Did you know God is concerned about the innermost parts of you, your thoughts, feelings, and emotions and He wants to heal you from the inside out? Today’s guest, Marilyn Johnson shares valuable information that will help us facilitate this healing.

Marilyn Johnson is a passionate and relatable Christian. She is also a wife and the mother of three children, Joshua (15), Isaac (8), and Anaya (3). A born-and-bred Londoner, Marilyn now resides on the outskirts of London in Essex, UK.

Marilyn attends the ARC church in Thurrock, Essex with her family, where she serves with her husband as an eldership couple.

She’s always had the heart to help others. Being an overcomer of significant and marked challenges, she will never pass up the opportunity of allowing people to see God through her life and testimony. Her experiences are the foundation for her passionate faith, a passion that she uses to inspire others to know that ‘God can’ and ‘He will’ (Jeremiah 32:27).

Marilyn’s current assignment includes sharing how God’s power can heal the wounds of a woman’s heart, transforming her identity into a daughter of God. Through Him, we gain access to His supernatural power that ministers to our inward parts, providing true and permanent change

Marilyn is a natural encourager with a heart for women. She greatly desires to see women gain victory over past or present challenges and move on to excel in all that God has called them to be. Her new book is slated for a 2021 release date.

The Church & Moving Beyond Betrayal

Have you experienced betrayal? Did someone not live up to your expectations? How do you move beyond this? Today's guest, Kasundra "Dr. K" Brown shares great information about betrayal, what it means, how to deal with the root, and move past the hurt and pain it causes.

Doctor K loves GOD’S Word and building up HIS people. Having done this for 20+ years, she has planned and participated in numerous youth, women’s, and family conferences. Whether one on one or in a group, she passionately educates, edifies, and encourages her audience by teaching and preaching Biblical TRUTH. Her delivery has been described as dynamic, humorous, and real. She strives to “put the cookies on the bottom shelf” so that her listeners can not only hear the Word but do the Word also.

Quick to inform people that she does not possess a doctorate degree in any subject, Doctor K was given the name by the women of a virtual prayer group. When she joined the group, Kasundra was kind of quiet. One day she felt led to participate in the discussion and after sharing, the group leader christened her Doctor K and the name stuck. That group, now known as The Corner Sisters, led to her signature presentation and women’s conference, While W8ting4u I Found Me and the release of her first book, Moving Beyond Betrayal – Help Getting Past What You May Never Get Over.

Since receiving the name, Doctor K has started a virtual Bible study called Connecting the Dots in Scripture to See the Image of GOD and launched her public speaking brand, The Tilted Fedora Trainer. Having served as an Assistant Pastor, Christian Ed Director, Youth and Women’s Pastor, Doctor K is equally comfortable teaching or speaking virtually through online platforms, in live seminars or workshops, and from the main stage.

Doctor K lives in Duncanville, TX, and is the mother of 4 adult sons.
