Self-described as a continuous “work in progress”, Danna has learned how to find deep satisfaction by putting first things first in each area of her life. A survivor of marital infidelity, the heartbreak of rebellious children, the paralysis of unrelenting panic attacks and prolonged bondage to food, Danna has personally discovered that God’s Word is truly “living and active and more powerful than a two-edged sword.” In fact, that “sword” is much like a precision surgical knife that when turned on ourselves excises the lies we believe and replaces them with truth.

Danna has a passion for encouraging others with these life-changing truths. It is her desire to help them dig beneath the surface to find greater balance and purpose in all the dimensions of their lives. Years of mentoring and teaching have earned her the reputation of being a quality woman’s “total life coach”.

In 1996 in response to her desire for unchurched and unsaved women to hear about Christ, Danna founded “Women of Purpose”. This dynamic outreach ministry presents four events each year in local hotels to provide an opportunity for Christian women to share their faith with friends, family and co-workers in a “non-church” setting. In addition, Women of Purpose publishes a quarterly mini-magazine which to date reaches over 6,000 women.
