    Debbie is the founder of Focused on Real Life Ministries as she has found that “real life comes by feeding on every word of the Lord.” Deut 8:3 NLT
    In 1989, Debbie was a minister’s wife who lost focus on what her life was all about. Because of that, she found herself in clinical depression, almost leading to suicide. She was a woman who, in desperation, reached up to a God of grace who reached back. Through much pain and the humiliation of being hospitalized for 3 ½ weeks, God began to bring her new life, real life. In a time of soul-searching, she learned what it meant to be “real” as she was forced to face the truth about herself, God, and her relationship with others. Her prayer at that time was Psalm 142:7, “Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name.”
    Debbie is a miracle of God’s grace and mercy! As an author and speaker, she is called to challenge others toward freedom and wholeness in Jesus Christ! She believes strongly there is no person or situation beyond God’s awesome abilities!
    Debbie and her husband have been in pastoral ministry since 1983. She currently travels to various events, encouraging and exhorting others through inspirational speaking. She has served in the Assemblies of God as a Women’s Ministries Representative as well as a Missionettes Representative. She has also been active in children’s, youth, music, juvenile and prison ministries; as well as teaching and pastoral counseling.
    Debbie has been married to Bob since 1982 and has two sons, Clay and Cody. A native of Cleveland, Ohio, she now resides in Indianapolis, IN, serving as home base for her ministry.
