Debbie Alsdorf has a mission— to help women live a better story. She does this by leading women to the heart of God’s love for them and the truth of His word.

She lives life as an open book knowing others learn from her mistakes as well as her victories. Her messages are vulnerable, real and a mix of wit, humor and biblical truth.

Learning to live upon the promises of God rather than living buried under the weight of problems—something she continues to learn with every new challenge and in each new season.

She and her husband Ray have a passion for marriages, re-marriages, single parents and blended families. They have been married 28 years and have raised a blended family of four children, who have blessed them with TEN grandchildren in five years! Family is everything to her and Grammy is her most loved and treasured name. She lives in California with her husband and two crazy but very loved little dogs. Above all else, Debbie loves to rest in the fact that she is His…Being His is the core of her existence and the joy of her heart and life. As His, she knows all things have purpose and that her life is part of a bigger story.
