Believer | Podcast Host | Founder of the GOD Says So Shop | Christian Mentor | Speaker | Author
Donna creates Scripture-rooted resources and products to encourage believers to stay rooted in God’s Word and put their faith in motion, because His Word has the power to transform hearts, renew minds, and change lives.
Through Faith-Inspired Living, Donna creates podcast episodes, teachings, resources, and mentoring experiences that help believers grow spiritually, walk by faith, and apply God’s Word to everyday life.
As the founder of the GOD Says So™ Shop, Donna’s heart is to create faith-filled products that glorify God, encourage believers to boldly wear their faith, stay grounded in His Word, and live by what God says.
With decades of experience as a business owner, creator, and Spirit-led entrepreneur, Donna understands the journey of building with God.
She knows what it’s like to walk through seasons of waiting, growth, obedience, and the sacred process of becoming.
She has experienced what it means to fully trust God—especially in the in-between. She knows the surrender required in the waiting, the courage needed to take the next step by faith, and the peace that comes from releasing the outcome to God.
Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here.
I’ve walked through seasons of success and heartbreak, clarity and confusion, surrender and restoration—waiting, growing, and becoming. And through it all, I’ve witnessed God’s grace.
I know what it’s like to walk by faith and still feel the weight of a waiting season. I know what it’s like to build something while wondering if I’m truly hearing from God. I’ve lived in that in-between space where prayers felt unanswered, and the path ahead wasn’t clear.
But I’ve also experienced firsthand how God moves in the unseen in-between—preparing, strengthening, and guiding every step.
In His perfect time, He has faithfully turned prayers into testimonies and reminded me that He was working all along.
There was a shift in my life when I chose to follow Jesus boldly—not quietly, not halfway, but with a surrendered heart and a willingness to let my faith shape how I live, speak, create, and show up.
That’s when I began to discover the love, peace, and joy that come from fully trusting Him. I learned to pray with confidence, walk with unwavering faith, and trust God’s plans and timing—even before I could see how He was working. And by His grace, I’ve been blessed with answered prayers.
My heart is to encourage believers to stay grounded in God’s Word, keep praying, and keep walking by faith—especially in those waiting seasons when they don’t yet see what God is doing.
My hope is that by sharing my journey and pointing others to Scripture, their faith will be strengthened, they’ll be rooted in truth, and they’ll grow confident in God’s faithfulness in their own lives.
