author. speaker.
retreat director.
honorary friend.
I'm an author, blogger, podcast host, and speaker. I grew up near New Orleans, Louisiana, in a suburban town called Mandeville. In 2018 I graduated from Baylor University with a degree in journalism. I currently reside in Atlanta, Georgia, where I enjoy going on runs and eating lots of sushi.
Hi! I'm Grace Valentine and I'm happy you're here.
I am just a girl who loves Criminal Minds a little too much. On Saturdays you can find me at the farmers market or sleeping in a little too long. I've learned many lessons the hard way, laugh a little too loud, but try to embrace each day and the life God has given me. It is an honor to connect with you. Thank you for loving me and my hot mess self.
xoxo,
Grace's newest book
The Better Friend
Tired of one-sided friendships that still leave you feeling lonely? Make the shift to life-giving friendships.
“Grace Valentine teaches us how to nurture the meaningful, healthy friendships we all long for and deserve.”
—Ashley Morgan Jackson
When you build better friends—with people who help you become the best version of yourself in every way—you become better, get to know God better, and experience confidence in who He made you to be. As you do, you’ll discover the joy that comes from being a blessing to others and shining the love of Christ to those around you. Whether you’re ready to level up your current friendships or start fresh, The Better Friend gives you the tools you need to build life-giving connections for any season.

Grace desired a space where she could be honest and talk to you like a best friend, which is what she aims for with every fun & informal episode.
Grace hopes this can be a low-stress, easy listen when you're driving, and a place where you can drink your drinky drink, talk about crazy ex-friends, church hurt, and your classic boy stories (sry she has hormones).
Water Into Wine is your new favorite hangout podcast, hosted by Grace Valentine.
