I am Marianne Herr, born and raised in Switzerland. For more than twenty years, I  have lived with my husband, Guenter, and our sons in Germany. 

I always felt that my calling was to help people overcome obstacles in their lives so they could pursue their unique, God-given purposes. However, I struggled with my obstacles, mainly the focus on “religion” over a relationship with God. 

I started my career in nursing and later earned my Ph.D. in anthropology. However,  this work was not personally fulfilling and did not give me the tools to help people  how I felt called to. 

Along the way, I became an ordained minister. This allowed me to combine my faith and my intellectual knowledge to assist Believers in many areas of their lives. 

Years later, I discovered life coaching and realized that this was the best way to assist Christians in pursuing dreams and desires and a life of greater fulfillment. I became certified through the Professional Christian Coaching Institute (PCCI) to learn how to apply my knowledge and experience to helping Believers. 

My journey may seem remarkable, but I was focused on my performance and  “pleasing God” rather than on knowing God’s love for me. It was only when I was at  the end of my rope several times that I learned to walk with God and let Him guide  me through challenging times. I was never taught how to do this in church; I had to learn the hard way. 

I designed the Created For More life coaching program to help Christians find  clarity in their lives and develop into the people God created them to be. This program is not about doing more for God but about allowing God to do more  through you. I want to share what is not taught in churches so that Christians can stop trying to do things for God and let Him do things through them. My life verse has been John 10:10b: “I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better than they ever dreamed of.” 

My journey has been one of transformation, from uncertainty to confidence,  from insecurity to clarity, and from anxiety to competence. It was a long  process for me, but I hope it can be a shorter journey for you, inspiring you to  embark on your own personal and spiritual growth path.

23 | What is Christian Longevity? Can You Live an Active, Healthy Life Through Old Age?

Hello Jesus People Sisters!

What if the last third of your life were filled with ministry to your family and friends, your brothers and sisters in Christ, and to the lost. You can serve others because you can still walk and stand and travel and do all kinds of activities because you have a sharp mind and strong body. You’re able to play with your grandchildren and even great-grandchildren. What if the last part of your life were the most fruitful part of your life? You’re able to preach and teach and mentor and bless many with your wisdom and life experience. You’re living that abundant life Jesus promised. You are flourishing and continuing to bear fruit in old age. Could this be God’s plan for your life? In this episode, we learn more about Christian longevity with Christian longevity coach and cohost of the Jesus People Sisterhood Podcast, Ellie MacCormick. Let’s make our health span equal our life span!

May this episode bless you!

22 | How Minimalism Can Set You Free to Follow Your Dreams and Live a More Meaningful Life - A Discussion with Dawn Shannon

22 | How Minimalism Can Set You Free to Follow Your Dreams and Live a More Meaningful Life - A Discussion with Dawn Shannon

Hello Jesus People Sisters!

In this episode, we continue our discussion on minimalism with guest, Dawn Shannon. Dawn shares from personal experience how minimalizing your life can bring freedom for you and others and help you pursue your dreams. 

Working in a corporate setting for most of her life, Dawn Shannon enjoyed her work and the people she worked with but she always knew she was meant for more. Fear and doubt paralyzed her from taking bold, courageous action to pursue her dreams. 

When her mother died unexpectedly, she realized life was too short to let fear rob her from experiencing and fulfilling her lifelong dreams. Without her faith and accountability partners, she would NEVER have stepped out of her comfort zone to pursue her dreams. 

Now, Dawn travels the globe speaking to others who have been putting off their dreams for decades, encouraging them to pursue those dreams NOW because tomorrow is not promised, and it's never too late! 

Dawn encourages and empowers her audience to overcome fear, shame, and doubt, replacing those limiting beliefs with bold, courageous faith to pursue and monetize their lifelong dreams. 

Her motto, "A plan without action is a dream deferred!" drives her commitment to inspire and challenge her audience to Harness the Power of Accountability! 

May this episode bless you!

Could minimalism be the key to finding freedom, contentment, and a more meaningful life? Stay tuned as Janine and I review the Netflix documentary The Minimalists: Less Is Now.
