Description

“And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever.” —John 14:16

Worry and fear. Grief and pain. Life is full of the unexpected and overwhelming. In the middle of suffering, it seems natural to question God's goodness and presence with us. 

Xochitl Dixon knows the feeling. In Sacred Strides, she shares vulnerable stories of how the Holy Spirit has been her guide through chronic pain and the unexpected seasons of life—and she teaches and encourages you to let Him do the same for you. 

Learn how to hear the Spirit’s guiding voice in your day-to-day life, depend solely on Him, and access the incomparable power He gives. Through strong biblical truth and heart-refreshing Scripture-based prayers, Xochitl leads you to rejoice in and rely on the fullness of the one true God. She affirms that all God’s people can keep in step with the Spirit courageously and confidently, one sacred step at a time.

This is the perfect book for someone going through a difficult season in life. The true life examples, paired with appropriate Scripture, gives the reader hope that is more than just “feel good” platitudes. The author acknowledges that the Christian life isn’t a Cinderella story. It’s often filled with challenges, hardships, and disappointments. God will walk beside us every sacred step of the way and bring joy, even in the midst of life’s challenges. Real, relatable, hope-filled.

A devotional journey that blends Scripture, testimony, and prayer into a guide for living in step with the Spirit. Across thirty-one chapters, Xochitl explores themes of surrender, identity, healing, and perseverance. Beginning with her own health struggles and moments of weakness, she demonstrates how God’s Spirit transforms pain into prayer and ordinary ground into holy ground. Each chapter follows a rhythm—Scripture meditation, story, prayer, and a practical challenge—inviting readers to inhale truth, exhale prayer, and take a “sacred stride” in obedience. The book emphasizes that both suffering and joy, work and rest, weakness and strength become sacred when lived in reliance on the Spirit. Vulnerable, accessible, and Scripture-anchored, Sacred Strides offers encouragement for believers seeking to experience God’s presence in daily life and assurance that walking with Him is always possible, one sacred step at a time.
