135 | [Guest] Faithful Leadership Starts with Obedience with Debbie Simmons


Listen Later

In this heartfelt and powerful episode, I’m joined by Debbie Simmons — author, speaker, and founder of Anchor Point, a Christ-centered organization empowering families through education, pregnancy services, and trauma-informed support.

Debbie shares how her journey through grief, motherhood, and ministry shaped her leadership philosophy rooted in humility, submission, and trust in God’s plan. With over 14 years in nonprofit leadership and as a mother to nine adopted children, she brings deep wisdom about what it means to lead faithfully in seasons of both pain and purpose.

We dive into:

✨ How obedience and humility can transform your leadership
✨ What it means to surrender control and let God lead
✨ Why leading with love and kindness creates lasting impact
✨ How to build a legacy that reflects faithfulness, not perfection

If you’ve ever felt stretched thin by leadership or uncertain about what obedience looks like in your season — this episode will remind you that God’s legacy begins right where you are.
