About Dinah Hodgson

My mission is to bring the good news of the Gospel to individuals, bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty, open prison doors for individuals as I am used by God to restore individuals to their original design and purpose. My focus is primarily leaders as I have a passion to see them finish their race well.

From early on I have volunteered my time serving in multiple capacities in the church. In 1996, after praying for focus in ministry the Lord led me to Isaiah 61. This has now been a guiding post for my ministry. In 2004, after taking a “Women in Ministry” course, I realized I was actually called to ministry. In 2010, I was ordained. I’ve received my BA in Christian Leadership, my MM in Christian Leadership and Christian Counseling, and currently I’m working on my doctorate. I’ve served in Women’s Ministry, Adult Education, Growth and Leadership ministry, Freedom Ministries, as well as an associate pastor. I’ve worked in the church as well as with Discipleship, Leadership, and Freedom Ministries.

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory…” Ephesians 3:20

New Book Explores The Healing Power of Facing Childhood Abuse and Trauma

Underneath her facade of happiness, Dinah Hodgson struggles emotionally.

When her unhappiness becomes too much to bear, she cries out to God, but His response is not what she expects: He leads her to reexamine her abusive childhood. Even though obedience will be painful, Dinah accepts that it’s the only way out of the dark place she’s found herself in.

What follows is a journey of reclaiming her destiny as God brings her “up from the ashes” and into abundant life.

From the beginning, God called us to walk in intimacy with Him and be alive in the Spirit realm. The fall separated us from God, but Jesus restored what was lost and calls us to be sanctified, walk in a relationship and His ways while reclaiming what was stolen. God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit’s…

Relationship

From the very beginning God not only designed man to be in relationship with Him, but also within the framework of relationship and the context of community. Most people know and experience the value of relationship, but since the fall of man we have missed the mark of walking in God’s original intent for relationship.…

Leadership Development

Leaders have an incredible calling from God. However, too often leaders fail because of poor training, personal issues, lack of Biblical understanding of how God develops leaders, and being pressured by external sources that are overwhelming. My intent is to support leaders, and encourage them in their growth and experience as a leader. Here’s some…
