Carol McLeod

“I want you to hear and know that God is pleased with you. He has more for you to do for His glory. Do not give up or grow weary from disappointments. Trust His plans for you.” These words were the life-giving encouragement I received from Carol McLeod. We had met just moments earlier. I soon discovered Carol to be a deep well of joy, wisdom, and humble love. I never expected to receive such direct and heartfelt encouragement from her that day. She refreshed my anxious heart. It was clear that her radiant, demonstrative love came from a long and intimate walk with God. Along her journey, Carol has learned and lived a truth we all need to embrace: our significance comes from God. If you are like me, as you search for answers, you desire Christlike mentors like Carol who can help you navigate the ups and downs of womanhood. You want to know that you matter. That you’re seen, heard, and have a singular identity beyond what this world tells you to be. Carol shows us how much we matter to God and to the world He has created. She takes us to the wisdom and truth of the Word of God and reveals how we can live joyfully and courageously with genuine purpose, becoming all that our Creator designed us to be.”

“Carol McLeod does a masterful job of helping us learn how to think in a renewed way—a biblical way that will forever change how we live, including how we respond to our family members, friends, coworkers, and neighbors. With vulnerable transparency, she shares the mistakes she’s made and the lessons she’s learned. And she explains the best biblical choices each of us can make as we live in this world alongside other people who yearn to be understood, valued, and cared for.”

“When I think of who Carol is, two words come to mind: steady and strong. She’s been through some of the toughest personal storms an individual can endure—losing babies, battling cancer, facing financial difficulty, and a host of other trials. Most of us would have collapsed under such hardship and quite possibly ditched our faith. Yet, through every storm, Carol has remained steady and strong. How does Carol remain steady and strong? Carol has rooted herself deeply in God’s Word and spent much time in His presence praising Him. Praise was her mantra even on the most difficult days. As a result, her roots have held her steady and strong—not only during seasons of drought, but also when the hurricane and tornado winds have blown.”

“As a youth, a wise man told me that when choosing companions for life’s journey, I should look for those fellow “soldiers” who had dented armor. Those with shiny and pristine armor would be of little help when it came to navigating life’s battles. Carol McLeod is one of those valiant warriors with dented, scratched, and scuffed armor. If you are seeking advice on how to survive the storms of life, you’ve found someone who knows firsthand what it means to not just survive them, but also to exit them better in all the ways that really matter.” 

“Carol McLeod is an important voice in the church today. A great communicator? Yes! A convicting voice for truth? Yes! Carol is the real, genuine, and authentic deal. Not only has she survived some of life’s biggest challenges—she’s thriving! “
