Hi, Warriors, I am so glad you are here!
My favorite letter is M because all good things in my life start with it! I am a Mom, Married to Marcellus, serve as a Ministry Leader, saved by the Messiah, and loved my time in the Military. I even love the Hebrew word Misphat, which means justice and you can bet your bottom dollar, if there is a just cause to support…you will find me there. (Especially causes protecting women and children from harm and abuse).
I also love the gift of Mercy, it is what bridges compassion to action and honors God in a tremendous way. My life has been a wild ride, to say the least, from teenage motherhood to military leadership to media maven to women’s ministry leader (both in the Church and right here)—I owe it all to God because He never left me and recklessly pursued me to be His.
I love sharing hope, emotional healing, spiritual disciplines, discovering biblical truths, teaching women about Jesus, leadership, witnessing women come to Christ, and a cup of hot coffee with cream!
I am an avid reader, I love eschatology (Armageddon anyone?), my favorite New Testament leader is Peter (I love his call to shepherd the flock), and my favorite woman from the word of God (aka Bible) is Deborah (close second is Rahab).
I am in your corner, I am here to serve you and help you grow in your faith and your understanding of who you are, who God is, and why He is better than we could ever possibly imagine.

Hello, you are welcome here! Pásenle!
I am Blanca— an undershepherd and relationship-builder by day, and introverted writer by night. But most importantly, I am a piece of clay actively being molded by the daily whispers of the Holy Spirit.
I am happily married to my husband who is the second funniest person I know (I'm the first), and the rock of our family. Our kids love the Lord and they have made that evident by showing us the grace we need as we navigate being a young family. I have been dabbling in homeschool life for about 5 years (we have the piano to prove it) and have taught anything from the ABC's to the Word of God to willing hearts. This precious time in my life grew my heart for teaching, and I found a deep love for God's truths. In discipling my children at our kitchen table, God prepared me to gather women, open our bibles and become undone! I was hooked to the dismantling of self, the freedom to know God intimately, and hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit in our midst!
My short military career has been a part of my foundation that has landed me in the adventure of co-leading the Woman & Warrior Ministry. In 2007, I remember sending a letter home that read, "I'm exactly where I need to be." God has used that enlistment and all the winds and unwinds after that for his glory. I am so very glad he chose a sinner like me to partner with him in this great work! Indeed, I am exactly where I should be and so are you!
My heart for Woman & Warrior Ministry is to see women equipped with the Word of God and pouring out his work into their families and communities. I have surrendered my life to Jesus and the women on his heart— you. I would love to walk in this journey with you and be the light of Christ where you may need it most. This journey requires a level of trust like you've never known before. You'll need gritty sisters and a sword (tattoos are no required, but this can be arranged). If you're willing to say yes to the greatest adventure of your life, we welcome you with open arms!

Lindsay uses her kidney donation story to champion organ donation and to share how God’s plan for our lives is always bigger and better than we could ever anticipate.
Lindsay is constantly growing and evolving in her faith with the Lord, and invites other warriors to join her on the journey.

Donna Renee served our country as an Air Force officer and learned how to work with people from all walks of life. It was at her first duty station that she trusted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. During that time, she earned her first Masters in Human Relations.
Because she grew up in a military family, she got the traveler bug and has traveled throughout the Pacific Rim and throughout the United States doing many things for many people. She wanted to know the Bible for herself and ended up at Dallas Theological Seminary, earning her second Master’s degree in Theology. She is a writer– it's what she's wanted to do since she was a little girl.
Donna Renee is now retired and continues her writing, as well as teaching within the Woman and Warrior Ministry.
