About Us

We are Tracy Shaw and Gene Rodman.

We are passionate—
about God,
about our family,
about our natural world,
and about photographing it.

You’ll see our photographs woven throughout this site.

We are a couple who have experienced loss and confusion.

We questioned everything—
about our world,
about ourselves,
about God.

We were hungry for truth and answers.

We learned.
We explored.
We tried.
We walked.
We stumbled.
We lost more.
We were humbled.
Then…
we found.

About This Association

Like many people we moved through life carrying identities, burdens, and expectations placed upon us by ourselves or others, 
rather than received from God.

We found ourselves constantly searching for—
understanding, truth, and justice.

Over time, we came to understand that what was needed
was not more information, strategies, or remedies,
but a return to our roots—remembering who we are
and rebuilding our relationship with God through trust.

The Rodman–Shaw Private Estates Association 
is the first creative endeavor from this trust,
created to hold a private space
for sharing these lessons with others, through ~

~ restoration of identity before instruction
~ relationship before responsibility
~ truth before action.

This Association does not tell you who you are.
It exists to help you remove what does not belong,
so what is true may be restored.

It is for those who wish to become aware of, understand, and steward what God has entrusted to them—without pressure, performance, or expectation.

What God has entrusted to us we call an estate.

This estate includes~

life and breath,
conscience and capacity,
relationships and responsibilities,
time, talents, calling and more.

This estate exists whether or not you possess money, land, or assets. Those with little—or nothing—by worldly measure are not excluded. Often, they are the ones most ready to receive what matters most.

This Association exists to serve those who are willing to listen, reflect,
and walk at their own pace.

Our role is not to rescue,
but to create a safe space,
share what we have learned,
offer help where we can,
and step back when needed.

About These Lessons

The lessons shared on this site are reflections from our experiences.
They grew from a journey of trust with God that was never just about us—but for all walking a similar path and longing for truth, healing, and a deeper relationship with God.

Nothing here is designed to impress.
Nothing is designed to persuade.
Nothing is offered for profit, influence, or gain.

What is shared here is offered freely,
as it was received.

There are~

no required fees,
no subscriptions,
no promises of outcome,
no pressure to continue,
no manipulation.

We do not share or sell your information.
We do not sell transformation.
We do not define success.
We trust God to do the work.

These lessons follow a deliberate and protective order~

~ Restoration and Healing

We begin by creating space for healing, clarity, and peace. No instruction is effective until the heart and nerves are settled.

~ Recovery of True Identity

We explore identity rooted in conscience and relationship with God, rather than labels imposed by the world.

~ Stewardship of Life, Family, and Estate

Only after restoration and identity are addressed do we consider stewardship—how one lives faithfully with what has been entrusted.

~ Fellowship and Living Practice

Learning is meant to be lived, not merely understood. Fellowship supports faithful living without pressure.

~ Optional Administrative Education

Some may later choose to explore practical or administrative topics related to stewardship if they desire.
