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.
