Hello Jesus People Sisters!
Has it been the desire of your heart to find a marriage partner? Has your dating life been disappointing? Or maybe you have been intimidated by the whole dating process. Maybe you aren’t even interested in dating or marriage. In today’s episode, you’re in for a treat. We’ll be speaking with Linda Geiger, a Christian dating and relationship coach, who will answer some of your dating questions.
How is dating after 50 different than when we were younger? How can you tell if you’re ready to date? What about online dating for Christian women over fifty? What does a healthy dating relationship look like? What are some red flags when dating? Are there any good men out there or are there just scammers? How can you be safe when dating?
Listen to this episode for answers to these questions and more.
We hope this episode blesses you!

43 | Reaffirm Your God-given Assignment: An Interview with Dr. Marianne Herr Part 2
Hello Jesus People Sisters!
Do you know what God’s given assignment is for your life? Are you sensitive to His daily leading? Do you sense you are co-laboring with Christ? Listen to today’s episode as we continue our interview with Marianne Herr who will discuss these issues and more.
May this episode bless you!
Ellie and Janine
Mentions:
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.
