What Women Are Saying After Hearing Darlene Speak At A Retreat or Event:

“Wow! I felt that Saturday was more than I expected because as women we just keep going on and forget to check OUR Hearts.  You were right on for so many of us and we need to have a reality check to be more like Jesus to ourselves and others.  I was overwhelmed with how many women are hurting.  Thank you for coming at the right time and touching many lives. Some were glad they were not the only ones that were feeling this way about their lives. Thank you, Lord, for bringing Darlene to our Church!”  Women’s Ministry Director, IN

“Your presentation was inspirational. I felt your presentation was very well delivered and I acquired some inspirational growth and encouragement from your experiences.

 I admire your strength and courage to stand in front of all these ladies.

  May the Lord continue to bless you for your willingness to serve and spread the salvation message.” Team Leader of a Spring Banquet, MI

“Thank you once again for coming and sharing with us yesterday.  Your presentation was full of so much information that I am still running through it in my head and trying to "digest" it all!”  Women’s Ministry Team Leader, MI

“You are highly gifted!  It is delightful to sit under your teaching.”  Coach to be, Amy, IL

"When she read all those scriptures, I had a deeper understanding of them, then when I just read them on my own!"

 "I am so glad some of the younger girls came, because I wish I had known even a small amount of what was taught today, when I was their age"  Laura S.

Darlene’s Coaching Clients are saying: 

“I had gotten to the point where I felt utterly stuck and alone in my circumstances. Darlene showed me how I could, despite present circumstances, take small but meaningful steps to move myself forward from a place of pain to a place of purpose.”
Dana, Tennessee 

“Your help is right on.” Business Administrator, Indiana 

“I did want to tell you some things coaching has done for me: It has given me the courage to step out, to fulfill the dreams God has for me, it has connected my past hurts, the black dots into something more positive and encouraging, it has focused me toward my purpose that God has for my life, it has opened my heart to the passions and dreams God has instilled in me, I have given my past hurts, my perfectionism issues, current difficulties in relationships to God, it has also assisted me to have a more intimate and closer relationship with God, I have not been afraid to speak out and know it is God that I need to please and not other people.” A Social Worker  

“ Great meeting!!!!  Loved it...

I enjoyed our conversation today and thank you for all your experiences that you had shared.  The coaching session, scripture, and prayer was absolutely what I needed for the day” . Barb, Minnesota 

“I have thoroughly enjoyed being coached and have learned so much about myself in the process.   The process is thorough, taking into account my past successes and failures, what I enjoy doing, where my passions lie, and covering my strengths and weaknesses.  It became very clear where God was leading me and what I needed to do to prepare for His work.  Being coached was very enlightening and satisfying!”  A 66 year old woman 

“Life Purpose Coaching was a wise investment of my time and resources.  Through Darlene's insightfulness and thought-provoking questions I was able to see clearly the path that I believe that God has set me on...  With the help of the Holy Spirit I can't wait to see how God is going to use me!” Amy, Illinois

“I think Coaching gives you the opportunity to talk about your hurts, fears, dreams and hopes. To see them written down lends them credibility. Coaching helps you to see which ones are credible and which ones have been planted by the deceiver.” A  Business Woman   

 “Having Darlene Lund as my coach has been life changing. Her personable yet perceptive approach has encouraged me to embrace Christ, in Him I have great worth. Darlene has challenged me to persevere and continue down the pathway to my unique purpose. Wouldn't you like to find yours? Go ahead take a step!”  A Mom of Six 

“When I started down this path, I wasn’t sure who I was and wasn’t comfortable with me. It’s been like my eyes have been opened that I have a purpose-a special purpose designed by God! I have never felt so whole, so comfortable with me! This is me!”  A Medical Professional   

Darlene’s Life Purpose Plan Clients are saying:

“ I am amazed how diligently we worked until the very last minute.  The format of the plan is an excellent way to bring forth perception of important themes – to create a new awareness.  The plan leaves the participant with lots of homework ahead, designed for advancement toward necessary change and advancement toward one’s destiny.   Life is now exciting – getting up with a goal for the day.”  A business woman in her 50’s

“I think a Life Purpose Plan Facilitation helps you to connect the “dots” of things that have happened in your past. This allows you to see the big picture of how God has used those things to mold you for his plan and your specific purpose.” A Homemaker   

“This process was very beneficial and clarifying for me. I now know my unique purpose for the next step of my life. I have heard this for years but I have not been able to embrace it. I now know—just do it! Poise and professionalism flow from Darlene as she was facilitating my Life Plan.” A  Registered Nurse 

"Thank you does not begin to express my gratefulness to you for the time you spent with me the last few days going through my past and God's plans for my future. Thank you for reminding me, encouraging me, and challenging me to continue moving forward in God's purposes for me.  I really appreciate the verses you gave me, was surprised by the spiritual gifts I have and was humbled greatly by the testimonies of my friends and family.  You did a great job coaching me - giving me "time" to answer - not just "telling" me what to say.” An Educator 

Darlene’s Book Study Attendees are saying: 

“Thank you for the blessings of this class...God has twisted, stretched, examined, pounded on, convicted, encouraged and taught me in many areas.  I hope to be able to continue forging on in my life purpose.”  From Pathway to Purpose for Women Book Study Attendee 

“ I wanted to say how much I appreciate your ministry and know God put you in my life for a reason, Bless Him and You!” Sis

“This has been very helpful.   I love to learn and understand things in depth.  I will continue to take classes as long as you teach them!” A 54 year old woman 

“I learned that I am a unique woman created by God and my ultimate validation can only come from God. Knowing I can share this with my daughter fills me with joy when I see her twirling in a dress at the age of 17 wanting to know that she is Captivating too!” From a Captivating Book study attendee 

“Before starting the Captivating study it appeared I had it all together on the outside but my heart was broken and empty feeling on the inside. I knew Jesus as my Savior but I was left wondering if this was all there was to life. This study has caused my heart to awaken to God and to the desires that He has placed inside my heart. It is these God given desires that have filled my life with a new purpose. God has an irreplaceable role for each one of us to play and it is enjoyable.” A 37 year old Wife and Mother
