Here’s more you might want to know about DeeDee Lake:

• She’s been a Christian Relationship coach and mentor for over twenty-five years
• Married thirty-seven years, she is crazy about her man, Seth
• They adopted two babies – a four-month-old girl from Panama and a three-week-old boy from New York City. They’re grown now and terrific people – especially because they live on their own.
• Her three grandkids call her Nana and she has been known to spoil them on occasion.

She’s outgoing, funny, and can out talk an auctioneer – she says more words without taking a breath than your average person. Some may even say she is an Olympic Level Chatter – if it was an Olympic event.

She’s a graduate of the National Speakers Association – Colorado Chapter’s Speaker Academy where she honed her speaking skills. Although, her family believes she came into this world chatting and connecting,

Her book, a guide for teen girl’s Christian journey, Next Step. You’ve Accepted Jesus. Now What? is based on DeeDee’s desire to walk with girls and young woman as they grow in the Lord.

DeeDee Lake was a teen when she accepted Christ and had no clue what the next steps were for her. She knew Jesus. but didn’t know how to live out her faith walk.

Years later in Panama she was blessed with amazing Christian women who came along side of her and led the way. She learned by doing life with them and it forever changed her. DeeDee knew then her life would be filled with reaching back to help other young women.

Feeling lost and not knowing where to look for answers was troubling for DeeDee and her hope is to always be a woman of faith that other women, teens, and children can look to for guidance, love, and fun!
