HARD-FOUGHT LOVE
THE LHVE STORY
What does love look like?
For us, it’s more than a feeling… it’s a hard-fought commitment to do the hard work to get to the heart work.
Our name tells a story. The “H” stands for Hard-Fought Love, the kind that doesn’t give up. We face the triggers, the tension, the tired moments… so we can step into the heart work: connection, healing, and lasting change. The “Co” stands for Community, because real healing happens when we walk alongside one another.
At The LHVE Co, we design modern, faith-rooted apparel that reflects hard-fought resilience, gospel-anchored hope, and healing for those called to care for vulnerable children.
But what we wear is only part of the story.
Hard-Fought Love isn’t just a message, it’s a practice. That’s why we do more than create apparel. We equip and strengthen families, marriages, and communities through attachment- and trauma-competent care. The gospel is at the center of everything we do. Through parent coaching, marriage support, and trauma-informed training, we help families build connection that lasts.
MEET OUR
FOUNDERS
When Josh and Emily began their foster care journey, they couldn’t have imagined how deeply it would shape their lives. Now, as parents of three, including two children they’ve adopted through the foster care system, they’ve experienced firsthand what it means to fight for a better way.
Out of that story came The LHVE Co, built on the belief that love is more than a feeling; it’s a hard-fought commitment. Through the struggle and hard work within their own family and marriage, they discovered healing, strength, and connectedness on the other side. Now they exist to share those same tools with families, leaders, and communities.
And when they’re not working, you might find them camping at the race track, cheering on their favorite IndyCar drivers, or simply spending time as a family. Everything they do is grounded in their faith and a desire to reflect the love and compassion of Jesus in all they do.
