Once silenced and paid not to speak, Stephanie Sherwood now walks boldly in the calling God ordained all along.

In this powerful episode, Stephanie shares how the Lord took what the enemy meant for shame and turned it into Kingdom assignment. Through obedience, healing, and Holy Spirit-led courage, she helps Christian women reclaim their voice, steward their stories, and live woven into God’s greater purpose.

This conversation is a call to rise, write, and war for legacy. “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.” — Revelation 12:11 (KJV)

✨ Upcoming Project
The One Thing Book Series — a Kingdom movement turning testimonies into legacy and nonprofit impact.

Step into the world of Tabitha Leapheart, founder of Adelphi Production, as she shares how faith fuels her artistry.

From writing Dream Catcher Journal ( https://a.co/d/iWyJ9F6 ) to producing gospel stage plays like Beauty For Ashes at the Gem Theatre, Tabitha empowers women and glorifies God through creativity.

Join us as she declares, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13), showing how theatre, writing, and conferences can ignite hope, inspire courage, and amplify God’s Kingdom. Bold faith. Bold art. Bold life.

Get ready, daughters of the King...this episode is HOLY FIRE. 🔥

Today on Christian Authors with Marilyn Jeanne Designs, Gina sits down with the powerhouse herself: Elaine Lankford...CEO of She Steps Forward Coaching, Founder & Executive Director of She Steps Forward International, wife, mother, leader, and soon-to-be published author shaking the Kingdom in all the best ways.

Elaine is a woman who doesn’t just walk in her calling...she charges forward in it. In this conversation, she breaks down how she equips Christian women to rise up, silence the lies, crush fear, and boldly step into the purpose God has placed on their lives. No fluff. No pretending. Just raw, Spirit-filled truth.

We talk calling. We talk courage. We talk obedience. We talk about what it really looks like to carry the mantle God hands you...especially when it feels heavy.

We also dive into her upcoming women’s conference that’s about to ignite faith, activate destiny, and create a room full of women who refuse to shrink back. You’re going to want a ticket. Trust us.

Because as Scripture reminds us:
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7 KJV

Sis, step forward. The Kingdom needs you.
