Faith Over Fear: How She Found Her Confidence – Rising Phoenix Spotlight – Me Ra Koh
Have you ever found yourself in a season where you’re doing all the right things, yet still wondering if you’re truly walking in your purpose? At some point, most of us do. For Kyler, however, that inner tension didn’t lead to defeat—it became the catalyst for something new. In one quiet, defining moment, as her heart wrestled with questions of calling and worth, she opened her Bible App and read the words that stopped her in her tracks:
“Just follow Me. Just rest.”
That moment wasn’t merely a verse; rather, it was God speaking directly to her soul. From that point forward, she began the journey of how she found her confidence—not through striving harder, but by surrendering deeper.
Her 2025-word, Bright Star, came to her through tears. A sign to shine—not for approval or perfection, but because she’s already lit with purpose. That inner fire became the beginning of her transformation.
Displayed in Kyler’s home office is a powerful collection: her Rising Phoenix wall art. But it’s more than just a piece of décor. It’s a visual declaration of everything she’s becoming and called to.
“She doesn’t give herself enough credit,” her husband says. “I hope that over the next several months, there is something extra in her step.”
“She is beautiful,” her mom reminds her. “She’s got this!!!”
“Her strength—absolute strength,” her dad says. “If you’ve got strength, you’ve got everything.”
This wall art reflects the woman her family sees: radiant, loyal, strong, and rising.
“Wonder woman. She’s a woman and she’s very strong.” her son, Brayd adds.
Therefore, this woman is not only a product of her past or a dream of her future—she is fully alive in her present. Each day, she becomes a living reminder of how she found her confidence and just how far God is leading her.
When asked what she sees rising in herself now, Kyler didn’t hesitate. Three powerful truths are shaping her journey—breakthrough, shining bright, and confidence—each one a step in discovering how she found her confidence.
Breakthrough – Kyler describes this season as being ripe for breakthrough.
“I have such a story,” she says. Her dad once told her she would write a book. Wes echoed it too, especially after all they’ve overcome together.
God is tilling the ground of her heart—and in that sacred space, she’s starting to rise.
Shining Bright – Even while still uncovering her spiritual gifts, Kyler feels the tug to pour into others.
“I need help with what my gifts and purpose are,” she shares honestly. Kyler is pressing in faithfully, knowing that she is closer than ever to finding that clear direction.
But what’s already shining is her ability to reflect God’s love—through encouragement, authenticity, and presence.
Confidence – Her confidence didn’t come all at once. It’s been years in the making.
Kyler helps others find their confidence too—like when she stood with her daughter’s friend in the kitchen and said:
“I’ve been there. I’ve done all the things. When you finally release it, give it to God, and find what works for you—your journey…”
In that moment, something clicked. Her eyes were bright. Her body language lit up.
“You can do it! You are going to get through it and feel so happy when you get to the other side!”
It’s one distinct example that stands out, that’s how she found her confidence—by helping others rise through their own.
We notice that once people officially book their Rising Phoenix Experience, MORE revelation begins to come! A week before her Rising Phoenix, Kyler experienced a flood of spiritual insight. Words like shine, follow Me, restoration, redemption, and breakthrough began surfacing repeatedly in her spirit.
As her heart grew more attuned to God’s voice, she began sensing butterflies—the unmistakable nudge of God guiding her steps. For instance, one powerful Bible study moment confirmed this divine prompting:
“One girl started crying and said everything I was saying was what God had already been whispering to her.”
In response, Kyler’s father affirmed what she’s experiencing, telling her:
“I believe you’re one of His chosen messengers. You’ve made room for God, and now He’s opening doors.”
Consequently, Kyler’s heart is now overflowing with purpose. She’s journaling more, feeling deeply connected to God, and embracing a renewed calling to share her life—through books, podcasts, and video.
Moreover, these encounters are not isolated. Several women have congratulated her, saying they can’t wait to see what God reveals through her experience. As a result, her confidence isn’t just growing—it’s multiplying.
So what changed along the way? For Kyler, the turning point didn’t arrive with a shout, but with a quiet, consistent “yes.”
“Keep moving. You’ve got it. Be where your feet are,” she tells herself.
It wasn’t a single moment, but rather a sequence of sacred steps—each one guided by obedience and faith. Through journaling her heart, receiving intentional mentoring, embracing quiet moments of rest, whispering prayers in stillness, and continually saying “yes” to God’s gentle nudges—even when the direction wasn’t fully clear—Kyler’s path began to take shape.
“Redemption is God choosing us,” she says.
“Restoration is us continually choosing God.”
That’s how she found her confidence—not in clarity, but in obedience.
As Kyler continues to rise, the light around her expands with each step. Her family recognizes it. Her kids are inspired by it. And together, they are witnessing a transformation that is reshaping everything.
Wes describes her as “TRUE, LOYAL and FAITHFUL.”
Her mom reflects, “She gives it everything she’s got.”
Jadin, with a grin, says, “She has 52 super powers!”
Brayd proudly adds, “My mom speaks actions into life.”
In fact, their words reflect what God is showing Kyler in this season: She is already enough, already chosen, already powerful. Sometimes, the only thing left is to believe it for herself.
Because of that, she found her confidence.
Kyler’s journey isn’t over. In many ways, it’s just beginning.
“I feel that God wants me to share my Rising Phoenix,” she says. “So I’m going to do my best to video as much as I can and share it with others on Instagram.”
She’s dreaming of books. Podcasts. Speaking life into women and families. And she knows the fuel for it all will come from the same place: faith.
Today, her journals are overflowing with revelation. At the same time, her voice is rising with boldness. What once flickered quietly has now become an undeniable blaze—illuminating her path, igniting her purpose, and calling others to rise with her.
Because when a woman chooses to rise—and anchors that decision in God’s strength—she steps into a future without limits, fueled by divine purpose and unwavering confidence.
This is more than her moment. It’s a movement. A message to every woman watching:
Above all, you can rise, too. You can trust God with your story. And like Kyler, you can discover how you found your confidence—one faithful step at a time.
As a result, Kyler’s story reminds us that confidence isn’t always born from clarity, but from the quiet courage of surrender. With each intentional step—rooted in faith and obedience—her confidence took root and began to grow.
So if you’ve been asking questions like: Am I enough? Is it too late? What if I’m missing it?
Then let her story be the spark that lights your next step. Furthermore, allow her journey to become your encouragement. And ultimately, let her fire—born of faith and obedience—ignite something powerful in you.
