Let's Talk.
Most of the time I’m listening, but when God says it’s time, I speak
Heather DeJesus Yates joins God by inviting women out of small stories of competition and comparison into God’s grand story of reconciliation and redemption. She is reclaiming “motherhood” for all women, inspiring you to build God’s forever family not by procreation, but by regeneration through faith in Christ.
How? It’s simple, just not automatic. We will need to roll up our soul’s sleeves and bravely show up to those around us. But, the good news is it doesn’t need to be a grand gesture! In fact, it’s the littlest things that matter.
Think seed! It's not rocket science, but it is labor in love:
plant small. root deep. bear life!
Heather lets God use her voice to help women:
• Exchange the shame-heavy life where you constantly try to fix yourself, for the shame-free life where you are constantly embraced by love
• Change your pace from hurry with overwhelm to rest with intention
• Nourish your worn out and wilting soul and body with God’s healing Word and gentle care
• Stop chasing the wind of comparison and competition so you actually live your meaningful life
As the child of a Puerto Rican father and German mother, her voice bears her passion with rooted faith whether on the page or stage – always pointing women to the grace of God and love of Jesus.
“She is hilarious! I mean, I actually want to read my Bible all the time now because of how she helped me see Jesus…” — Bible study attendee
Heather became more attuned to the hearts of women when she began facilitating women's Bible studies years ago through her local church. She understands how women are just trying to live real life with an unchanging God in a changing world. Using her personal redemptive stories as evidence of God's character as good, she testifies vulnerably of her failures and His faithfulness, putting her need for Jesus on display so others can experience the hope of Christ too.
Heather is the author of All the Wild Pearls – A Guide For Passing Down Redemptive Stories, because she wants every woman to be confident in telling her own redemption story!
Her second book, A Mother of Thousands – From Barren to Revolutionary canvasses their infertility journey, including adoption and fostering, and brings hope to those who feel barren.
Her favorite days include her husband, daughter and baby boy either enjoying a slow day in the foothills of the Appalachians of Tennessee, winding the back roads in her old but restored 1953 Chevy truck named Wild Pearl, or collecting shells on any seashore.
"Captivating, vivid, genuine, delightful: these are the words that come to mind when I think of Heather Yates! Every time I have heard her speak, she captures the attention of her listeners and leaves them with fresh inspiration, new perspective, and ultimately, a response which can be nothing short of indebted gratitude to Jesus for the way He orchestrates our lives. I hope you'll have many opportunities to treat yourself to the wisdom, comedy, and life-altering presence of this woman of God!"
