It’s time for our Summer Break Special Episode Series! All four weeks will feature the winners of the “Holy Plot Twists” book Contest🏆🏆🏆🏆Each week, a winner will interview me, asking questions from my story found at the beginning of the book. Then they will share insights they received from their time in the journal section of the book. These conversations have been powerful and encouraging. This week, I speak with Dawn Ward, who is a speaker, writer, and Bible teacher. She is the founder of The Faith to Flourish, a ministry equipping women to live transformed lives through inspiring teaching, mentoring, and biblical resources. The ministry also offers support and encouragement to women with addicted loved ones. She is married to Steve and mom to three adult children. Her book, From Guilt to Grace: Hope and Healing for Christian Moms of Addicted Children, published in September 2024, is available for order

This week I speak with Melony Brown, who is a Jeep-loving, book-reading, nature enthusiast. Chocolate is not her friend. Neither is laundry. Inviting overcomers to share their stories and the strategies, mindsets, and habits they relied on during their fight to overcome their challenges is her passion. Melony shares their stories on her podcast, Challenges Won’t Stop Me. Her award-winning books, Challenges Won’t Stop Me and Keep Moving Forward, take readers on an interactive journey to equip and empower them to fight to overcome whatever challenges dare to intersect their paths. We look at her childhood up to the present to find the beautiful thread of Jesus in her life. You won't want to miss this inspiring episode!

By sharing practical insights and fostering community, Rose empowers women to embrace a meaningful, life-giving relationship with God—one that refreshes their spirit and fuels their everyday journey.
