What People are Saying

"Susan DeFace Washington is the real deal. She is one of the most powerful, heartwarming, spirit filled speakers we have been blessed to hear. Women of all ages were  blessed by her testimony and her message of hope, forgiveness and God's redeeming love for all people no matter the circumstances in your past or present situation.  We have had many speakers for our Women's Events at First Baptist Church Carrollton and  I can honestly say Susan ranks as one of the most outstanding speakers we have had." 

- Beverly Anderson, Women's Ministry Coorinator for First Baptist Church of Carrollton

"I have practiced criminal law for over twenty years, as both a prosecutor and defense attorney, and I have witnessed up-close the devastating consequences of drug addiction. Prison has a way of getting your attention, and yet, I have seen many disingenuous and counterfeit “jailhouse conversions” in desperate attempts to game the system and receive leniency. I can assure you, there is nothing fake or phony about Susan and her relationship with, and devotion to, Jesus Christ.   

Through faith and perseverance, she has found transforming freedom and undeniable peace and purpose. Susan is the real deal and she possesses a compelling life story and inspiring testimony of God’s unconditional love, saving grace and redemptive power."

- Joe Shearin, Criminal Defense Attorney

We recently had Susan DeFace Washington come and speak at our monthly ladies group at our church. After speaking with Susan to learn more about her story, I couldn’t wait to have her present to our ladies.

When the day finally came, Susan brought her support team, Power Point, and an infectious spirit. Susan was very open and willing to share her story. Her transparency gave us a glimpse into her world that began with pain, lies, and sadness but ends in the victory and joy that can only come from having a relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Her story communicated so many things in such a short time. Her story communicates the power of hope, forgiveness, and how nothing we can do will separate us from the love of Jesus.

"I have had the opportunity to hear Susan DeFace Washington speak on more than one occasion. After hearing her story, all I could think was that it was one of the most courageous testimonies I have ever heard. She is living proof of God’s power and grace."

- Randy Smith of First Baptist Church of Allen

Alexis' Sweet Heart- She was hurting but also healing :)

AuthorSusan Washington

 

It is so wonderful to hear Alexis' voice in her writings and you can see her courage and boldness. Before she went on this interview I told her she needed to be honest about her past because when we are honest we can walk in freedom. I know how hard it is to confess your failures and mistakes in a job interview because you run the risk of being rejected but the rewards of facing your fears head on regardless of the consequences are indescribable. Honestly it is hard to confess your failures and mistakes in any venue but once you do God's light shines in and takes away the darkness of your secrets and  the lies Satan is whispering in your ear.  As the Bible says in  John 8:   " 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Nothing has made more of a difference in my life than walking in truth and light, God's light can shine from within. It is the most powerful precept I live by.

Even in my pain, a pain so deep and raw that  I have never experienced before and I have experienced a lot of pain, I see God's goodness and grace. Later I will share  HIS amazing love  and gift to me through photos of the car. He blessed me so much and I want to shout from the depth of my soul how Good He Is and how I know HE is hurting with me and for me. We live in a broken world but HIS grace and love is still omnipotent . And because of his unconditional love that lives in my heart HIS brilliant light can shine through my brokenness.
