Dunamis Living Dunamis Living is every day life with the comfort, knowledge and wisdom of God! Be transformed!………….. Check out our website at www.dunamisliving.com.

Dunamis is about moving from a powerless religion to a power-filled relationship with Jesus Christ! Kathleen Shinaut is a survivor of extensive childhood trauma including incest, verbal and physical abuse. The doctors told her people who have been through what she went through did not do life, they either committed suicide or were institutionalized. But God had a different plan and delivered her from the darkness of a chaotic mind when she decided to BELIEVE Him instead of just believing IN Him! After years of doctors' reports with only a fair, guarded or poor prognosis and pills, groups, self help books and secular 'transformational trainings' she discovered God's Word had plenty to say about her thoughts and her mind. She refers to this time in her life as the time of transformation. God did in three years what the world couldn't do in twenty. Since then Shinaut says it 'burns in my bones' to share the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to teach others the Word. Dunamis is the culmination of fifteen years of study including a Bachelor's in Christian Ministry and Christian Life Coach certification as well as experience as a popular bible study teacher, a Women's Pastor and Worship leader. God gave her a vision for women's ministry in her senior year at Ecclesia College and she faithfully waited until she was sure it was God's timing and His format. Seven years later, in 2014, Dunamis Transformational Training was formed. Dunamis Transformational Training offers the flagship Discovery Weekend, Vision Quest, and Leadership & Life Application courses as well as modules that can be adapted to different audiences and time frames. Kathleen brings a genuine, passionate and powerful message no matter where she in invited to teach. You can contact Kathleen at 479-461-9782 or at coach.shinaut@gmail.com. Kathleen Shinaut lives in Fort Smith, AR where she teaches the Dunamis Courses, serves as a community volunteer and is a board member and ministry team member of River Valley Christian Life Corps. She attends HarvestTime Church with her husband, Don.

Have you ever felt like God was calling you to something? It is true God has a purpose and a plan for everybody. Some things are easy to see like being in ministry to your spouse and your children. Then there are things that are so big you KNOW it has to be coming from Him because you cannot do it alone. Maybe you are like me. I have this wonderful habit( I say that with a bit of sarcasm) of getting ahead of God. You see, God created me as a visionary. I 'see' big pictures really easily.That could be why I often would run ahead of God on the projects I felt He led me too. But then He put a little vision in my heart in 2007 as I graduated with my Bachelors in Christian Ministries from Ecclesia College. It was a women's ministry. I also knew He had only given me the seed. Now, 18 years later, He has given me all the pieces and finally - His approval to role it out!
That was a long time to wait. I was able to do a few workshops on the first part of the Experience to work out some things and to teach me some more valuable lessons. The curriculum was written over two years. I was determined to wait until I had HIS permission to go full ahead. I waited a long time. I once prayed to Him that 'deferred hope makes a heart sick" and my hope had been deferred a long time. But what He showed me of this vision required me to be absolutely sure I was moving in God's time and not mine. Eighteen years later, I am rejoicing that I get to move forward! The ministry God inspired is based on what God did for me during what I call my time of 'transformation'! I called myself a Christian before this but now I KNOW my Savior in a way I thought was reserved for people like Billy Graham and Corrie Tenboom. I truly became a new creation! I found His promises really are Yes and Amen! I discovered His Word and the power in it to transform the life of anyone who Believes it and applies it to their life! Now it burns in my bones to open up His Word to all who need a healthy dose of Hope and Healing and Love. Real Love!

