About Debbie

A dream not denied but redirected. Debbie Griffith dreamed of being a Broadway star after her BA in teaching/theater/communications. She’d perform and direct numerous shows, but not on Broadway. God planted her in “The Icebox of the Nation,” and she and husband Dan raised four sons. Her dream was redirected into a ministry in 2006. Debbie’s radio feature, Everyday Matters, is now heard on stations throughout the United States. She’s a speaker-girl sharing God’s grace theatrically.  In 2017 Debbie received a DUI; not a dream, but a blessing.   Her book, “Orange is the New Blessing” is a collection of stories showing that nothing is wasted with God. The Fruit & Nuts Podcast shares how the fruit of the Spirit enables you to live well in a nutty life.

I can’t fully express the impact Debbie made on my life in such a short time. Her teaching and sense of humor had a profound effect on me. Sharing God’s Word along with her stories is just what I needed.

Orange Is the New Blessing

Debbie’s book is a collection of stories sharing how God is good even when we’re not. Her DUI in 2017 showed that God is always on the move with a plan of redemption. 

Nothing is wasted with Him.

As I read Debbie’s life, I laugh out loud one minute and tears are just running down my cheeks the next. I feel like Debbie is reading my mind as she shares her thoughts and struggles with honesty and great vulnerability!

Debbie’s honesty about her own failures points us to the God who graciously rescues people who fail because people who fail are all that there are.
