Donna M. Young is a pastor, speaker, and author of several powerful devotional books including She Rises, Abide, You Are His, Loved With an Everlasting Love, and Upheld. Donna lives in a small Iowa town with her husband Marty, an ordained minister and craftsman. Together, they’ve raised a big, beautiful blended family of six children, twenty-seven grandchildren, and eleven great-grandchildren. Donna’s journey is extraordinary — she’s a stage four cancer survivor who began writing during her treatments when she could do nothing else. After decades in management, she asked God for a new purpose, and He gave her one: to write and share the Gospel of Grace. Today, we’ll talk about what it means to rise in faith, abide in God’s love, and discover purpose even in life’s hardest seasons.
