111: His Promises Are True: everything falling apart didn't stop her with Danita Cummins

Today’s guest is Danita Cummins. She is the author of her first book titled Promise Over Purpose: The Path to a Peace-Filled Life, which is due out in the fall of 2024. Danita is also the host of the Entrusted to Lead podcast, the director of the Alpha Life Pregnancy Center, and a business coach. She and Mark have been married for 20 years and they have four adult children and two grandchildren. In this episode, Danita describes the challenges she faced throughout her childhood, during her time in the military, and when she became pregnant unexpectedly. An invitation to see The Passion of the Christ, a movie about the twelve hours before Jesus Christ’s death, became a turning point in her life. Seeing all that Jesus did for her confirmed that His promises are true.  Danita’s heart for those who feel alone led her to volunteer at the Alpha Pregnancy Center. Now as director, she continues to find joy and purpose when working with women who are making pregnancy decisions.  Notable quotes from this episode with Danita Cummins:  ·         “There was an extended period of time where alcohol was a daily part of my life . . . It’s pretty easy to do in the military culture and then also with my family background. It was something I was more prone to.” ·         “Sometimes you have to go back into the darkness to see the light was always there.” ·         “Sometimes, we think that miracles are really big, and they are . . . but in my life, a miracle was a seven-dollar movie ticket that changed the course of human history.” ·         “How can you let all of God live through all of you?” ·         “I needed to know in my soul that the promises were true. My soul and my heart were searching for a truth and a promise that I could hold onto because every single thing in my life was, in my mind, falling apart.”   Bible verse:  ·         Jeremiah 31:3 “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.”   Connect with Danita Cummins: Her website: https://danitacummins.com On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/danitacummins  On Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/danita_cummins Send me a COMMENT or QUESTION!
