Watch Me Rise

Helping children and families move from trauma to triumph.

"Trent is a leader for your generation. He has taken his terrible start in life and hard-fought victory and stepped forth in courage. That takes a lot of guts, to say the least. I have seen Trent speak on numerous occasions and watched the growth of his ministry and his commitment to it. He’s the real deal."

Jodi Jackson Tucker
CAFO International Director for Orphan Sunday 

"Trent Taylor is the real deal. He is articulate, introspective, motivational and empathetic. We invited Trent to travel to Arkansas to speak to a group of teenagers who are in foster care waiting to be adopted. It was incredible to see how our teens responded to Trent's testimony and how they loved hearing from someone who actually 'gets' what they've been through and where they are. We loved having Trent as our keynote speaker and would love to have him speak again."

Christie Erwin
Founder and Executive Director of Project Zero 

"Scripture tells of several people who had difficult beginnings – Moses, Joseph, and Esther to name a few. They didn’t change the world despite their circumstances - they changed it largely because of their circumstances. Trent Taylor has taken his pain and uses it to change things for others. He has a story that needs to be told and he tells it well."

Jason Weber
CAFO National Director of Foster Care Initiatives and Host of the Foster Movement Podcast

"Trent's story is truly a testimony of God's protection, love and grace. His words have shown my forever family that no matter what has happened in the past, God is always there guiding and healing."

Valerie Robbins

“Arkansas was honored to have Trent travel to Arkansas to share his story of triumph with youth in Arkansas foster care system. The impact that Trent had on our youth was profound. You could feel the room change from a gloomy, sad room to one that was ready to overcome. I will never be able to say THANK YOU to Trent enough for sharing his wisdom."

Tiffany Wright
Program Administrator of Foster Care and Adoption for the State of Arkansas 

"Trent has inspired me to overcome my past trauma by directing me to God each and every step of the way. His story provides hope for those who have stories similar to his. He has shown us that God can heal us and help us use our past for good"

Former Foster Youth 

"How openly Trent shares his story, and the abuses he has triumphed over has inspired many- including myself and my kids. My kids, who have similar backgrounds, have benefited immensely from hearing his story and have gained strength to begin sharing their own stories more openly. As a mom, Trent's story gives me insight into the hearts and minds of my kids which they are not always able to give me themselves. Trent and his bravery are such a blessing to all who know him and/or have had the pleasure of hearing him share from his heart."

Being involved with Watch Me Rise is like a breath of fresh air. It's helped us create a strong foundation of people to support us on our journey and presented us the opportunity to make friends with people who remind us that we are not alone!

Joining the support group has been the single greatest thing we have done in our journey to become foster and adoptive parents. We feel so much more prepared to help the children who come through our home because of the support and education we have received.

Becoming a part of Watch Me Rise has been key to feeling like we are not alone on this path we are all on. While helping you and your family, you realize that you have become a part of an even bigger family.

It has been my privilege to hear Trent and Pam speak on a couple of occasions, and they are truly dynamic presenters! Trent’s autobiographical message, which he delivers articulately and with compassion, is humbling. This young man, who has experienced more pain than anyone should ever experience, is committed to helping other children and teens heal from the trauma of being victims of circumstances over which they had no control. Trent’s mission is to provide each with hope by sharing his journey and understanding as they too learn to overcome their trauma. I encourage you to invite Watch Me Rise to speak to your church or organization; you will be inspired by them. To learn more about Trent’s personal story, please read the book he and his mom co-authored, Shattered No More.

If all that WMR is had to summed up in one word, that word would be support. All facets of my child's needs are supported, be it emotional, educational, or behavioral. The monthly support groups are a must for the parents and the kids! It is so amazing to see my son grow and learn about his journey to forever. For my husband and I, the opportunity to engage with other parents and talk about the issues so unique to raising a child born to another woman is empowering and uplifting every month
