More About Dawn Stephens


Dawn Stephens is an author, dramatic storyteller, and speaker whose passion is to help women understand how the Holy Spirit cultivates the fruit of the Spirit in our lives. Through analogies, she calls us to be "Fruit Pots" for Jesus.

=====

Dawn is an award-winning author and illustrator; first and foremost, she is a Fruit Pot! In other words, she is a vessel through which the Potter has chosen to grow the fruit of the Spirit. It took a long time for her to discover that. She searched for purpose as a teacher, wife, mother, fundraising director, sales manager, and school principal. As God emptied and refilled her with new roles, she believed she had found the one thing He wanted her to be. Each time, she let the things she held define her. Eventually, she realized God was more concerned about what could grow through her. She shares her journey through a children’s picture book called The Little Pot. 

Just as clay in a potter's hands, her creator continues to teach her about the relationship He wants to have with her. As He does, she writes and illustrates books. The following are messages she regularly gives using her books:

  1. Becoming a Fruit Pot is an inspirational message for all ages that includes Dawn’s journey writing The Little Pot and becoming a vessel that grows love, joy, peace, patience, and more. 
  2. Tea for You is a message from Dawn's book, The Tea Pot, in which Dawn shares the importance of giving to others what is inside you.
  3. Let Your Light Shine is a message from Dawn's book The Oil Lamp, in which she explains what it means not to be afraid and to shine.
  4. Working Together is a message from her book Burnout Fit In, in which Dawn shows how we can work together and use our wounds to help others.
  5. Growing the Fruit of the Spirit is a Bible and Character Education lesson for adults and children that explains how the fruit of the Spirit grows through us.

Paula Miller, Author and Event Host

Dawn was a fantastic speaker. She was clear, easy to understand, and shared relevant pieces of her story that made you engaged and excited to hear more. Her props were a great visual aid, and she kept your attention the entire time. We had so many attendees tell us that they loved her presentation!

As an attending author at an event, I so appreciated what Dawn had to share. She's genuine and very relatable and has such an important message to share, no matter where you are in life. My husband and I both took a lot away from her message. I highly recommend her!

I can't recommend Dawn to you highly enough. She extracts diamonds of wisdom and pearls of grace from the Bible for her audiences. More than that, having served alongside her, I can tell you she lives what she teaches.

I have known Dawn for several years and have sat under her teaching Bible studies, leading various meetings between church and school business, and also speaking in a volunteer role for things such as Women's Conferences, VBS, and pretty much whatever else we would ask of her. She is a gifted speaker and prepares each of her talks thoroughly. You can tell she puts in the work but also draws on her many years of experience in different fields.

Dawn Stephens has played an important role in my life. When I started my career, I learned so much from her as I watched her lead excellently. I can’t recommend her enough! Throughout my time knowing Dawn, I have seen her make an impact on people of all ages at our church and school. She is extremely talented and has a lot of wisdom to share. She is a great public speaker, and, most importantly, she loves Jesus. If you include Dawn Stephens in your plans, you won’t regret it!
