Debbie Merchant is a powerhouse woman of God—strong, unstoppable, and deeply serious about the things of the Lord. She carries a unique grace to bring the broken into wholeness, and her life is a living testimony to the power of prayer. She has watched her entire family be transformed through intercession, and she continues to stand in the gap with unwavering faith.

A true warrior, Debbie went through a hellish health battle where the Lord taught her how to fight from the secret place—and now she helps many with her powerful testimony of God’s faithfulness, healing, and redemption. She is determined, devoted, and shows up with a servant’s heart—ready to protect, cover, and get things done.

Debbie loves painting and drawing, all things shabby chic, thrifting, and the art of repurposing furniture. She’s rediscovering her love of travel and enjoys hosting family at the lake. A lover of flowers, fabric, and new books, she also makes time for the gym, balancing beauty, creativity, and strength in her life.

She’s a natural protector of people, full of both fire and humor, and brings lightness to every room with her joyful spirit. Whether she’s leading recovery classes at 7 Springs or encouraging a sister in need, Debbie is the kind of woman who pulls heaven down and helps others stand tall in it. She is full of both fire and humor, and lights up any room with her joyful spirit.

She and her husband Mike love the lake life, and together they’ve served faithfully as pillars in the Kingdom and at Word Alive. Around here, when we need answers, we don’t call the Ghostbusters—we call Debbie. And heaven answers.
