Testimonials

“Being a part of DOVE coaching was transformative for me because God showed me His heart simply by getting close to Him and staying close. Coaching offered me a way to stay connected to the Father through His word in the context of accountability, and it helped me to confront the parts of me that God wanted to refine. Esther posed questions that required honesty and vulnerability, and I was able to process deep sins and deep longings within me that had not been addressed prior. DOVE coaching allowed space for me to see Jesus' relationship to the Father and what it means to cultivate that same relationship for myself. Personally, I saw immediate growth because I felt like God had so much in place for me and all that was required was an open heart to receive. As someone who is naturally independent and self-driven, God showed me that having an open heart meant growing in dependence on Him and giving up control of what seems fit for me. It meant following in His steps, His way, and His pace."

"Being a part of DOVE in this stage of my life with the best of friends has been an absolute honor. I love that we can dive into the word together and keep each other accountable with Christ in the center. DOVE has taught me how to study the bible and live it, breathe it, and challenged me to walk with it as an armor. It has most definitely brought intimacy within my relationship with the Lord and to connect with Him on a deeper level I have never before. I value relationships and treasure sisterhood that God has gifted me with more through DOVE. Each individual person has their unique and God given talents that has the potential to shine. I learned that it is through each other we help one another shine so that we can shine His light!”

“DOVE helped me to really see God for who He is. Reading the Word in Jesus’ perspective really opened my eyes to see How powerful God is… but He also connects with us in a deep, intimate way. DOVE helped me to see the importance of starting the day with God’s Word. It reminded me pray and speak to God everyday. This is still a working process for me, but I hope and pray that I will develop this good habit of meeting God in the morning before I start my daily tasks. Through DOVE, I was able to see God’s faithfulness in my personal ministry. I was personally comforted a lot and really gained more courage to trust Him and in His truth. Even though the circumstances of my life didn’t drastically change, I was able to experience freedom and peace because I trusted in the hope of Jesus Christ.”

“DOVE ministry has opened my heart to a more disciplined way to know our God.  The questions that were provided for each reading really gave me new perspectives on how to interpret and understand what God was doing with the writers who were being used to be vessels for all of God’s people.  I really enjoyed growing with other sisters in Christ through the discussions of what God was telling us in each verse because it applied differently to all of us.  Seeing that God speaks to us individually was the most wonderful and beautiful experience during this season of DOVE.  I definitely approach reading God’s words in a more intentional, clearer mindset.  I really enjoyed spending day to day with the most loving Father, and the most supportive sisters.”

“In Proverbs 31:10-31, it is written that "a good woman is hard to find, and worth far more than diamonds". I am thankful to have connected with a good coach like Esther, who has proven to be consistently trustworthy, God-fearing and loving. She gently guided me to lean in closer to God as we thoroughly combed through some of my messy life events. I can confidently say a woman like her is hard to find, and her coaching worth more than diamonds.”
