HI. I'm Hannah Fordice. 

I'm a northern MN girl that grew up sword fighting with sticks in the woods and tagging along with my older brothers on their adventures. That hunger to be in the wild outdoors never left me and I still find the most peace when I am sitting in the dirt. I think it should also be noted that if I were a little more unstable I would probably be a dog hoarder. Important information. 

I have an insatiable curiosity about people and a passion for justice; so naturally I thought, I should get a degree in those things. And I did. I have a BA in Psychology + a MA in Human Services Forensic Behavioral Health (I know, what a mouthful!) In 2021, I started House of Faith and Freedom which offers unique, faith-based training that empowers individuals, ministries, and churches to address intimate partner violence and support survivors throughout the healing process. You can find out more at Houseoffaithandfreedom.org

In college I met the love of my life. We got married three weeks after I graduated and had a honeymoon baby- our German Shepherd, Valkyrie. She insisted we adopt a sibling for her and that's how we got our cat, Animal (yes, that is actually his name). And then our other cat, Winston. And then our other dog, Propeller.

Our very comfortable world came to wrenching halt In February of 2017 when my dad was killed in a house fire, I miscarried our first [human] child, and my mother-in-law was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and subsequently passed away in October of 2017.

This world is uncertain and we are never guaranteed more time. In the rubble of our circumstances we find ourselves in need of a rescue. And God is faithful. I cannot fix your rubble or tell you how to get out of it. But I can extend a warm and tender hand. I can tell you that it might not be today, tomorrow, or next year but as you let in hope, let in Jesus, rescue will surely follow. 

It is not an accident that "Rubble & Rescue" is shortened to R&R. You know, like "Rest & Respite". Because that is what I dearly hope this place becomes for you in the midst of your messy life and rubble filled moments. A place to rest.
