Our Story

Katie & Chelsea met in December 2021 and quickly became best friends, by the leading of the Lord. Chelsea had already been handmaking stickers on Etsy since 2016. Katie had a few businesses of her own over the years and was a talented designer but felt to stop selling her art under the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Shortly after becoming close friends, Katie gave Chelsea some of her old designs so Chelsea could use them to sell on Etsy. But the Lord began speaking and revealed to Chelsea that all profits from Katie's designs would be split with her 50/50. None of Katie's old designs actually made it on Chelsea's Etsy shop because the Lord told Chelsea to shut it down... He had something better planned (which was yet to be revealed). 

Over the next few months, Katie and Chelsea were on Isaiah Saldivar's deliverance map (which is how Katie and Chelsea met). They formed a ministry together, agreeing to always be led by the Holy Spirit. The Lord put it on Katie's heart to start designing again and that they would be making stickers and selling them together!

The Month That Changed Everything

Chelsea joined Core Group (a mentorship program by Jenny Weaver) in April 2022 after Katie paid for Chelsea's first month (Chelsea was being stubborn and didn't even want to join). But Katie pressed through and sent her the $20 and Chelsea joined on April 13th. She will never forget the day because that is when things began to shift and the Lord began to speak.

On April 20, Chelsea was her in kitchen and the Lord began to say that all stickers must be made by their own hands because everything else would be tainted. While praying in the Spirit together, Chelsea had a vision of their stickers being lifted in the air with the wind (Holy Spirit) and she felt God say "now they are anointed and the Spirit will take them up." They knew that these stickers were a form of worship and that they must make them in Spirit and in truth. 

On April 21, Chelsea made a group chat with anyone and everyone she thought would love to be apart of Core Group because this move of God was changing her life and she wanted it to be an impact for others too. Shortly after, a dozen people she knew joined the Core Group too. 

On April 22, Katie was getting "downloads" from the Lord for designs. That same day, Katie got a word from God they would be selling for the Core Group. The Spirit was revealing that they would somehow be involved with what Jenny was doing. 

During this same time and month, God was pressing into Chelsea a name for the ministry; He kept repeating "Rise Up Warrior, Rise Up Warrior, Rise Up Warrior." Chelsea even had a vision of what the logo would look like. 

Pressing into God

On May 3, after watching the Breaking Wrong Alignments teaching from the Core Group, Chelsea wrote in her journal... "I can now rightly define my relationship with Katie as a godly alignment, that 2 are better than 1 and that we are knitted together as Johnathan and David were. I didn't choose my best friend, the Lord did. And everything we do, we do as a team because that's how the Lord would have it and we're obedient to Him."

On May 4, Katie and Chelsea were praying in the Spirit together and Katie heard "things have been shifted, I'm refining you like gold."

During the May 4th Core Group prayer, Chelsea had a vision: "I saw Jenny's hand pulling another (or possibly all of us) out of deep sorrow and torment. Her hand was positioned on the left above the other hand positioned down on the right."

We spent the next month getting our house in order, designing and preparing for what was to come...

On June 5, they had their first Core Group meetup at Chelsea's house. At this meetup, they revealed to the women God's plan for their stickers; He wanted them to send Jenny a box of their stickers and let her decide what they were to do next. Everyone prayed over the box and they sent it on its' way.

Jenny received the box and told them "people are going to want these" and they needed to make a website asap and that this was their "Amos 9:13 season" (interestingly enough, Chelsea wore her Amos 9:13 shirt the day they prayed over the box of stickers). 

On June 9, a ministry was born called Rise Up Warrior. It is a ministry that is the Lord's and everything we do must glorify Him. All ideas and direction are given from the Holy Spirit; we let Him lead us into what is next. Our products are anointed and prophetic; many of these ideas are either visions or from Core Group teachings. Our hope is that these products will be a conversation starter and a way to share your faith to reach the lost and win them over for Jesus. Although our ministry is still rather new, the Lord is revealing more and more every week (some things we can't reveal to you yet!) about what is to come. We can say with confidence... this is only the beginning.
