As we embrace the warmth of summer, we’re also celebrating the fire of faith, freedom, and forward movement. This issue is packed with powerful stories of transformation, restoration, and rising—testimonies that remind us that God is still in the business of making all things new.
Our cover story features the incredible Edwina Findley Dickerson, a woman of grace, purpose, and undeniable talent. Her journey of navigating Hollywood while holding fast to her faith is a powerful testimony for anyone called to stand for Christ in difficult places. Her wisdom will stay with you long after you turn the page.
You’ll also meet our WOWderful Woman, Kimberly Speights, whose bold transparency and passion for community transformation are nothing short of inspiring. Her story from trauma to triumph reminds us that no pit is too deep for God’s redemptive reach.
This issue also brings insight and encouragement from contributors like Dr. Dwan Abrams on spiritual freedom, Marlena Daniel on living inside the very life you once prayed for, Dr. B.J. Relefourd on healing through small victories, and Tamara DeBose on finding freedom in singleness and widowhood. Plus, we explore everything from healthy, native herbs in the kitchen with Chef Sandi Morais to faith-based family restoration and real conversations about faith and identity.
We pray that you are blessed by this publication. Every story is a seed planted with intention, and we hope it blooms in your life in ways only God can orchestrate.
If you—or someone you know—have a testimony, a ministry, a business, or a journey that will encourage others, reach out. We’re always looking to feature WOWderful Women and Men who are making a kingdom impact.
Thank you for taking this journey with us. May every page draw you closer to your calling, your purpose, and your Savior.
