn’t fully understand what I was going through or recognize that I was grieving the loss of a version of my life that I had known for years.
I eventually learned that grief can take many forms.
Sometimes we grieve people.
Sometimes we grieve relationships.
Sometimes we grieve dreams, identities, opportunities, or the person we thought we would become.
But that season taught me something important:
Growth requires change.
Although my life as an athlete would never be exactly the same, I began to discover that my story wasn’t over. God was simply leading me into a different chapter.
TURNING MY EXPERIENCES INTO PURPOSE
My experiences have given me a heart for helping others navigate their own challenges.
Professionally, I have worked exclusively with Autistic children as a Registered Behavioral Therapist, helping decrease maladaptive behaviors while increasing communication and developing meaningful skills.
I have also worked in a children’s home, where my mission was to support young lives and their families by providing tools, encouragement, structure, and guidance.
Those experiences taught me the importance of meeting people where they are.
Everyone’s journey looks different.
Everyone carries something.
And sometimes, people don’t need someone to have all the answers—they need someone willing to walk beside them.
That is one of the things I hope to provide through Growing Testimony.
LIFE COACHING WITH PURPOSE
As a Life Coach, my goal is to help clients become mentally and emotionally stronger while navigating life’s challenges.
I want my clients to know that they don’t have to walk through difficult seasons alone.
Together, we can identify obstacles, develop practical tools, create goals, build confidence, and work toward becoming the person you are called to be.
My approach is rooted in encouragement, personal growth, accountability, reflection, and faith.
I don’t believe your past has to determine your future.
Your story can become a source of strength.
Your struggles can become lessons.
And your testimony can become an encouragement to someone else.
EVERYONE HAS A STORY
One of my favorite quotes is:
“God puts His strongest of soldiers in the toughest of wars.”
That quote reminds me that difficult seasons can produce strength, perseverance, and purpose.
I have a passion for helping people recognize the value in their own stories.
You may look at your experiences and only see the pain.
Someone else may look at your story and find hope.
You may think your testimony isn’t significant.
Someone else may need to hear it to realize they aren’t alone.
Everyone has a story.
At Growing Testimony, I want to help you discover how your experiences can contribute to your growth and success in life.
I strive to be the best version of myself while encouraging others to do the same.
COACHING & ENCOURAGEMENT THROUGH REAL-LIFE EXPERIENCES
At Growing Testimony LLC, we believe real-life experiences can offer profound wisdom.
Through life coaching, devotionals, blog content, testimony and story work, and faith-centered encouragement, we create opportunities for individuals to reflect, grow, and move forward.
Our goal is not simply to tell stories.
It is to help people find meaning in their stories.
Whether you are navigating a difficult transition, working through a season of uncertainty, pursuing personal growth, or simply looking for encouragement, Growing Testimony is here to remind you:
You are still growing.
You are still becoming.
And your story is still being written.
