About Me

Eva McIntosh

Bio

I currently reside in Delaware with my three amazing children that God has blessed me with. I love spending time with my family, and my brothers and sisters in Christ. I love listening to praise music, reading devotionals, watching movies, spending time in nature observing God’s handiwork, and although I do not own one, I love horses.

I am a work in progress. We all are, aren’t we? Wouldn’t it be nice if we all had a picture-perfect life? Unfortunately, life is filled with ups and downs. God gave me the desire to minister to the brokenhearted about 10 years ago. However, it took time to reach to where I am now. You see, I have experienced many challenges and heartaches in my own life that were in need of healing.

My childhood was not exactly ideal. I am the last of seven children to an alcoholic parent. I witnessed the tail end of my parent’s chaotic marriage fall apart and end in divorce. I was sexually abused at an early age and faced that secret alone until I was 18. I watched my mother struggle to make ends meet as a single parent for many years prior to her remarrying when I was in high school. I lost both parents within a year’s time between the ages of 21 and 22. Although my father was mostly absent from my life, the loss of my mother was devastating. Having only witnessed a healthy marriage for a short time, I later found myself in a destructive marriage which ended in divorce.

What I have come to understand though, is that there is growth that happens even in the most difficult moments. This growth has shaped who I am and the story I want to share.

Education

I earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology from University of Phoenix. Then I earned a Master of Arts in Human Services Counseling: Marriage and Family from Liberty University. I concluded my education with a Master’ s of Arts in Pastoral Counseling: Marriage & Family, Community Care and Counseling also from Liberty University. My education is full circle enabling me to understand both the complexities of the human mind as well as the magnificence of God.

Of all of my educational experience, the most significant and impactful has been the lessons I’ve learned through life experiences that the Lord has so graciously, sovereignly, and lovingly enabled me to gain. I want to emphasize that not all of the experiences were pleasant. In fact, many of them were heart-wrenching and resulted in extreme brokenness.

Yet, it was in that brokenness that I can truly say I met the Lord. From the pit of my despair He stretched out His hand and pulled me out of the darkness allowing me to go from knowing of Him to knowing Him in a much deeper way that I will never forget. To think that the same God who created the heavens and the earth, in all His busyness, loved me enough to rescue me from what could have been a major catastrophe.

Many of you who are reading may know that type of brokenness. Either you are there now or have a powerful rescue story of your own. My desire is to share the lessons I have learned which have enabled my personal spiritual growth bringing me to the beautiful place I am at now to testify of God’s goodness and faithfulness. He does indeed work all things together for the good of those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
