My passion is to help others let go of their fear of rejection so they can live an authentic life as God planned. Because of my personal journey, I know it is possible to escape captivity and experience freedom to be our authentic selves.
In my new YouTube series, Authentic Living: Free to be Real, I talk about what our lives can look like when we walk on God's path of freedom. Listeners will learn how to overcome their need for perfection by welcoming imperfection. Those struggling with anxiety will realize how they can prevent their anxiety from dictating their daily decisions. All of the short discussions relate to ways people can live in freedom rather than fear. https://gailporterauthor.com/YouTube

Writing devotionals and short stories has also become an enjoyable journey. My story about my grandmother, entitled "The Sound of Lullabies," won first place in the 2023 Mature Living contest and was published in their magazine.
During my 50-year career with Cru, an international Christian organization, I joined The Significant Woman Project and co-authored two biblically based, life-coaching courses designed to help women discover their personal mission from God. Many other countries translated the courses into their own language.
In my personal life, I relish my role as aunt to my nieces and nephews and enjoy my involvement in the ballroom dance community in Orlando, Florida.