The ministry is called The Dunamis Experience(Dunamis is a Greek word used in Scripture to describe the power of the Holy Spirit - we get the word dynamite from it) and it is the main program of Dunamis Living Women's Ministries. There is so much to share that I cannot write it all here BUT we will have an informational meeting on January 3, 2026. Have you wondered 'Is this all there is?' Have you felt the call to women's ministry? Do you want to dig deeper into this faith you profess? Do you want to help build an important End Times Ministry? Do you want to help other women deepen their faith and understanding of the Word and how to walk out your faith? Have you considered becoming a Christian Life Coach? Have you felt the desire to work in a faith community or build deep friendships with other women of faith? If you answered yes to any of these questions you NEED to come to our Informational meeting! Call or text me for the location and times! I pray the Holy Spirit quickens your heart and you sign up! No matter where you are in your walk, Dunamis will change your life forever! I need you, God needs you for this incredible opportunity to serve Him and the many women who need Him to meet them where they are! My name is Kathleen Parsons and my phone number to call or text me is 479-542-3411. I am located in Fort Smith, Arkansas. This will start in this region and grow from there to a multi-state ministry across the USA. The fields are white ladies! There are so many opportunities to serve as trainers, small group leaders, team members for each weekend... Pray about this! The Holy Spirit will confirm this, if not before our meeting, during it!

Sometimes life can stop you in your tracks. You hit what feels like rock bottom. You cannot pray. You cannot feel God. And there seems to be no end to the pain. This is when your study of and memorizing of His Word comes in handy.
The last few years have been very difficult and challenging. I found out my 13 year old daughter had been molested by her father, my husband. Within the hour I heard this, I had banished him from our home and he had left. That was the beginning of the end of everything that had been our life.
The truth is I had no ability to remember all the verses I knew. And I had no ability to read with any comprehension. The only thing I knew was that Jesus knew this was going to happen and He would see me through.
I’d like to say I felt His presence all along but I did not. My feelings do not affect my life, only facts. I had long since made the choice to believe in AND BELIEVE God. I had studied His Word a long time and I knew that I knew He would never leave me or forsake me. And He did not!
Sometimes life can stop you in your tracks. You hit what feels like rock bottom. You cannot pray. You cannot feel God. And there seems to be no end to the pain. This is when your study of and memorizing of His Word comes in handy. So study now! Commit to your memory how very much He loves you!
With Christ, you got this!

Therefore Since We are justified by faith(fully trusting God) we have peace with God through our Lord, Jesus Christ.

I have found that faith is a matter of choosing to trust God! The more I trust Him, the more I discover He is trustworthy! And my trust grows! My faith is strong because I have learned to trust Him more each day. His Word is true and I can trust everything it says.

I used to think having faith had to do with believing in Him now I know it has more to do with believing Him and all him to help me overcome my unbelief!

His Word is crucial to growing my faith! His Word is to my life with my God as seed is to the earth!

Do you get anything from this statement? If so, would you share with me? Your thoughts would be refreshing! Thank you!

My fellow Americans! Listen, please! When people from differing views are talking with you, I ask you to remember we will get farther if we remember we aren’t trying to start an argument, we are trying to solve the problem.
And! If you are just trying to start an argument I humbly suggest that you ask yourself why?
I love America. Even with our failures, the American way has been an influence for good in the world. That is disappearing because the media and foreign countries who mean Americans harm stoke all of us! Think about it. Do you know people who have quit watching the news because it makes them anxious or mad? And then add those you know who don’t watch because they don’t believe we get truth from anywhere! I make this point: those people are from all walks of life and both sides of the aisle! Ask yourself “Who benefits the most from America being divided against itself? Even those who are most unhappy with America has to be able to see that if America succumbs to well administered culture war that is brewing toward something we have never seen before, Every one of us will suffer! And suffer huge! In addition, the world will suffer! PLEASE! The politics aren’t helping! So let’s start a dialogue! How can we come back together? How can we find our way back to the middle? The time has passed for us to not take action! Who will lead us back to a country that works together!? Those people exist! How do we find them? Speak up! If we were attacked by another country wouldn’t we all band together against the enemy? Yes! I believe we would! Believe me when I say our enemies are waging a successful war against our country! It is an ideological war that started many years ago. If you don’t believe me go to George Magazine’s website and look for the interview with a former Soviet Union spy who defected to America who tells us all about what they have been up to! Do not think they are the only ones who utilize the same tactics. It’s time to come back together as Americans, let’s stop arguing and come together as Americans to find REAL solutions! It is obvious our politicians are not able to do this! As a citizen of America I ask you all, how can we come back together? I still have hope…
