In this episode of He Speaks with Kate, Kate welcomes Dawn Carter Cropsey of First Love Church in Costa Mesa for an uplifting conversation about following God's leading and faithfully serving wherever He calls.

Dawn reflects on the lasting impact of both her earthly father's love and her Heavenly Father's faithfulness, sharing how those early experiences shaped her heart for ministry and helping others. She talks about God's guidance throughout her college years, the blessing of serving alongside her husband in ministry, and her passion for encouraging women to discover and use the gifts God has given them.

With a Master's degree in Counseling and a bachelor's degree in Child Development, Dawn brings wisdom, compassion, and biblical truth to everything she does. Whether mentoring women, supporting her church, or sharing encouragement online through her Faith & Fashion ministry (@DawnDawnCarter), her desire is to point others toward a deeper relationship with Christ.

Through her gifts of encouragement, teaching, and discernment, Dawn reminds us that God faithfully directs those who are willing to follow Him.

Main Takeaway: Let God lead your life. As you trust His direction and faithfully serve others with the gifts He's given you, He will use your life to encourage, strengthen, and point people to Him.
