This is the story of Debbie, a woman whose journey through infertility, loss, and adoption is a testament to the strength found in trusting a higher purpose.

Debbie’s story is not just about overcoming adversity; it’s about embracing the unknown with open arms. From the heart-wrenching loss of her children to the joy of adopting nine, her path is a vivid illustration of how faith can transform despair into hope. As she shares her experiences, Debbie reveals the profound impact of trusting in something greater than oneself.

Throughout her journey, Debbie learned that asking “Why me?” was less important than asking “How do I survive?” This shift in perspective allowed her to focus on the next best step, guided by faith. Her story encourages us to let go of the need for answers and trust the process, knowing that each step forward is a step towards healing and growth.

Debbie’s resilience has not only shaped her life but has also inspired countless others.

By watching her story, you’ll discover how faith can be a powerful catalyst for change, not just in our own lives, but in the lives of those around us.

Debbie’s journey is a powerful reminder that faith and trust are not just abstract concepts, but tangible forces that can guide us through life’s storms. Her story is a beacon of hope for anyone facing their own challenges, showing that with faith, we can overcome even the most daunting obstacles.

Debbie Simmons is a community activist, businesswoman, wife, mother to 9 adopted children, and, most importantly, a devoted follower of Christ. Her boots-on-the-ground experience, hard-earned wisdom, and faith-centered approach will help you build your business or non-profit, family or life legacy. Her inspiring testimony of living “love without regard to risk” empowers you to boldly walk through the doors God is opening for you with no worries.

Debbie is not a coach; she is a builder. She will inspire you to build the business, family, and life legacies that you have dreamed of. Debbie will teach you how to be an Impact Player for the Kingdom both now and for eternity.

Nurturing Financial Growth Within God’s Principles

On By Naty MatosIn ThriveLeave a comment

As we approach the April 7th debut to our podcast, Thrive, we wanted to take a moment to share valuable insights that echo the essence of “Thrive” and align with our mission of fostering financial growth for families rooted in faith.

Nurturing Prosperity with Scriptural Wisdom 🌱

“The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, without painful toil for it.” (Proverbs 10:22)

In this journey toward financial well-being, we understand the importance of aligning our actions with timeless principles. Our commitment to weaving scriptural wisdom into practical advice forms the backbone of “Thrive.” Today, we’d like to share a gentle reminder on embracing abundance, inspired by God’s promise of prosperity.

Contentment and Stewardship 🙏

“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'”* (Hebrews 13:5)

True wealth lies not just in material possessions, but in the richness of contentment. On the podcast, we will explore the concept of contentment as a cornerstone for financial stewardship. Learn how finding joy in the present can be a catalyst for wise financial choices, ultimately paving the way for lasting prosperity.

Navigating Financial Challenges Together ⚓

“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2)

Financial challenges are a shared experience, and as we journey together, “Thrive” aims to create a space for communal support. We will discuss practical ways to navigate financial hurdles within the context of community, emphasizing the strength found in unity.

Stealthy Launch, Lasting Impact 🚀

While our April 7th launch date is just around the corner, we appreciate your companionship on this pre-launch journey. Subtle as it may be, each blog post serves as a stepping stone towards the meaningful conversations “Thrive” will foster. We invite you to engage, share your thoughts, and anticipate the podcast’s arrival with us.

For more thought-provoking content, stay tuned to our blog and join our community on social media. Together, let’s unlock the door to abundance, enriching our lives with financial wisdom grounded in faith.

Wishing you peace and prosperity,

The “Thrive” Team 🌿💖✨
