Helping Children Discover their True Purpose w/ Guest Dawn Stephens

Send us Fan MailAre you and your kids "Fruit Pots?" Join 5-Minute Parenting to find out! Special guest, Dawn Stephens, talks about discovering our true purpose by becoming vessels that grow the fruit of the Spirit, or what she refers to as "Fruit Pots!" Dawn Stephens is a former elementary school teacher and principal who has a children's book series about The Potter and His vessels. With each creative, colorful book telling a story about our relationship with God. Like the main character in her first award-winning picture book, The Little Pot, Dawn is a vessel created by the Potter. While eagerly allowing her Creator to produce the Fruit of the Spirit through her, Dawn loves to help others discover how they can be fruit pots, too -  growing love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Like Little Pot, Dawn took a long time to discover her true identity and purpose. She searched for purpose as an educator, wife, mother, fundraising director, sales manager, business owner, and even a school principal. Her search caused her to define herself by what she held. As God continued to empty and refill her, she learned to focus instead on what He would grow through her. Each of her books teaches readers about the loving relationship we can have with our Potter and with each other. Through children's books, blogs, and as an inspirational speaker at women's events, homeschooling co-ops, Christian schools, writing conferences, and churches, Dawn serves the Potter and shines His light. She helps others learn to pour out, serve, shine, and not grow weary or burn out. Her books, keynote speeches, and presentations tell readers that God never finishes using them.Discover more at: https://dawnstephensbooks.com/https://www.instagram.com/dawnstephensbooks/https://www.facebook.com/DawnStephensBookshttps://x.com/dawnstephenshttps://www.tiktok.com/@dawn_stephens_bookshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dawnstephens/https://www.youtube.com/dawnstephensbookshttps://www.pinterest.com/DawnStephensBooks/https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dawn-Stephens/author/B002BM69PA?*Are you looking for fun, gospel-inspired merch for your family + discounted picture books for your kids and grandkids?
