My testimony and mission
Hi, my name is Autumn, and I’m the woman God placed behind this ministry. I've been a Christian for much of my life. I started going to church around the age of twelve with my grandpa, eventually got saved, and for years I was very involved. Sunday mornings, Sunday nights, Wednesdays. Church was a regular part of my life.
Even then, I was not really reading my Bible for myself. I showed up. I listened. I went because it was expected. Sometimes because I wanted to, sometimes because I felt like I had to. My faith existed, but it was not deeply rooted.
When I moved out on my own, I slowly fell away. I stopped going to church. I stopped opening my Bible altogether. I was still saved, but I was not submitted, and I was not growing.
Later on, I became very involved in BookTok. I was reading dark books and content I knew was not honoring God, and I was creating TikToks around them. My platform was growing quickly, and on the outside it looked successful. But on the inside, I began to feel deeply convicted.
Eventually, I took all of those videos down and walked away from that content entirely. I shifted my platform to Christian content, talking about the Bible, faith, and Jesus. That change pushed me even deeper into reading Scripture for myself, not just talking about faith, but actually living it.
During my second pregnancy, everything began to shift more intentionally. I made the decision not just to believe, but to fully surrender. I set a simple goal to read the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation, no matter how long it took. No pressure. No timeline. Just consistency.
I am still working through that goal today, but reading Scripture for myself has completely changed my relationship with God. There were so many things in the Bible I never knew were there until I opened it on my own. Things I would have never fully understood just from sermons or messages. My faith grew deeper, my understanding grew stronger, and my relationship with God became more personal than it had ever been.
As my faith grew, I felt a pull to do more. I stepped into what I thought was a Christian boutique, but after walking through discouragement and difficult experiences, I realized that was not the direction God was calling me to continue in. Instead, He was gently redirecting me toward ministry.
That redirection is why Wholly Made exists today.
You may still see references to Wholly Made Boutique, because that was part of the journey. But Wholly Made was never meant to be about products. It was meant to be about purpose. The name reflects the truth that we are made whole and set apart through God and His Word.
Wholly Made exists to encourage women to open their Bibles, engage Scripture for themselves, and grow a faith that is rooted in truth. This ministry is about consistency over perfection, faithfulness over feelings, and continuing in the Word even when it feels hard.
